El Cielo

Definitely was welcoming and the location was perfect. The host was very accommodating

Wonderful host. They above and beyond to accommodate me. I will definitely refer friends and family members. I would definitely visit again. The meals were fabulous. I appreciate the attention to detail.

Distance from town but I enjoyed the serenity.

The room was spacious and they had plenty of towels. The pool was clean and area very secluded. The shower was refreshing with good pressure. Hostess was very nice. AC in room was excellent. The balcony was small but adequate and gave us some great views.

Wish there had been a menu for breakfast or some fruit offered. Everything was fried or had fish in it. I can't eat fried foods and my husband doesn't care for fish. We felt awful that the hostess made us food that we didn't eat.

It’s very beautiful

The beauty of the property, overlooking the city lights at night, is an absolutely treasure, I couldn’t have asked for better scenery express!! The vintage and rustic furniture made you feel like you stepped back into Victorian time, I absolutely loved everything about it!! I was taken aback every time I stepped into the living area. The owners Mr. P and Ms. Joyce were the most genuine, amazing hostesses I could have asked for, they always made me laugh, sharing some their life experiences, they made me feel at home, and they were very accommodating to my request.

It was very quiet, at times I felt like it was just me experiencing this stay, but I guess that is just first time jitters, from staying in a new place. I would recommend renting a vehicle , if you want to visit any of the historic buildings and beaches, as tourists or factor in tours before booking your stay.

I am going to start this by saying that Peter and Joy are amazing host and such lovely people. The home felt like a family home from another era with amazing wood work, high ceilings, large rooms and Arts work downstairs. I felt like I was in a movie. Joys breakfast was divine, expectational, healthy and very Jamaican every morning. She took in account my dietary requirements and even cooke due a different meal when she had other quest during my stay. I felt well looked after and cared for. The house is located very close the Hellshire beach although I didn't visit as I have been there several times. I was there during the hurricane and I felt very safe.

Although it was clean I am quite OCD and felt that the property could have done with a deep cleans as the rugs are beautiful but looked very worn. There was also dust found under some furniture when I laid on the floor to stretch or workout. The property is also in need of a generator for when the power goes although Peter and joy was very accommodating and had ways around it a working generator is advised That and I card machine at the property to make payment more efficient.

Joy and Peter treated me like royalty, they went above and beyond to try to make my stay comfortable and to meet my needs. I travel alone so it is important to feel safe and I felt very safe and protected with them. Joy is a great chef and the meals were delicious. Peter is former military, as am I so it was fun to share those memories. It was a short stay but I felt like they are family and I miss them, I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon!

Can't think of anything.

The food was amazing, big up to joy for all of her beautiful breakfast she is a great cook. The view is great, a quiet place to relax and chill will be going back for sure. Would recommend to anyone

I just want to say thanks to Joy and Peter for their services and accommodations. It felt like we were staying with family. They are very warm and welcoming and am really glad we chose this place. Also great location close to the beach.

The room was spacious and clean and the hosts were very nice. The breakfast was great and abundant.

Peter and Joy were amazing hosts, introducing us to all things Jamaican from their tranquil hilltop haven. Peter took us to the local mall and Fort Clarence beach (10 minutes away and had a small entry fee but felt very safe and lifeguarded) while Joy served up incredible breakfasts of ackee and saltfish, callaloo, fish fritters, omelettes and bagels. We never had the same thing twice for breakfast in our 10-night stay. We had the largest bedroom and bathroom we have ever stayed in with views to both the sea and the mountains. The pool was fab with a proper deep end! The nearest eating places at night are 15 minutes drive away in Portmore. I would recommend hiring a car, which we did, if you are going to venture further afield. We did day trips to Port Royal (1hr drive); the blue mountains (with Jamaica Cultural Tours of Kingston who were great); the Bob Marley museum in Kingston (on his birthday and 40 mins drive) and Dunns River falls at Ocho Rios (1hr drive). Really enjoyed our chats with Peter and Joy about their life adventures which they readily shared. If you want to get off the beaten tourist track and have a more authentic Jamaican experience then El Cielo is perfect.

This place is beautiful and very comfortable, my family and i enjoyed every moment of it. Breakfast was amazing 😊 i would definitely go back there again to stay.

