Windjammer Guest Comments: Dear Alan & Reg, Our first Jamaican visit exceeded all expectations. The staff of the villa (Jennifer, Tasha and Floyd) were continually working to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation. Jennifer with her wonderful cooking reviewed our daily menu to be sure the meals were to our taste. If it was not fresh fish purchased on the pier, it was her special jerk sauce for chicken or ribs. We also will not forget her special cakes and treats. She and Tasha made our Christmas dinner meal special and enabled us to truly experience Jamaican cuisine. We will not forget Jennifer's contagious laugh and her enjoyment in the stories we shared and all the questions we would have about the island and it's people. Tasha always surprised us with her effortless way of preparing the table for dining and how she could serve the dinner and then disappear to prepare our rooms for the night. She is a very thoughtful person with whom we shared our experiences and questions. She enjoyed our children and personally made sure we enjoyed our Christmas by locating and decorating a small tree to surprize us. At night we felt very secure in the villa. Floyd would wait until the last guest returned to the villa before he would retire. He also supervised any local touring by our teenagers to make sure they stayed safe while visiting the local sights on foot. Daniel from Karandas was waiting for us upon our arrival at the airport. He was always prompt for the prearranged times we would set for the next day during our trips to the local sites. His driving skills were always on the safe side and he never took chances on the road compared to some of the other tour buses we observed during the week. He especially made the trip to 9 Mile enjoyable and safe for us. His suggestions for local things to see and do allowed us to gain great understanding of the people and sites near Ocho Rios away from the cruise crowds. I also want to thank SunVillas for making this experience smooth and worry free from a planning perspective. Alan was helpful upfront as we chose between villas and provided great background on Jamaica. Latoya would quickly answer any question I had have no matter how small. I have already recommended you to others as I talk about the benefits of a villa experience. Sincerely, Dennis Hi Reg, Again, I have had another successful vacation through Sunvillas! Windjammer lived up to our expectations and everyone is still talking about Miss Delma’s cooking! The food was so good that the guys were discussing the upcoming dinner menu during breakfast. Tasha’s smile and Lasalle’s attentiveness will not be forgotten. The property is so beautiful and well kept…we can’t wait to come back. Clifton was timely and friendly. His knowledge of the terrain and easygoing manner was well appreciated. I am grateful that we were lucky enough to work with him. My friends and I travel a great deal and we were very impressed with the Windjammer staff, Karandas Tours and Sunvillas. Thank you! Marsha Alan: The trip to Jamaica and our stay at WINDJAMMER was wonderful !!! We had not one incident which caused us any worry. The flight was on time, the driver was there to pick us up and take us to Ocho Rios and the villa, the staff was great, the weather was fantastic, the food excellent and our flight back was without incident. Therefore, we can only say thank you and that does not seem adequate as we try to tell you how much all of us enjoyed the trip. Again thank you and keep in touch. C. Morgan Alan & Reg: We had a wonderful time at Windjammer. The villa was all we expected and more. The staff; Delma, Natasha and LaSalle were exceptionally helpful, courteous and hospitable. Windjammer is a well laid out villa and I think your site would do well to incorporate its floor plan as well as those of the other villas listed. I am sure my colleagues agree with me when I say we had a much better time at Windjammer than we did at Spanish Cove. We also did a lot more on this trip since we were there for nearly 8 days. Windjammer is very conveniently located for other activities - the proximity to Chukka Cove Caribbean Adventures made it easy for us to go ATV'ing, White River tubing, canopying, and horse back riding. We also spent most of a day in Negril (long drive) where we went para sailing, swimming and jet skiing. We were blessed with excellent weather throughout our stay which helped matters greatly. The snorkeling at Windjammer was out of this world - made for the best ocean experience I have ever had. Charlie and Bobbie Hudson who live in the villa next to Windjammer made for excellent neighbors. I did show one of my bankers around your web site yesterday and told him to seriously consider renting a villa from you guys the next time they