Our stay at L'Horizon could not have been better. I brought 11 people down for a yoga retreat. We did yoga the morning by the pool, and in the afternoon on the upstairs balcony. The staff took fabulous care of us. The house is large and beautiful and very clean. Ansel, our chef, did an excellent job with our vegan meals. Miss Kelly, the house manager, was so very helpful in helping to arrange massages, our 2 excursions and transportation for our dinners out. She even went above and beyond going into Ocho Rios to help us make a dinner reservation when Miss T's phone was not working (great place for dinner). We also had dinner twice on the beach at Bamboo Blu which is a short walk away. The private association beach is a very short and easy walk. The beach is lovely, uncrowded and the water warm and the most beautiful shades of green and blue. We mostly just hung out by the pool and the beach in the afternoons. The owner was very responsive and checked in during our stay. I have only accolades for the house and the staff. I would highly recommend the property for groups or family reunions. Plenty of room for everyone to be together and have private space. Everyone in our group said this was a very relaxing vacation and all are retuning home relaxed and rejuvenated.

My husband, myself and our little girl had such a wonderful peaceful but fun filled time in Jamaica and it was all because of this beauful villa, the perfect staff, the hotel manager, the delicious food and Barrington the owner. The pictures really do not give this place any justice! Thank you so much for making this the greatest holiday we ever had.

Myself and 21 of my Sorority Sisters enjoyed a wonderful stay at L'Horizon. The pictures do not serve this house justice. It is beautiful! The owner, Mr. Barrington was always available to answer our questions. The staff was nice and professional. The beach is near and picture perfect. The manager even assisted us with finding transportation to the excursions. This was an amazing home. Thank you again!

My husband, myself and my little 8 month daughter had such a wonderful peaceful but fun filled time in Jamaica and it was all because of this beauful villa, the perfect staff, the hotel manager, the delicious food and of course Barrington the owner. The pictures really do not give this place any justice! Everthing was cleaned to perfection, no task was too big or too small, staff were so friendly and kind to my little daughter.....even through her tantrum phases and offered any help that they could. We asked to visit town and was driven to best parts of ocho rios so we can see the life of town which was amazing. The pool was great and HUGE! The jacuzzi was very relaxing and being served lunch by pool was amazing! the private beach was so relaxing, some days it was just us the calm waves and the restaurant staff. The most memorable part of this stay was that we had an issue getting back as our flight had been cancelled. Barrington was so understanding and let us stay until our flight was ok to go. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay and your genorosity, im so glad my daughter's first trip was to L'Horizon Jamaica. You will definitely be seeing us again.

I stayed here last month for my wedding. The house is beautiful and spacious- so you can always find a corner to steal away for some peace if you’re travelling in a big group. The staff are amazing- genuinely kind and personable people. Puppy (the security guard) was amazing & never made us feel like we were putting him out, no matter what time we got back at night or how many times we were in & out (which was a lot :/) The rooms are flawless! I love that every room its own AC unit, en-suite bathroom, and balcony; and every bed its own mosquito net- so no matter which room you’re in, you don’t feel like you lucked out. The wireless was the best I’ve experienced in Jamaica (strong signal and fast) and I’ve been all over the island a few times. The owner and staff were really accommodating and organised a room for some of my guests to change in (which I don’t even remember asking for!) The bar has its own sound system, which of course creates an amazing vibe to simply sit and chill. I honestly enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it.