My family enjoys the area and setting communication with the host was great being there was like being at home with your mom and dad feeling. My prayer for your home for the favor you have shown my family in those past few days, being around with you and family. Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign LORD, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.” 2 Samuel 7:28-29 

We love this house. Mrs Joy and Mr Peter made us feel right at home. Mrs Joy was very gracious and kind. The house was beautifully decorated and filled with lovely timeless pieces of furniture. I love my room which came with a hot tub. And the beds were so comfortable. The pool was perfectly chilled for the hot Jamaica weather. We had full access to the kitchen which was loaded with supplies.We felt very safe and are already planning our next visit. Perfect spot for our wedding.

We wish we had more time to explore the beach and areas.

It was exceptional, very tasty and well prepared.

Breakfast was excellent...my husband and I really enjoyed it and BIG UP to her servers, they always have a smile on their face. Big up to Ms Joy who made our stayed their very comfortable and pleasant...love our chats! Definitely will be staying their again.

The host and staff made you feel so welcome. The breakfast was great. The place is beautiful and I loved the pool. So close to the beach. I enjoy that as well.

I didn’t want to leave.

Everything was so homely and welcoming

There was nothing to dislike about the home

The owners were so welcoming and accommodating to all my needs. The Wife, Joy she prepared breakfast for me although it was not necessary as I was leaving so early in the morning 7am and I appreciate her so much for that...GOOD CHEF.. Everything was great and I will definitely be back..

Everything was great ...although the tv wasn't working and the owner tried to fix it but otherwise no biggy

good future

Great Home, as in what you read about in Great English Literature. We felt as though we were Duke and Duchess surveying out Jamaican Properties. The furniture is amazing, hand carved and highly polished

I have “No dislikes”.

It’s a beautiful castle. The property is very spacious, immaculately kept with breathtaking views

nothing at all

beautiful place

location/ communication..

The large room, the pool, the food, the facilities, the inhouse driver, all is VIP about this place. Luxury accommodation, really. A place we recommend, if you want to stay in Portmore. Fort Clarence beach is a must. Thank you for making us feel welcome, in this home away from home.

Peter and Joy who run the place are marvellous. As is Troy who works for them and Mitzy, the cab driver too. Wonderful people! Big love to you all. Best Jamaican breakfasts and you can get dinner if you order early enough. Wonderful beds and such a great view from our balcony.We were there for a family funeral and were close to Spanish Town and the chapel. It 's also really near the coast and Hellshire Beach - grear froed fish and lobster! Mitzy was on hand to drive us wherever we needed to go. My cousin and had a heavenly stayat El Cielo! We will definitely return

We loved it all!

The host was pleasant, especially the lady...

Not much access to the kitchen. Building work being undertaken

Scenery was great and our breakfast every morning was wonderful Mr and Mrs Jarret tried to be great host .our jelly from there tree was great and appreciated.

The 1st 3days the hot tub didn't work and our room was very dusty neither did the TV channels but the jarrets quickly moved us to another room wasn't as spacious but we made it work. But that room also had its issues there were nights we came home and no hot water.

Exquisite!

The Wifi services needs improvement

The host Mr and Mrs Jarrett were very hospital

I liked everything about this property

Rooms are spacious. Beds are large. Nice balcony. The A/C is good. Mini fridge in the room. Tall ceilings. Plenty of closet space. The hosts are helpful with transportation. Food and water provided and special diets are offered such as vegetarian or vegan. Laundry service available. Towels and a sun chair by the pool available.

Unreliable WIFI. Not clean. My room wasn't cleaned for 5 days even though I requested it cleaned. I had to wait for specific days for housekeeping to arrive on the permises to do proper cleaning of the room. The lady on the premises is a senior so she is often tired and complains about it so I felt guilty asking her to have my room cleaned. The pool is often very dirty and not always available because there are many parties, music video filming and photoshoot events hosted at this house, almost daily. The pool was important for me so unable to use it due to dirty water and it being occupied was disappointing. The hosts and housekeeping were very nosey and rude about my private life and often had unwelcomed comments and questions about my body shape, skintone, race, sex life, and romantic life. They wanted to hook me up with some guys. This made me very uncomfortable as a single woman. I told them I rather not discuss my private life but to no avail. Although the food is tasty and provided generously, I often felt sick after eating it. Not sure why. All of my laundry significantly faded in color after being washed and dried. The hosts often complain about their electricity bill and scolds me for keeping the AC running or using the lights when I need it and dictate when to keep it on or off. There are fruit trees but they are in bad condition due to lack of proper care and lots of abuse. I ate a lime from one and it made me very sick, I vomited. Not a very private place, many men and construction workers were often present around the pool. I felt uncomfortable as a woman. I mentioned it to the hosts but they dismissed me.
