Our family had a wonderful time at Morning Glory Villas. Claude, Joe, and all the other staff members were so friendly and accommodating. Any time an issue arose, they were also quick to fix it. Thank you so much for welcoming our family. It’s wonderful to stay at a Jamaican-owned villa as well.

Six of us stayed at the two Morning Glory properties for one week and then 3 of us stayed on, in the smaller Sanora house, for four nights. It's a delightful place: simple with all the basics; spacious gorgeous grounds that Joe keeps meticulous; tidy and clean houses that Margaret amazingly maintains. Margaret will also cook bountiful and delicious meals at your request for a small fee. Both houses have large verandas to use for dining and relaxing. Plan on bringing in your own staples like coffee, sugar, spices, etc. Both Claude and Joe live on property, so you always have help when and if you need it. Claude has a list of drivers who can get you almost anywhere you need to go. Rohan was our favorite, driving us to the Ochi open air market and helping us pick our produce. He also drove us up to the Worthy Park Rum distillery about 45 minutes away (highly recommended). Morning Glory gave our group an opportunity to escape the US winter, be together, yet have tons of space to be alone when we needed it. Mornings (afternoons and eves) were indeed glorious here at Morning Glory.

Our group had a wonderful stay. This home is exactly as advertised. Set in a quite neighborhood we were able to relax and enjoy the beauty of the property and the beach which is short walk away. The host and staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at these two houses. It’s a wonderful location with a 3 minute walk to a beautiful beach that you get passes to and have free chairs. There is also a great little restaurant right on that beach that was very reasonable prices and good food. A few things to note about the houses is that the main areas do not have air conditioning so the kitchen and living room get very warm. We tried leaving the door open but the mosquitoes were so bad we had to close it. Definitely bring bug spray. All the bedrooms have great air conditioning and very comfortable to sleep in. The house will only comfortably sleep 11. We had 12 so one kid has to sleep on the pull out sofa mattress. He didn’t mind but an adult would not be comfortable on it. The grounds of the house are beautiful and you do feel like you are on a tropical island with the beautiful flowers and trees. The housekeeper was very sweet. Just know that if she cooks for you you do have to go buy all the things for it yourself. We didn’t have a car so we couldn’t use her. Also remember that you can’t drink the water in the house if you aren’t local so you need to bring lots of bottled water. There is a supermarket very close to the house that has everything. If you want a simple nothing fancy house for a group and don’t mind no air in the main areas this is a great find for the price. We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area for a few days.

We had a wonderful time at Morning Glory. The property is very well kept, clean, and the best manicured lawns.
Our host, Mr. Claude, came over to meet us the same night we checked it and heard us doing Karaoke. He told us about a restaurant that does Karaoke every Tuesday night and reserved us a table. We had a blast!!!

Ms. Margaret and the grounds staff are absolutely amazing.
However my family and I were not happy with the TV and WiFi which was not stable at all. This was very important to us as we had kids with special needs who needed to use their electronic devices but we’re unable to do so. Also the shower (1st floor - main house) needs fixing, occasionally bursts of boiling hot water would rain down on us even when it was just the cold tap on.
However, overall it was a nice stay.
It’s very close to many tourist attractions which was a plus for the kids.
Thank you Mr. Burton for your hospitality.

I stayed here with friends and family for my birthday. The location was amazing, the housekeeper was extremely nice and the manager/owner was very kind to everyone. The beach is walking distance and very beautiful. They serve great food and drinks. We had no issues at all here! I would recommend this residence.

Best week ever
I’ve stayed all over the world and recently moved to Kingston for work for two years. My co workers and I have fallen in love with the bamboo blu beach club and beach so when I found out this house was literally two driveways away I knew would be perfect. Upon arrival I realized even the beautiful pictures of the property didn’t do it justice . The property is the best in the whole community and the houses are so lovely. At night you can see all the stars as you eat on one of three porches! We did our family /co worker thanksgiving here with 5 kids 13 adults and a dog and all had the time of our lives. We then went to Dunn falls with the kids which was only 7 minutes away. Claude was so accommodating and wonderful !! I will plan to stay here many more times !!

Everything and more
The listing does not do justice to the full experience of Mr. Burton's property. The grounds are immaculately maintained, communication was perfect with our host, and we felt truly at home for the duration of our stay. I will not only recommend but will be sure to stay here whenever I am in Ochi.

