About this property

Allamanda Villa- ROUND HILL until October 31- Tryall Nov 1- van/driver- nanny

Allamanda Villa is an elegant five bedroom Caribbean vacation home. All on one level, the mid-century modern villa boasts a dramatic fifteen hundred square foot great room with soaring thirty foot ceilings and fifty feet of sliding glass doors that open up onto an expansive covered terrace.
Spanning one hundred feet, the terrace affords guests the luxury of enjoying the outdoors in any weather. Play billiards or table tennis, enjoy a frozen cocktail at the bar while watching a sports event on the outdoor television, or lounge on the sofa and read a book, occasionally glancing up to watch the children play in the infinity edge, beach entry salt water pool, before gazing out at the Caribbean Sea.
Three master bedrooms are accessible via the terrace or an interior hallway. Two of these measure eighteen feet squared, and have en-suite bathrooms with walk in showers and walk-in closets. The third master bedroom measures twenty feet squared and has an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, an outdoor shower, and jacuzzi bathtub. There is also a two bedroom family suite which share an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and bathtub. The parents (or nanny) room, considered the forth master, has a secure private outdoor garden. The children's room has two sets of custom made bunk beds and a video game system. All bedrooms have been floored in beautiful teak wood, are comfortably air conditioned and have forty-two inch televisions with cable access.
The great room has a seventy inch TV and video game system. WiFi internet is available throughout the property as well as a wireless speaker system (ALEXA) in the public spaces which can stream thousands of radio stations from around the world.
The villa sits on two acres of manicured grounds which includes an impressive play scape for children with swings, a slide and rock climbing wall. Incorporated into the drive-way is a basketball net.
The villa staff includes your own personal butler, a chef, chamber maid, a laundress, night manager, and gardener, all of whom will cater to your every need.
Attached to the villa at no extra cost is a passenger van and full time driver available for day trips around the island. Furthermore, for families with children ages eight and under we will provide forty hours of NANNY service!
Two Jamaican Dogs live at Allamanda (Peaches and Plum). They are very friendly and are given free reign of the property at all times when the owners are in residence. If requested, however, the dogs can be kept in their ample dog run during the day and only let loose in the early evening to roam the property at night. Just let the staff know your preference.
Allamanda villa also includes beach club membership at nearby Round Hill resort, perhaps the most exclusive resort in the Caribbean; playground of celebrities and CEO's.

Maximum occupancy at Allamanda Villa is ten adults or eight adults and four children. We can also accomodate two infants in full size cribs.

Not included in the rate are food and beverage, gas for the van, driver gratuities, and expenses incurred on day trips and at Round Hill.

Gorgeous villa!
Our group of 10 just left Allamanda and we were all very sad to leave the gorgeous views and cool breezes from the nearby coast. The home itself is gorgeous. Beautiful decor and very well-appointed. One thing we didn’t realize from the pictures is that the rooms are sort-of outside. When you open any of the bedroom doors, you step out into a long, open air hallway. It feels like you’re not all staying in the same house for some reason. Just information that some may find useful. There is an abundance of comfortable seating both inside and out. I would suggest cushions on the dining room chairs because the lip on the fronts of the chairs is really uncomfortable on your legs. Also, on the big, white sectional outside, I think pillows against the back would be wonderful since everyone in our group kept plopping down to sit and we would bang our heads really hard on the framing of the top of the sofa since it’s just fabric on top of wood. Mrs. Kerr’s cooking was unbelievable! She gave us a real taste of Jamaica. Crystal, Michael, Kingsley, and Pamela kept the house in tip-top shape every single day and our driver Juna was amazing. The owners are the best I’ve ever worked with. So, incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed before our arrival. Stay here! You won’t regret it:)

Can't wait to come back!
We had the BEST family vacation at Allamanda-- 3 generations, and 4 grandkids under 6. Everyone was thrilled. The staff was so accommodating to the kids. Trace helped us get car seats, Mrs Kerr and Michael gave them kid-friendly meals and dishes, and the baby had his own high chair pulled up to the table. There were kids beds, toys, and floats for the pool. They especially loved the playground and books. All of our pre-arrival groceries were there, our preferences were met, and we especially loved the blackened shrimp linguini on our last night. We really trusted the nanny and she was very attentive to the baby, so that we could let him nap while we enjoyed Round Hill. Even Crystal and Pamela (housekeeping) were aware of when the baby was napping, while still keeping it spotless. Having everyone together, under the same roof, eating at the same table, and enjoying the same pool was heaven! Thank you everyone!

