We rented one of the cottages with another couple for 6 nights starting in late January. From the moment we arrived everyone, Moganna, Richard, Donna, Cliff the bartender,Shakey the gardener, all made us feel so very very welcome. Mogonna is one of the happiest people I've ever met, it seems like the staff respects her and she helped us with whatever we needed. Including a fantastic massage in an oceanfront cave. Richard took happiness lessons from Moganna and was always ready and willing to take us (and pick up!) from wherever our Negril wanderings took us. He took us to the Hi-Lo one day, but the fruit selection wasn't very good so he took us to a little local fruit market. The cottage itself was quite nice the only thing I would say is if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs. The property itself is very quiet but the early morning birds start their song early.

Paradise in a little cottage that's all I can say. We only stayed for a couple of nights before new year before moving on after being bumped from the overbooked catcha fallin star (sister property in west end). From the moment we arrived until we left it was like being with friends everyone from Mogonna the manager ,the security guys, the cleaners, the groundsman , they are stop for a natter and to say hello. Such lovely friendly people. We stayed in number 3 and the cottage itself is nicely decorated and clean. The bathroom towel rail was a bit wobbly and the tap needed some TLC but they are not 'brand new' buidlings either so what you can expect a few niggles. We mentioned this and within 5 minutes they had fixupitgood !! Besides the cottages are set in the most beautiful grounds (its like a little jungle). The pool with the waterfall is very nice but cold and. Didn't fancy the hottub at any point so can't comment on that.
At night it can be a little noisy at the front of the property with the noise from the LTU pub across the road but after a day in the sun you will soon doze off. Everyone mentions the 'cave' and this is the 'villa sur mer crown! Pop down the stairs from the car park , walk under the road and emerge into a seaside cove of great beauty. We snorkelled here everyday for a morning swim but close to the coast there isn't a whole lot to see. I think that one would need to get a boat to somewhere a little off coast to see coral etc... Overall had a wonderful relaxed stay here and it was shame to leave....

i cannot begin to describe how happy i was by staying at this Villa. We went for a wedding and part of the party rented the seaside villa. The staff is amazing and really made our stay.

The villa is 6 rooms and 6 bathrooms and a shared kitchen, living room and pool area. This place is perfect for a group of friends who are going on vacation. Someone from our party went grocery shopping and we had a Chef cook for us when we wished.

Waking up to the smell of bacon will put anyone in a good mood. But when you arrive to the table, you see a platter of fresh fruit, banana pancakes, eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, toast. Their chef for the villa was amazing! I was always very happy with everything we ate. We had chicken curry one night and wow! I never thought something so yellow could taste so AMAZING! Plus, it was great the next day!

Richard is one of the workers, he was great! He would take us to the hi-low mall and would wait untill we were done shopping and bring us home. He brought us to many different resturants and would always come pick us up. He made getting around an unfarmiliar city very easy.

Magonna, well, she saved me from a jelly fish. We had all gone snorkling in the little cove (down a flight of stairs from the villa) and i got stung by a jelly fish. She came back and checked on me multiple times.

Cliff, was our bartender for the wedding, he would check up on us to see if we needed anything. He was very attentitve and friendly. He offered to take us on a tour, but with people leaving we just weren't able to.

Villa sur Mer, has an amazing staff and highly exceded any expectation i had. Waking up and opening the balcony doors to an amazing view... oh and the smell of bacon is probably my favorite part of the villa. The staff is great! I wish we could have stayed longer... This place is a place we will be returning to!!

oh, and they have security walk around the grounds and check on things day and night!

I arrived at VSM on Xmas Eve and stayed through New Years. It exceeded all of my expectations. The level of service is second to none. I have stayed at properties (hotels, and villas) all over the world and NONE can compare to my experience at VSM. Let me start off by saying that the grounds are beautiful and the villas are nicely appointed. Peter the owner was always available via email or by telephone regarding any questions I had prior to my arrival and I had many. However, it is the staff that make this property a cut above the rest. The grounds keeper Richard is the true gem of the property. His knowledge of the island, willingness to accommodate any request (no matter how small) and sheer infectious smile and personality made our trip special. Our housekeeper Carol was lovely and it is clear that Magonna runs a very professional operation in addition to being the sweetest person ever! I have been to Jamaica many times. I’ve stayed at the Half Moon, Grand Lido, Swept Away, Sandals and Tensing Pen. None of these places compare to this property. I will return to Jamaica again and again and VSM will be my 1st and only choice.

Pros: Staff, Location, Atmosphere
Cons: None
