Flower Hill

Dear Linda,

It is hard to know where to begin! The most amazing trip ever! I booked Flower Hill to celebrate my 50th birthday with 5 of my best girlfriends. I went in a day early to check out the house and get some things ready for their arrival. It was simply magical. The pictures don't even begin to do the place justice. The minute the gates opened it was like paradise! Every room, every appointment was perfect. When they built the Villa, they thought of everything. We were just blown away by the details - from the art to the furnishings to the craftsmanship of the wood frames of the doors and windows. The owners thought of absolutely everything!

We had some varied food requirements and Ardele was a master at accommodating everyone with the most amazing menu! I don't know how he did it, but everyone was always fully satisfied. The fruit was beyond compare and the soups were amazing! and Don't even get me started on the fried lobster!!! Pure heaven.

The entire team running that house is incredible: Damion, Romaine, Aaron, Tenesha, Gertrude, Jessian, Jeff, Trevor and Adrian. We never wanted for anything and they were there immediately if we had an issue (which were very few). Everyone was so sweet and treated my party as if we were family! Everyone left relaxed and happy and well rested. It was torture to leave. We will forever cherish our time there (and our departure selfie). Our goal is to get back there as soon as possible. Thank you for an amazing time. For your wonderful hospitality. For making this a trip I will never forget!

Oh, and for the most amazing driver, Odean!!! He took great care of us and we got to sample some local cuisine at his direction. And of course, the shopping!

It really was like having our own 5-star hotel. We even had a band one night. We had a wonderful stay; the staff was excellent and so attentive & knowledgeable. They took great care of us. It is a beautiful home with a gorgeous view.

I completed the survey and wanted to personally thank you for helping us with another AMAZING trip. We absolutely loved Flower Hill villa and found the staff there to be one of the friendliest and most capable we've experienced. The meals and service were just top notch! We've never repeated the same villa, as we like new experiences, but I would not be surprised to see us come back to Flower Hill. Our group will be getting together in the coming weeks and we'll decide if we put a hold on Flower Hill for Feb. 1 - 8, 2020 or consider a different, yet still amazing, villa. If Jamaica, we will always book through your agency.

Again, many thanks. Cheers!

Flower Hill villa exceeded our travel group’s expectations in every way. Sitting above the Half Moon golf course, the pool deck and upper patios offer beautiful panoramic views of the Atlantic. The attention to detail within the villa itself (the interior design, wall art, tables, chairs, statues, photos, etc.) truly sets Flower Hill apart from other high end Jamaican offerings. Having booked stays with Villas by Linda Smith in the past at Fortland’s Point, Makena and Whispering waters in Discovery Bay as well as at Canoe Cove near Ocho Rios, we did not think a villa could totally "wow" us, but Flower Hill did. Five of the bedrooms (and en-suites) fall into the “awesome” category with the sixth (a Murphy bed) falling into the “it works” classification. The flow and ambiance of the home just needs to be experienced . . . photos on the websites and my words don’t do it justice.

The villa’s extras, like free golf at White Witch and Cinnamon Hill and guest privileges at Half Moon Bay, including beach access and tennis court use, push the villa into “awesome” territory. O’Dean, our driver, made getting to the courses and to Half Moon very easy and fun. We enjoyed evenings in the game room playing shuffle board, table tennis and other games. Having a heated pool and a whirlpool was great. The villa’s massage room was put to use by most of our couples and many of us used the workout facility (great machines).

The real joy of the trip, however, was created by the staff at the villa. Damion, Romaine, Timoy and the housekeeping staff looked after all of our needs. Frozen cocktails were whipped up every day and cases and cases of Red Stripe brought out to those of us playing cards around the pool. Head Chef Ardele created culinary masterpieces, including Caribbean lobster, fresh Grouper, jerk chicken and a host of other truly top-class meals all served by Damion’s crew to perfection. The dinner table had amazing new centerpiece displays every day. The staff truly hit it out of the ballpark and take this villa from “great” to “incredibly awesome”.

For groups of couples or family reunions, Flower Hill represents the ultimate vacation destination. As the owners also have Villa Rosa, located adjacent to Flower Hill, weddings and large family reunions are possible. Our group, which has been making annual villa trips since 2003 had said we’d never come back to a villa we’d stayed at before (the “experience new locations” mantra). We’re going to break that rule and come back to Flower Hill. Booking with Villas by Linda Smith always makes our trips easy from pre-stocking food and drink to arranging transportation. We know with Villas by Linda Smith that the experience will exceed our high expectations.