A slice of heaven - such a treat!!
This home - and the incredible staff - are even lovelier than the pictures and numerous 5-star reviews depict. The open-air flow from the living space to the pool deck and incredible ocean view was glorious - and unlike any we'd seen. The bedrooms were gigantic, the pool large, and the ability to bop between the house and Round Hill Resort made this the most perfect place for us - all of the conveniences of staying in a home with the amenities and resort access as if you'd stayed on one. And can we talk about THE STAFF?! My goodness, we've never indulged in a staffed house before (although we've done MANY VRBOs) and I didn't know quite what to expect. Michael was simply THE BEST. Chef Kerr's meals were simply OUTSTANDING. Our laundry was done every day! (Such a treat for us as we have young kids and always so much laundry to do.) Rohan drove us everywhere we wanted, whenever we wanted. The van and his assistance was simply priceless. And Glen and Michele - they were the icing on the cake. I have never corresponded with such responsive, helpful, patient with all my questions, hosts before. I can't imagine a better choice on the island of Jamaica than Villa Allamanda. THANK YOU to all of you who helped make it such a glorious escape.

Great Times @ Villa Allamanda!
We had an outstanding time at Villa Allamanda with two families (4 adults and 3 children ages 6-9) during our 4-night stay. From the responsiveness of owners Glen and Michele before the trip, to the warm greeting by the house staff upon arrival, our stay was an absolute delight. The villa is even better than the photos and true to everything listed in the amenities. The thoughtful layout provides so much privacy in the comfortable living quarters and invites community in the shared spaces. Architecturally interesting design elements abound, too. We loved Mrs. Kerr's delicious meals - only limited by your imagination - and her peaceful spirit. We appreciated Michael's professionalism, attentiveness, and openness to answer any question (and frozen drinks upon request!!!). We're thankful for Ms. Lee and Crystal's smiles, greetings, and excellent work in the rooms daily. Kingsley's artistry and diligence in the grounds was impeccable and his calm demeanor was a joy. We loved having Ms. Maxine provide relief babysitting so we could enjoy a day of relaxed meals sans kiddos. Jason's work made us feel very safe and well-taken care of each night. And of course our stay would not have been the same without Rohan. From the trips to Round Hill, Seven Mile, and even up to neighborhoods in the hills - off the beaten path - he was so knowledgeable and accommodating. The staff makes the world your oyster so to speak - so it helps to think through all you want in advance as Villa Allamanda offers an experience tailored to your group. When in doubt - ask - they can probably make it happen!!! Thank you for an amazing, relaxing, and carefree vacation. Missing the beautiful ocean view from my favorite lounger on the veranda overlooking the pool and someone to ask: “What time would you like dinner?”

Wonderful Family Vacation Villa!
The house and staff were fabulous and with the Round Hill membership and a driver to take us there each day it makes for the perfect family vacation! The house is laid out well for a large group and the furnishings are lovely, comfortable, and spotless. It is very well equipped with even pool floats and children's toys too! We were 6 adults and 3 small kids and a baby so we ate all our meals at the house and the friendly staff did a great job of preparing and serving great meals, snacks and drinks for everyone. We loved going to the beautiful Round Hill resort each morning and then enjoying the house pool in the afternoons. From the prompt responses to my communication with Glen and Michele, the driver meeting each family at the airport (with car seats!) to the relaxed and friendly "good byes" on our departure, Allamanda Villa made for a flawless family vacation. We will be back!