I’ll be honest, the house is in need up some updating and care. The hot tub didn’t work, the tennis court was in ruin, and hot water, well, the wasn’t really any. Also, the WIFI was spotty (which was a challenge since some of us had jobs we had to stay on call for). That being said, my guests and I did have a wonderful time! The biggest asset of the house: the staff! Each and everyone of the staff members brought something to the experience! The chef: Oh My Gosh!! So good. He served literally the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had in my life and, as a repeat visitor to Jamaica, I’ve had my fair share. I cannot speak more highly of the food! Then there’s the bartender: makes AWESOME drinks, plays great authentic Jamaican music and knows how to shake a leg. He and the staff even taught us a few moves to bring back to the States. The house staff were also very friendly and cheerful from sun up to sun down, and the grounds crew were fun to hang and chat with, and also joined in on our nightly dance parties on the beautifully maintained lawn . The staff honestly made the house! As mentioned, the house is in need of some serious TLC, but that’s not to say it wasn’t beautiful. The rooms were spotless and well appointed, it was roomy and nicely furnished. It was authentically Jamaican and in a lovely neighborhood. Would definitely recommend, just w some explaination and w proper expectations. Oh, and the “private beach” is only a tiny beach club about 10 mind away. The music is loud and lounge chairs pricey. Was a bit dissatisfied w this as well. Luckily the shuttle driver we had drove us to some better spots.

L'Horizon is situated on the beautiful Mamme Bay private estate. The rooms are really spacious and tastefully decorated with en-suite jacuzzi in each room and private balcony.Whether you like to socialise or just have your own private space there's plenty of that to be found around the villa. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and we'll kept with that gorgeous swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi attached. We especially enjoyed the poolside bar for all those cocktails as you lounge around. If you have the energy there's a tennis court and gym to work off the extra pounds those super delicious home cooked meals will put on you. The staff, managed by Miss Kelly who runs a tight ship, are lovely, welcoming, friendly and were always willing to go more than the extra mile.They were only happy when we were happy. Really good service is hard to find these days but you'll find it here. I went there with my parents. My mum is very fussy when it comes to eating but at almost every meal she left an empty plate, and the only reason there was food left on the plate was because our tummies couldn't hold anymore. They were extremely happy and rested. We soooo enjoyed the beautiful private white sandy beach which was a leisurely 5 minutes stroll away, with some wonderful seaside restaurants offering freshly caught seafood plus. We also took the 10 minutes drive to Ocho Rios town centre to experience the beautiful craft market, shopping and visiting the authentic outdoor market. There was also Dolphin Cove, the world famous Duns River falls and so much more closeby which we did't have enough time to experience. My only regret was that the time was so short at the villa but we left feeling we had had a well rested holiday. L'horizon gave us the experience of the rich holidaying in a private villa at a fraction of the price. Would I return? In a heart beat. A big thank you to all the staff team for making our stay such a memorable one. Thank you, thank you and see you soon. Paulette W West London UK

10 days we stayed there - group of 7. Took until the 9th day for us to have hot water. The owner emailed us that the staff would be provided - the day before we left, he said we were responsible for their pay. After tens of thousands to stay there, this guy is a piece of work and has A LOT of nerve to do that. And the gal he uses as the manager is another level....she lied to our faces and had the nerve to bring the Jamaica police the day we left thinking that was going to make us pay her! She said we couldn't tip the staff, that we had to give her the tip....hahaha. She did nothing for us to deserve THEIR money. The contract also included a driver - who charged us $250 just to go to the Bob Marley house. The whole ordeal was ridiculous and I would NEVER recommend anyone waste their money here.

We spent 7 days at L’Horizon as we were getting married there. It is a beautiful villa set in a lovely location, but there were areas within the staff, that let them down. Although the staff was very friendly and very helpful they lacked initiative and sometimes required a little direction. Overall the Villa was lovely and it lived up to the images shown on the site. It was clean and tidy; the staff was approachable & well mannered. Mrs. Rose the cook, is a lovely lady and excellent cook she prepared some lovely homemade food; We enjoyed our 7-day stay there; it is at least 5-8 min walk from the beach, you can also gain access to the local restaurant. It was in an ideal location for our wedding guests as they stayed in the Riu, which shared the same beach as the villa and was next door to the villa, which is recommended if you are arranging a private function and have guests staying at the Riu. Barrington the owner was great, he has always responded promptly when we have communicated with him, and he ensured his upmost that we were happy, even once we had returned home. He is a great example of an excellent host. We would recommend the villa to others & would stay there again in the future.

