Emerald like a jewel
I stayed in the Emerald Estate with my brother back in August 2015. It was great. The property is clean and welcoming. The houskeeper had a meal waiting for us and the fridge had drinks to. Easy to find from the airport and I liked the safe feeling knowing the 24 hour security where there. The swimming pool is about 20 steps away from the apartment. It was great to have wifi and i just loved the water despener machine. The access to the back garden was good to hang out the washing. The houskeeper was helpful and very very friendly. I would recommend this villa and look forward to my next trip in the near future. Pandora of the UK

paradise
I spent an amazing ime at emeralds, this is my 2nd visit there and wil return again again , just love it there, the villa is the perfect place to stay and enjoy living like a local. The property is very clean and spacious, with a cosy intimate comfortable feel to it, fully equipped to accommodate all your needs, feels very much like home from home. Karen the house keeper is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome if you don't feel like cooking and want to try the real jamaica cooking Karen is more than happy to cook for you for a small fee nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Karen really appreciate your visits. Thete is plenty to do locally with several beaches close by. If you get board you can always take a 15min journey into ocho rios which is a lively town with plenty to do. I have recommended this villa to friends and family. The owner Jennifer is also available on the phone to answer to any questions. Thanks Jennifer keep up the good work.

Both Sharon and I enjoyed our holiday back In September 2014. A Villa I can call from home to home. The view looking over the sea from the balcony was beautiful. I would recommend my friends and family to stay and I'm also looking forward going back later in the year 2015.
