Patiently waiting in paradise

We go to Jamaica yearly for Reggae Month; this is the longest time I’ve stayed in Jamaica- an entire month. We normally stay in all-inclusive hotels, but this time we wanted to stay longer in a villa for a bit more privacy. Patiently waiting, the villa was everything. we expected and more. Chris, the manager, and Alvin, the owner, were the perfect hosts; we couldn't ask for any more, and the villa was perfect and great value for money.

Amazing Value - Top Notch Property

I’ve been coming to Jamacia for over ten years and my boyfriend is a native. We have stayed at many places on the island and “Waiting Patiently” is private, yet situated optimally. We always like to swim at the bottom of Dunn’s River Falls like the locals. In addition, the caretaker, Chris makes you feel like family and everything from the pool to bed linens and kitchen appliances are perfect for a laid back, relaxing vacation or get away. I’m very particular about the bed linens and blankets; lots of places in the same price range have low quality. Thank you so much! I highly suggest people visit - they received the 2018 award of excellence from Travel Advisor!

Beautiful getaway

Great location close to the beach with very well maintained beautiful gardens. We stayed in the studio apartment which is very spacious and had everything we needed to have a little home away from home. The caretaker Chris was there to help with anything we needed and the property manager Alvin was also there during our stay. He was welcoming and agreeable. We enjoyed eating fresh ackee from the trees on the property and spent some time refreshing ourselves in the pool. Only one small caveat, once a new group moved into “the big house” they refused to have anyone else use the communal pool as it is indicated on the site. I think they should learn to read and be aware that this is a shared pool amongst the multiple (5) rooms/apartments on the grounds. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.

Be careful the owner double books the Property

When we arrived at the property at 10pm there was no local number to contact the property manager. We drove up and found a gentleman outside who we discovered was the property manager. We asked him about our room and gound out the room had been booked and provided to someone else. I called the owner in the UK. He said the room was not double booked and was available. The property manager confirmed to us that he is not in charge of the booking and the owner double booked it. It was a nightmare. We tried booking another property but it was late. We eventually got another unit at the same property much smaller than the original one we booked. Plrase stay somewhere else the owner is exceptionally rude. The proprty mamager was pleasant and courteous.

Absolutely Perfect

Villa Patiently Waiting reminds me of a historic plantation house. It stretches across lush greenery, has crisp white walls and a bright red roof. Within this house are three rental apartments; our studio, the “Big House” (which would be amazing for a large family to use) and a two bedroom apartment. We had a fully functional kitchen, excellent internet service and a large television with a full line up of channels to view. Our studio was bright with light, pleasingly decorated and housed two very comfortable beds. The property was beautiful but the heart of our holiday were the people who took care of us. Thank you to Chris, who handled any of our requests from excursions to seafood; to O’Neil who tended the grounds and always had a smile and a wave and to Betty who tirelessly tended to the housekeeping. We were sad to say goodbye.

This was my third trip to Jamaica and I will definitely come back to “Patiently Waiting”. The entire staff is constantly working to make your stay a great experience and to keep the property clean. Thank you for everything Chris Ludford, your hospitality will definitely make me come back to this property 😁

I like The property because it is private, peaceful, hatred with security and clean. The street the property is location on is very quaint, and has an historic feel. The street is next to the Riu resort with tall palm trees, and large beautiful properties. The staff was also available no matter what time of the day, evening, or night, the will go above and behind for your comfort. Property manager Mr. Christopher is always professional and courteous. The property has a pool however just 5 mins walk around the corner there is a private beach with a restaurant that is available for your use, also we were give a card to take with us for a 15% discount at the restaurant on the private beach. Beach was clean staff is very friendly. The drain in the kitchen has an issue, it smells a bit but the property manager came right away to take care of our concerns and everything was back to normal. What I don’t like about the studio are the bedding very uncomfortable, creates lots of lints on your clothes not ok, the mattress and pillow protectors make you hot ( it’s like plastic), called the property manager about the issue he explained that the covers are in place to protect the mattress and pillows, however he changed all the bedding to our comfort. Overall I would stay at this studio again, because everything you needs is accessible in the area, we ate local, food was inexpensive, area felt save, amazing supermarket was just minutes walk down the street. Great staff and beaches.

Relaxing and refreshing

I really enjoyed my stay , it was exactly like the pictures on the website. The caretakers (Chris,O’neil, and Junior ) were great , very attentive. They treated me like family, felt very safe and at home. I plan to return soon and stay here again. Lots of things to do and they were very helpful. Junior was like our tour guide, he was great! O’Neill cooked food it was delicious, and Chris made sure I didn’t need anything. Great experience overall! Would recommend this place for my family.

Enjoyed my stay at Patiently Waiting, at Mammee Bay Estate, despite the presence of Riu.

The property is well kept, attention to detail was observed, caretaker was readily available and helpful, He is to be commended for having to "manage" so many apartments owned by one absentee-owner. This vacation was enjoyable despite the selfish and unprincipled "management" of the Mammee Beach by Riu Hotel, and despite the awful noise from the hotel being repaired, even on Sundays. This is not acceptable, does not encourage us to want to visit Riu Hotel.