Our week at L'Horizon was very enjoyable. The staff was extremely attentive to our needs. This was a vacation for my entire family, which consists of 18 people, myself, my wife, our kids and 8 grandkids. The 8 bedrooms at L'Horizon were comfortable, and perfect for our needs. The house is very large, but starting to show its age. We spent the majority of our time socializing at the pool and bar area. The Jacuzzi was not operating during our visit, but we did not miss it. The bar itself was not very well stocked, but transport into the Ocho Rios market was provided, and we were able to buy all the supplies needed for our group. Transportation was also provided for all of the sites we wanted to visit. My group really enjoyed the zip line, and the swim with the dolphins. Meals provided were very good, it took the cooks a couple of days to adjust to the size of our group, but they did a great job. The Jamaican style of cooking takes a little getting used to, as they leave all the bones in which can be difficult with small children, especially when serving fish. The beach, which is a 5-6 minute walk is wonderful, and was perfect for our group with the diverse ages. The Tennis court is in need of repair, but our group were not tennis players. All in all my family had a great time that we will talk about for years, One thing I should mention is that any supplies used at the bar that are supplied by L'Horizon require cash payment, also you must pay for the gas used in the transport vehicle with cash. We scrambled a little to come up with enough cash, so I suggest you bring a little extra.

The villa was everything the pictures showed and more.......the pool was gorgeous and the grounds spotless. There are not enough words to describe the warmth of the staff, they were wonderful and very accommodating and very friendly, never making you feel like you weren't at home. Omar and his drivers were totaling delightful, with a wealth of knowledge about the island. Great vacation!

We had a group of 12 and we were very comfortable. The house was spacious and clean. The staff was amazing and all seven of them worked very hard to make our trip memorable. The home cooked food was great. The beach was right around the corner and there were plenty of local attractions nearby. Barrington, the homeowner, was very responsive to our inquiries leading up to the trip and we will definitely plan on staying here again.

We spent a great week at L’Horizon the last week of May. It was one part reunion, one part wedding and we all had a great time. We had a full house of 20 people and the reviews were correct- we never felt crowded. Major cudos to Ms. Joy and her team for great meals and even greater personalities. Many a time we made last minute changes to the menu or headcount and she still made it work. Great drinks were made round the clock for our huge group by resident bartender Oliver. The grounds are well maintained and the property and landscaping is as shown in the pictures. Major praise for O’Neil who played the role of driver, special events chef and all around super guy who made our stay at L’Horizon great. We got married on site and O’Niel handled it from beginning to end with a great menu..including a special request for a roasted whole pig. It was amazing and we are still getting compliments many weeks later! The staff of L’Horizon is wonderful and very accommodating with great food, great ambiance and personalities. Take a 5 minute walk to Bamboo Blu for beach access and great meals. Villa residents do get a 15% discount if they present a membership card. See Ms. Joy for the card. A good time was had by all!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at L'Horizon villa. I want to start by highlighting that the staff here is second to none. Joy (the cook) is an amazing cook and we enjoyed each meal she prepared for us. The ladies made sure our rooms were cleaned well everyday during our stay. The villa was absolutely spotless. We had a bartender on hand throughout the day. It was very nice to have drinks and listen to music by the pool. He also made great drinks! (the Bob Marley shot being my favorite)! I felt really safe with the two guys around that kept the gate, the pool, and handled landscaping. They were constantly working (the landscaping is beautiful). My favorite accommodation was access to the private beach! The beach was clean, it wasn't crowded, it was beyond beautiful, and there was a cool beach restaurant where we were brought lunch and drinks right on the beach!! I really enjoyed the privacy of the villa and yet being able to have a resort feel to it. I will definitely return when in Jamaica.