plan a holiday. Finally - thank you to both of you for helping put this together and taking care of things at your end. With warm regards, Gautam Hi There....just wanted to thank you all for helping our family vacation to be a real blast. Our stay at the Windjammer Villa was superb. The staff were charming and Muriel and Suzanne prepared the most delicious meals. Cathy and Ivan were constantly smiling and always willing to help in anyway they could. Denton Prendergast was not only a skilled driver (which one has to be in Jamaica it would seem) but he was also very knowledgeable, resourceful, and extremely patient. Our trip would not have been the same without him. Once again thank you and I look forward to doing business with you again, soon. Respectfully, Suzanne Dear Reg, My (our) stay at the Windjammer Villa not only met my expectations, it exceeded them! We viewed all your villas from the website and chose Windjammer because it came closest to the consensus. It was beautiful, well appointed and very comfortable. Our driver Denton, began our experience on a friendly and helpful note. We trusted him and he took very good care of us. As for the villa staff, I cannot get over how friendly and accommodating everyone was. Clover took me shopping for the food for the week and it was great. She is so sweet, and such a great cook. The meals were fabulous. None of us are used to having someone cook and clean up after us, but once we got the hang of it, we all figured what a nice life that would be. Suzanne and Cathy and Ivan smiled constantly. They never made us feel uncomfortable and we were able to tell them our needs and they took care of everything with grace. I cannot think of a thing about our vacation I would change. We all agreed we would be coming back, and while next time we might need a bigger villa for more friends, we would wish for the same staff. We all plan to send thank you notes to the staff, once we can think of what to send them. Thanks you SO MUCH for being so efficient. Christy Alan & Reg My family had a wonderful time at Windjammer. I must say that the internet pictures did not do it justice. We were very impressed with the villa, the view, and all the accommodations. The staff was wonderful, Susan was filling in for Clover and I must say the job she did was superb. We had originally planned on several nights to eat out in Ocho Rios, but the cooking and service was so good that we only went out once! The attention that was paid to us has spoiled us completely. I could not think of anything Susan, Ivan, Cathy and Fiona could have done better. We all wanted to bring them home with us. You have done well in choosing your staff. We discovered a wonderful coral reef about 200 yards out that you never mentioned. I have been to Jamaica several times and have snorkeled in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Negril and many places in-between and none compare. We snorkeled every morning before breakfast and several days again in the afternoon. We all enjoyed Goldie, and my daughters were thrilled to find a kitten. (they named her butterscotch) I would like to suggest a larger quantity of water or ice tea at meals for American guests. We really had no idea that the staff would prepare anything we wanted before arrival. I know your e-mails suggested it, but we were pleasantly surprised by this. Maybe you could find a way to impart this on future guest who, like we, are new to the villa experience. Thank you for providing such quality service. You can be assured that we will return and encourage anyone we meet to stay at the Windjammer. Jeff Alan and Reg, Sorry that I am so late in letting you know how much we enjoyed the Windjammer villa in Jamaica. The staff catered to our every need. Marge was the best cook on the island! Ivan and Susan are priceless! Even our driver, Rodrick, catered to our every wish. My family and myself had no complaints, other than seven days was not enough. When people ask, tell them to rent the van with the driver. We are so glad we went with the driver. The roads are terrible outside of Montego Bay, and everyone drives fast. Roderick was not only a good driver, he was attentive to our wishes, very informative, and a whole lot of fun! Having a driver gave everyone the chance to observe Jamaica instead of paying attention to the road and the other drivers. Again, we had the experience of a lifetime. If we don't get back to Jamaica, we can truly say that we had a good time...we did just about everything that we wanted to do. We didn't go to Kingston because of the trouble going on there. However, outside of the television reports, you would not know anything was going on there on that side of the island. Having the villa was perfect...we didn't have to deal with the tourist crowd.
