Jamahome-Beachfront 5BR-5bath beautiful villa at Silver Sands Villa Resort

Our group of 10 adult friends has been coming to Jamahome each February for many years. It really feels like home to us, and starts with Ruddy's warm greeting at the airport. Claudette welcomes us at the door to Jamahome, and thus begins our fortnight in heaven! Our every need is catered to, from delicious food to laundry; from housekeeping to local information; and all within the warm embrace of the Jamaican sunshine.
Meals are lovingly prepared by Claudette and Pauline and include wonderful local treats like ackee, callaloo, tasty island lobsters, and of course the local fruits like mango, papaya and plantain. If you've never had truly ripe pineapple or freshly squeezed orange juice, you haven't lived! Individual needs and preferences are catered to as well - we just have to tell Claudette once and she remembers!
The days slip by with reading, games and conversation on the large, comfortable screened-in porch or in lounges or hammocks on the terraced lawn stretching to the beach. The colors of the water are unbelievable, and swimming is a favorite activity along with walking.
Ruddy takes us on exploratory trips wherever we'd like to go. This year we enjoyed the Sun Valley plantation near Ocho Rios where a most enthusiastic woman showed us exotic food and medicinal plants grown in Jamaica. We even got to taste many of them. Nearby, Noel Coward's summer home, Firefly, offers an interesting tour of the home and great views from Coward's grave site. In Ocho Rios we go back each year to enjoy a wonderful meal at Evita's while we look out over the harbor and those fabulous shades of blue water. Outameni near Montego Bay gave us a romp through Jamaican history followed by a good lunch at Glistening Waters. In past years we have visited other sites and explored inland to the mountainous areas. There is plenty to see!
Our 2013 visit is over, but we're already signed up for 2014!

Dear Bob,

Everything went great!! We all had a wonderful time. We were very lazy and just enjoyed the weather and beautiful view!!

Jamahome is truly a treasure. Very comfortable and inviting and the views are amazing. However, we all agree that the real treasure is Ms. Claudette and Ms. Pauline!! They spoiled us all week...we all feel so pampered!! Ms. Claudette prepared the most wonderful breakfasts and dinners each day which we devoured like little piggies...the house always smelled delicious,tempting us before the meals were even ready!! Ms. Pauline kept the home nice and tidy and always had fresh floral arrangements for us to enjoy. They are two of the nicest and sweetest people I have ever met. I consider them both good friends now!!

I can think of nothing that could be done to improve upon the experience one enjoys while at Jamahome. Keep on doing what you are doing and everyone will have a great time!!

We all hope to return in the future. We've sung the praises of Jamahome so much now, that our husbands will probably want to come next time!!

Thank you very much for sharing your slice of paradise with us.


Sincerely,

Judy

First, you take in the full view of the ocean, and then you walk down to the beach and plunge into the
warm turquoise waves and either swim or just bob up and down in the gentle swells. Perfect! Or, if you like to snorkle, you can rent a boat to take you to the coral reefs that the colorful fish like to swim in and around.
Back at Jamahome, the cook spoils you with delicious meals and her assistant keeps the house clean and your bed made. What more can you ask?