The house was clean and the staff was friendly. I was never disappointed with my drinks the bartender fixed and the pool is amazing. Now the bad. When we arrived the house was very hot and full of mosquitoes. The linens are paper thin, the pillows are terrible and the towels are very hard. No water pressure in the shower and at times the water was not hot. The house needs to be upgraded. Safes in the rooms did not work. We had a misunderstanding about the transportation because we were charged for each individual when we went somewhere. The owner did offer to pay our transportation the rest of the trip. Omar still charged us but the owner gave us our money back the day we were leaving. I feel if the house is upgraded with new linens, pillows, towels, safe in rooms, vanity chairs and chairs in rooms re-upholstered and control the mosquitoes by keeping the doors and windows closed it would be a more enjoyable experience. It wasn't a horrible experience but I did have higher expectations.

Just returned back from staying in this beautiful villa on the exclusive Mammee Bay Estate in Jamaica with friends for 2 weeks. Arrived in Jamaica after a long flight to be met by the agent and his driver Omar for the journey to the villa. Both very nice and helpful and gave us a brief overview of the area. The Mammee Bay Estate is an exclusive gated community and has a secluded feel to it even though it is so close to everything. The villa itself is imposing from the outside but surprisingly cosy inside given its open plan feel. We stayed in a large comfortable double room with a huge ensuite bathroom and balcony. The room was always spotlessly clean during our stay and had the added benefit of a flat screen TV with a large selection of satellite channels and the best WIFI signal we've ever had in the Caribbean. It is surrounded by lovely gardens, tennis courts, bar area and of course a great pool. The villa was fully staffed and they couldn't do enough for you. From the tons of food served by Joy and Stacey to the fantastic Jerk Chicken and Lobster cooked by their brilliant chef "Barefoot"! Washed down with the tastiest cocktails made by resident barman Ruel - try the pina coladas and rum punch, especially nice whilst lying round the lovely pool - we all cheered when he arrived one afternoon! During the day we often went to the Bamboo Beach Club that is just round the corner from the villa, and rented either a sun lounger or cabana. As the beach club is also located on the Mammee Bay Estate residents of L'Horizon have free entry to the club and 15% discount on water sports, food, drinks etc. A nice alternative to the pool. Close by there is plenty of duty free shopping as well as Dunns River Falls and Mystic Mountain - don't need to book a tour just get a cab and your there. Or pop down to Island Village - loads of shopping, food and live music. Try Ocean on a sunday night for a boogie and very strong rum cocktail! The staff really make your holiday amazing, they can't do enough for you and nothing was to much trouble. The owner Barrington was very helpful during the whole booking process and our stay was even better than expected. Cant wait to go back with all my children and their partners next time as they will love it and its big enough not to get under each others feet! Thank you again to Barrington and his team at L'Horizon

We’ve been to this beautiful spacious villa several times now. And we always have a relaxing wonderful stay. The facilities are great, a good sized outdoor pool, tennis court, gym and our very own onsite barman. He makes awesome cocktails for sipping by the pool or chilling out at the bar listening to some great music, all drinks are very reasonably priced. The food is great and you can definitely experience the taste of Jamaica or request anything else that may take your fancy. The onsite staff keep the villa spotless, our rooms were cleaned, bedding and linen changed daily, the room always smelt and felt very fresh. The beach is only a few minutes walk from the villa; the entry pass entitles you to 15% discount on food and drink at the restaurant on the beach. We’ll definitely be staying here again, L Horizon catered to all of our needs, we didn’t have to even leave the villa if we didn’t want to, everything is on site. Mr Johnson the villa manager is always a pleasure to do interact with. Mr & Mrs Mason London, England