Just finished a short trip of 4 nights to Allamanda Villa, and are so sad to go. Great location, great house, and great staff make for an amazing stay. We can’t wait to return. The staff was incredible, friendly and accommodating. Kingsley kept the grounds and pool looking great! Ms. Lee and Crystal kept a spotless house. Mrs. Kerr made the most delicious meals, and Michael and Jason kept everything running smoothly. Special thanks to our driver Rohan and our babysitter Shanti who rounded out an incredible experience. The master outdoor shower was a personal favorite! Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic Villa Experience
I highly recommend Allamanda Villa, the hosts (Glen and Michele), and the staff. My family and I stayed at the villa for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and we were treated to such a wonderful 5 star experience. Our group of 9 people ranged from ages 85 to 13 and each person raved about how much they enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Kerr, the chef, is amazing - every meal was extremely delicious. I can't put into words how talented a chef she is (her coconut shrimp is to die for!) Michael, the butler, catered to our every need (his mango cocktails were a hit), and he made the anniversary dinner very special. Kingsley decorated for us with tiki torches and local flowers, and helped my husband find a good fishing spot nearby. Mr. Binns, our driver, was excellent - especially because we were travelling with a disabled passenger (the vehicle was handicap accessible, which is rare in Jamaica). Maxine, who came in as a personal aide to the disabled traveler, showed such tenderness and care, which was sincerely appreciated. Ms. Lee and Crystal - the housekeepers - made our lives easy and seamless. Jason, our evening security, was also great and accommodating. Thank you! We look forward to coming back!

Wonderful memories!!
An amazing week geared toward relaxation and good eating! Spent 7 glorious nights at Allamanda as a family of 5: me, my husband, our two boys ages 4&5 and my mother in law. It was a seamless holiday made possible by the amazing crew - from the owner Michele whom I spoke to beforehand prior to booking to the on-site staff of Micheal, Mrs Kerr, Kingsley, Jason, our driver Rohan, our nanny Maxine, and the amazing housekeepers. Our big request was eating all the local cuisine - especially fruit - and they did not disappoint! Micheal served up the perfect cocktails by the pool, Mrs Kerr was on fire in the kitchen serving amazing meals - her crab and lobster and akee dishes were unforgettable. Kingsley gave us a tour of the grounds and cut down fresh coconuts and breadfruit. I can go on forever. Part of me was conflicted in writing a review because I want to keep this gem a secret! The membership to Round Hill was definitely a HUGE plus. Looking back I don’t think the experience would’ve been quite the same. So I’m very happy the owner makes this big commitment as it’s a huge selling point. We spent every morning at the beach and my kids couldn’t get enough. In the afternoon we’d come back to the villa for a nap and then would swim in the pool and have appetizers and a lovely dinner. It was heaven. My oldest learned how to swim unassisted for the first time which we captured on video. What a memory to cherish! Unfortunately, on the last day my son hit his head and ended up needing three stitches. Micheal handled it well and called several doctors and we felt comfortable with the recommended medical center and the attending dr who sutured the wound and sent instructions for follow up care. When we came home the next day we visited our pediatrician and she was pleased with the result which put as all at ease. I think it’s a testament to the experience that this unfortunate event didn’t put a damper on the trip at all. We loved Jamaica, especially the Allamanda family. We will see you soon. ONE LOVE

Best Vacation in a Long Time!
The photos of Allamanda Villa do not do it justice. We felt our travel stress disappear as we walked into the house and saw the view, what a glorious place! The staff at the house was amazing, each kind and attentive, and determined to provide us a with a wonderful experience. Having access to the resort nearby for tennis and beach access was an incredible bonus, but we were just as happy to stay at Allamanda where we made fantastic memories. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to Michele and Glen for sharing your piece of paradise, and to Michael, Mrs. Karr, Crystal, Ms. Lee, Kingsley, Jason and our driver Fitzroy for being such lovely hosts.

Beautiful villa - cannot wait to return!
Friends and family (10 of us ranging in ages from 6 to 40+) stayed at this beautiful villa and were spoiled by the amazing staff! We had been at Round Hill for a few days prior and then moved to Allamanda so we could all stay together, and it was a fantastic decision. We were still able to enjoy Round Hill's beach and restaurant, while returning to Allamanda for privacy and luxury. (We really appreciated that the villa has Round Hill privileges - best of both worlds!) The 5 bedrooms are private and very comfortable. The pool and shared spaces are superb, and the staff (Michael, Mrs. Kerr, Jason, etc) all made sure we were taken care of. Mrs. Kerr cooked up fabulous breakfasts & dinner every day - my kids really miss the royal treatment! Michael was super helpful in getting all the food/beverages we needed. We invited the staff to join us for dinner one night and it was so fun! Keep in mind that you need to bring enough cash to pay for food and beverage, and to tip the staff at the end. They work hard and deserve it! Communication with owners Michele and Glen was excellent. Everything about this stay was top notch & I cannot recommend it enough. This will be our destination if and when we return to Jamaica.