Jamaica Family Reunion Summer 2019
From our first conversations, Claude Burton was gracious, welcoming and easy! My sister dropped off groceries and announced at airport when she collected me, "You're going to love it...and you're going to love Margaret (our housekeeper)! She's warm and fun! And the place is everything listed on the website!" We had a hectic schedule to see family and to visit historical and cultural sites so we took advantage of the early morning and late evenings to enjoy the property. Most days we were welcomed by the warm smiles of Mr. Mills at the security gatehouse at the neighborhood entrance. The lifeguard and other young people at Bamboo Blue greeted us with cheerful good mornings each day as we made our way to the beach for early morning walks and swims. From time to time, Joe -- our groundskeeper -- brought us fresh-roasted breadfruit from the tree on the property for breakfast. Joe shared other gifts from the property, including making us lemongrass tea one evening. We often sat on the verandah chatting and laughing late into each evening...we were so comfortable we often ended up nudging each other to quiet down so as not to disturb the Burtons and Joe and his family who live on property. We were wonderfully comfortable with the openness of the space...we could come and go freely without having to open and shut a gate. And the open plan layout of the two villas was perfect for our us as we made meals together and schlepped cooking pots and serving dishes across the lawn to eat all our meals on the verandah of the larger villa. Mr. and Mrs. Burton were away enjoying a summer music festival when we first arrived and when they returned and heard our agenda, they noted that we would miss the annual cultural festival at Seville Great House at the top of August. I loved that they are tied into and appreciate the deep history and culture of the parish and the island. This family trip made deep impressions on all nine of us...and having your space as a landing spot helped engineer this in a big way. Thanks for being such lovely hosts! I hope you'll let us come back soon! And we look forward to referring friends and family to visit as well!

Truly a Home Away From Home!!!
We would like to thank Mr Burton from the tips of our toes for his hospitality. We had a great experience at the villas. Better than we could have imagined.
Mr Burton and his Wife were available for any questions and made sure that we had everything we needed to our comfort.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful and immaculately kept. Thanks to Joe for the work you do.
Our villas were clean and well kept during our stay. We made use of Ms Margaret for some of our meals for a small daily fee. Ms Margaret is an excellent cook and we enjoyed her company as well as her cooking. She will be sorely missed. If there were just a way to bring her back to the States with us! lol
The beach is walking distance away. There is a restaurant with good food and we took full advantage of it while getting some well needed rest and relaxation.
All in all, we all were very sad that our time had come to leave Morning Glory Villas. We plan to do it again next year October. I encourage anyone looking to rent a villa in the Mammee Bay area to book this location. You will not be disappointed.
Until next year our home away from home.....until next year.

Picturesque property with friendly staff
We had a lovely weekend getaway at Morning Glory villas. The villas are clean and nicely equipped including air-conditioned bedrooms and WiFi, and we can't say enough about how beautiful the gardens are. The property is located in a gated community next to The Riu Hotel, about 10 minutes from Ocho Rios, so it is safe and conveniently located. The beach is a short walk (about 5 minutes) and is good for a quick swim but underwhelming since it is in Jamaica, known for its beautiful beaches. The restaurant on the beach, Bamboo Blu, was not our cup of tea. However, we are native Jamaicans, so we tend to prefer authentic/traditional Jamaican cuisine over the fusion style dishes offered at Bamboo Blu. The hosts at Morning Glory, Claude and Geraldine, are very pleasant and accommodating. What was most remarkable about our stay was the excellent care and attention we received from the staff, Margaret and Boston. They were like family by the end of our stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

Wonderful vacation, beautiful villas, lovely hosts
We just returned from our 3 week holiday in Jamaica staying at the Morning Glory Villas and can honestly describe it as a truly splendid experience. We were a large group of 10 including 4 children.
Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Mr & Mrs Burton who made our stay a very pleasant one. The villas contained booklets with instructions along with very useful information. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of and looked after. We must mention that when my husband wanted to watch football Euro finals, Mr Burton graciously added the sports channels to our villa TV so that he didn't miss it. That was a big plus in our book.
The Morning Glory Villa description was completely accurate in terms of location and layout. The villas and grounds of the property are exactly as seen in the photos. The villas were cleaned daily by the wonderful Margaret and the grounds immaculately maintained by the caretaker Boston and a very hard working gardener. When we provided the ingredients, Margaret prepared very delicious meals for us at reasonable rates.
We would recommend this property without reservation and would love to return soon. If you are considering this accommodation, you will not be disappointed.
The Mammee Bay Beach club which includes Bamboo Blu restaurant is about 3 mins walk away. They are really great but do get busy when Cruise ships arrive in Ocho Rios. However, the beach gets quiet again after 3pm on Cruise ship days. Dunns River, Mystic Mountain and Dolphin Cove are all nearby and it takes about 15 mins drive to get into the town of Ocho Rios.
The only thing we would change about our vacation is that we would hire a car to do the small trips into town and to the nearby attractions. As a large group, our airport transfer and long trips were arranged with the lovely Angie and her husband Clinton introduced to us by Mr Burton.
An amazing time had by all.

The best place to stay in Ocho Rios
This was our first time staying here and we loved it. It was very well kept and very quiet. Everyone working their was very nice and helpful. We could come and go as we like. The beach was across the street, dunns river falls was 9 mins away. Definatelly going back. Having a ride would make your stay even more enjoyable.

Beautiful and well kept.
During our stay we stayed at "Over The Moon" one of the Morning Glory Villas. Mr. Burton, His wife, Margaret the housekeeper and Boston the care taker all took care of us. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel at home. It was nice to be within a short walking distance to the beach. The villas are well maintained and very clean. The pictures that are posted are exactly what you see and get. We enjoyed our stay and hated to go at the end of our vacation. We can truly say that we have new friends at Morning Gloria Villas. We can't wait to return next year to Morning Glory Villas. A great time was had by all.