A Magical Experience! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We just got back from a week's stay at L'Horizon along with our kids, their spouses and children ranging in age from one year to 13! Sixteen of us in all! We had a ball! With a group like this, it would have been difficult to eat out and get to the attractions each wanted to go to. This situation could not have been more perfect! We had a bus to take us everywhere we needed to go and Omar to set things up and help us avoid the crowds. He was fantastic! The cooks ,Ms. Rose and Joy, were wonderful and the food was out of this world! One of our grandchildren is quite the foodie and helped plan the meals and even went to the market with Joy.! We had jerk chicken, curried goat, peppered shrimp, cod cakes , all sorts of wonderful vegetables, rice and beans, rice and pumpkin, fabulous soups.........everything was superb and served to accommodate our needs with young kids. We even had a bartender, Ruel, who supplied the kids with fabulous drinks by day (.they thought they had died and gone to heaven) and the adults with fabulous drinks by night! The most amazing thing: if you were in your bedroom with the door closed, it was extremely quiet! That's hard to accomplish with 8 kids running around. There are a few things that need updating or repair, but that certainly didn't detract from our vacation! Perfect place; perfect staff; perfect location!

Me and my husband spent a week at this beautiful villa and we loved it. The staff were great. Rooms where cleaned daily, very spacious and spotless, all equipped with an on suit bathroom and air conditioning and the chef made some lovely dishes. The pool is well maintained, a lovey spot to relax and the beach is only a short walk with a bar/restaurant. We visited a few local attractions Dunns River Falls, Mystic Mountain and Dolphin Cove which are only a short drive from the villa. A nice relaxing break, I would highly recommend.

Quiet, extraordinarily clean, superb staff, luxurious amenities and really delicious food.

LHorizon villa is simply awesome. This place is immaculately maintained for the visitors comfort. The airconditioned bedrooms are large with their own bathroom and balcony. The staff is fantastic at keeping us happy and entertained. They are great cooks, friendly accomodating people.I would recommend this place to my family, friends and relatives. As a matter a fact, I am already doing just that. I would like for them to come and experience what we experienced here and why I called it, the best kept secret in all of Ocho Rios.

I celebrated my 50th birthday with 18 of my friends in this Villa. 19 ladies all in the same house together for 7 days...no husbands, no kids, no work and no worries. WE HAD FUN! Talk about Luxury and pampering! I fell in love with the villa even before booking it and then after talking with the owner, Barrington (who has become my friend for life) everything just fell into place. Barrington assured me that his staff would cater to all our needs and YES, PAMPER US THEY DID! The manager, Miss Kelly, ..... Karen, Mama Rose, Stacie, Nikko, Stephen and the other ladies and gentlemen who worked there etc were all exceptional. Miss Kelly made sure everything (and i really mean everything!) was perfect and to our satisfaction everyday! Our food (tasted so so so good!) was prepared and served on time and always exceeded our expectations. The service was superb. Our rooms were cleaned and sheets changed everyday. By the time we left, everyone felt like family. They also very graciously accommodated different diet needs of our very large group. The Villa also has a driver, Omar, who picked us up from Mo Bay airport on arrival and dropped us off when we left. He also took us every and anywhere we wanted to go to during our 7 day stay. 19 women yapping away on the bus each trip (and believe me, it did get loud most of the time) Omar was very nice and accommodating all through. On one of the days, I had a birthday party celebration and for this we had an awesome chef - Oneal- who catered although this is not included, but the price was very reasonable and the food SUPERB! The villa also has a resident DJ with awesome music and you can also give him your playlist if you so desire. The usual amenities were fantastic too - pool, jacuzzi, rooms, bathrooms, were very clean and well maintained. And the Private beach OMG!!! was nice and quiet and relaxing and just a few minutes walk from the villa. The rooms are spacious and air conditioned (which is important) because we were there in the summer. We had a great time at the Villa. We could not have stayed anywhere better with all of us together like that. Some of us hadn't seen each other in years, you can imagine how we carried on.... I will definitely recommend this property to everyone I know and WILL BE BACK!!! WE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!

