Our recent stay at Siesta Villas was nothing short of a dream come true.The breathtaking views of the ocean, the private access to the beach, and the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore were nothing short of magical. Siesta Villas exceeded our expectations in every possible way, making it an unforgettable vacation experience. The chefs prepared delicious Jamaican dishes using local ingredients, giving us a taste of authentic Jamaican cuisine. Each meal was a flavorful journey through Jamaica's rich culinary heritage, and the personalized service added a touch of elegance to every dining experience. The security team deserves special mention as well. Their vigilant presence provided us with an unparalleled sense of safety and peace of mind throughout our stay. We truly felt like our well-being was their top priority. The grounds keeper's meticulous care of the property was evident at every turn. The lush greenery, impeccably manicured lawns, and vibrant flora created a serene oasis that was a joy to explore. The seclusion and privacy of the villa, combined with the quietness of the surroundings, made it the ideal setting for a productive and relaxing work vacation. We're already planning our next visit and will be enthusiastically recommending this paradise to our friends and family!

We had a wonderful time in Runaway Bay at Bahia and Baywatch. The staff was amazing and took very good care of us. Transportation to and from the airport was easy and we even went on a little souvenir shopping trip. The property grounds are beautiful and ocean view is amazing, with beautiful sunsets. We wanted a relaxing vacation and definitely got what we asked for. Thank you Gary, and all the staff. Susan and Mark W.

Bahai did not disappoint. It was exactly as pictured, well appointed and beautiful grounds. Gary the owner was so easy to communicate with and provided helped coordinate a driver (Steve and Colleen) which worked out perfectly. They also drove us to our golf outing in Ocho Rios and then a stop at a cute Tiki restaurant on the way back. We requested some groceries and they were all there waiting for us when we arrived. All of the staff is great. Janet is such an amazing cook and we truly enjoyed all of her traditional Jamaican meals. For my birthday she made a fresh tropical bouquet and had the table set, complete with birthday sash and all of my favorite foods. I couldn’t have asked for anything better way to spend my birthday week. There is not much within walking distance so if you are looking for lots of activity this would not be the place for you. We were there for pure relaxation which was perfect. There is a small local beach bar just down the beach which we visited a few times.When we left I told everyone it was not Goodbye, but See You Later!