This home is truly gorgeous! It is exactly like the pictures, and yet better! The scale of this house is amazing…there is so much room! 8 ladies stayed here and it was simply perfection. The staff was very accommodating. Having a dedicated driver was THE best. I would definitely book a stay here again, longer this time.

Absolutely AMAZING
I truly don’t even know where to begin about my experience at Allamanda. For beginners I was originally reserved at another location in celebration of my 40th birthday that I had reserved well in advance but due to COVID almost half of my party was unable to attend and forced me to look for something else. In my search I came across Allamanda and the pictures were stunning. From the beginning of contacting the owners it was a pleasure, Michele & Glen we’re prompt with responses, very accommodating and knowledgeable regarding any concerns I had. They were simply very pleasant and easy to work with. Leading up to the trip COVID once again affected things and left me and my group working against time literally less than a week prior to our trip we were told of the new requirements to visit Jamaica including COVID testing and travel authorization, which were all time sensitive. We did everything required and even up to the day of travel more than half of my group still did not have authorization and was pending approval for travel. They stayed in touch as well as sending emails and making endless calls until 1am the day before we were set to leave and then back at it the next day until every one made their way to Jamaica. I truly can not express my level of gratitude towards Michele & Glen, the extent they went to and all that they made possible for myself and my family and how special they made my birthday....this all before we even stepped foot in their stunning villa. Pictures do NO JUSTICE for the beauty of this villa every detail was ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING from the moment we entered. Upon arrival we were warming greeted by their amazing staff. Michael was attentive to our every need; Rohan the driver made himself available for anywhere we desired to go. I have eaten at some very nice restaurants and the meals the chef prepared for us daily at Allamanda sits high with some of the finest I have been to. Not to mention the convenience of the location, it being approx 30 mins from everything. In short they have made this a birthday experience I will never forget, even with they many obstacles they pulled it off. I thank you Michele and Glen and your entire staff for making everything perfect beyond my expectations which speaks volumes. I highly recommend this villa and will definitely be back on any next trips to Montego Bay. Thank you again!

Perfection
With a first time experience of booking a villa, my expectations were surpassed. The staff honestly made the trip everything and more, providing great service and security during our stay. The only hiccups was not having the correct address when going through customs as the property is not listed with Montego Bay as the parish in the customs system. Also, The suggested 12% tip for the staff was actually requested by the property manager as if it was mandatory, but we certainly provided gratuity as fit. Overall the stay was breathtaking and I plan to return soon and frequently.

“AMAZING” is the one word that describes Allamanda Villa and its wonderful staff!
After searching various websites to find the perfect property for our Montego Bay Memorial Day weekend trip, we happened to stumble across a true gem — the gorgeous Allamanda Villa. The villa is absolutely breathtaking and far exceeded our expectations. The four master bedrooms were perfect for the four couples on the trip, and everyone had enough space throughout the villa to come and go as they pleased. To my surprise, the villa was even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures (and the pictures are stunning)! We could not have chosen a better property for our group. I must also note that booking the property was such an easy and smooth process. The owners, Michele and Glen, were very responsive and ensured that we had everything we needed in advance of our stay. Michael (house manager) and the entire Allamanda Villa staff were top notch. They were extremely courteous, accommodating, attentive, and patient (you can imagine that it might be difficult to please eight strong personalities, but Michael and the staff made everything so easy breezy). The staff took care of every single detail without any of us having to lift a finger. Having access to a 24-hour driver was simply cherry on top. We were all quickly spoiled by, and truly grateful for, such first-class treatment and attentiveness. Our group had an awesome trip, and we look forward to returning to Montego Bay and Allamanda Villa in the very near future! Thank you for making our visit such a memorable one. It was literally the best trip ever!

We live in Canada, but I was born in Jamaica and have since traveled back for many vacations. As a child my parents brought me back to the island every summer and I have so many fond memories from these times. Now that I have children I want to share with them their rich heritage and help them to create magical memories of their own.

Why they chose this property

Great River Private is a lovely neighborhood, gated and secure. there are only twenty one other estates in the well established property. The breeze from off the hills behind keep us cool and the view of the ocean in front keep us mesmerized.

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to some of the worlds most elegant resorts (Round Hill and Tryall), golf, tennis, night life. Shopping is also nearby and the airport is only twenty minutes away.