This home is the perfect spot to relax and just enjoy Jamaica. Clean home. Everything worked (A/C, Showers, Etc..) and the staff was attentive. We had two families including six kids that cannot wait to return. The staff made everyone feel at home and the location is ideal. We had plans to do several excursions but only headed out once (Dunns River Falls) because it was so nice at our home with the pool, music, basketball court, and yard to play soccer. The beach club is a short walk as well and there is a great little bar with live music. What else could you ask for? We will definitely come back and Barrington is available when needed.

We had a fabulous stay at L'Horizon, the house is beautiful and the on-site staff all looked after us so well. The house has been fitted out to high standards everywhere, all of the large bedrooms are nicely furnished and ensuite, with aircon and tv etc etc. Linens were good quality and changed daily. The downstairs living spaces are massive, but we hardly used them as it was so nice to be outside around the pool area. We had the "food inclusive" tariff and Miss Rose (housekeeper & cook), assisted by Miss Stacey, looked after us fantastically - they provided a list of suggested dishes for breakfast, lunch & dinner but were happy and very able to provide other dishes we requested. They kept the villa spotless too. Outside we had Nico and Steve taking care of security (the villa is fully gated and fenced), the grounds and the pool. The entrance to the Mamoo Bay area where the villa is situated is also manned 24/7 by a security guard, we felt 100% safe. It's a short stroll down to the beach area, where a good restaurant/bar is situated right on the shoreline - we enjoyed some great evenings there. During our stay there was an amount of construction work for a new villa on the adjacent lot, which occasionally was noisy. It didn't much bother us though, and I imagine the exterior works will be completed soon anyway. The villa has it's own transportation available, through a sub-contractor - note you will be expected to pay for fuel for any trips, except for the airport transfers. We visited Dunns River Falls, White River and Dolphin Cove which are all within easy reach of the villa. We also explored downtown Ocho Rios and visited the supermarket a few times for "essential supplies" - i.e., wine! There is a lovely circular bar by the pool outside the villa, where we enjoyed numerous beers and rums...but they had no wine so we supplied our own! I wouldn't hesitate to return for another vacation here, I highly recommend L'Horizon if you're looking for a peaceful, pampered and relaxing break in Ocho Rios!

A group of 15, and we had plenty of room! The property is beautiful. A 10-minute walk to a private beach where you can buy food and beverages, but the prices there are steep, and you are not supposed to bring in your own picnic. The villa is comfortable and spacious, though it could use some updating. The owner, manager, and staff were welcoming, attentive, and accommodating. A driver was available, and made some excellent recommendations for sites, restaurants, and bars. The villa is conveniently located to sites, and within walking distance to a fun bar.

It was a challenge searching for a villa for 7 couples. Let me save you time and tell you, your search is over as L'Horizon is an absolute gem. Barrington was very timely, accurate and accommodating in all communication. We were met at the airport by a driver and vehicle to fit as all. The home is extremely beautiful and the pictures were spot on. Upon arrival Miss Kelly gave us a tour of the home and we picked the bedrooms we wanted - all rooms are spacious, have a washroom, air conditioned and most have a balcony. The staff include a chef, 3 ladies for laundry and housekeeping, a bar tender, a pool boy, a gardener and a chaffer. They are all so nice and do a fabulous job. The house is spotless and the meals are great - giving you a taste of the Jamaican food. The pool area is exquisite - we spend many lazy afternoons there. The driver was able to take us anywhere we wanted to go and even made reservations for us. We spent a day at Mistic Mountian and one at the Blue Hole. We hired a message therapist who came to the house and set up on the upstairs balcony for the day - so so so relaxing. We were able to go to a grocery story for snacks, mix and alcohol. Barrington even called me on our arrival and departure dates to make sure all was well. I could go on but to sum it up: totally beats an all inclusive, very relaxing and private, incredible staff, trustworthy owner - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Only negative watch out for mosquito bites as we did not even realize they were biting us. Two people got over 250 bites and they swelled and itched - there may be a spray to prevent this so look into it.
