Villa La Rosa with Spectacular view of Ocho Rios

The location

- The biggest things is the ants problem they are everywhere and one evening we got back and the place was covered in flying ants yet we had no doors open. - No access to washing machine although it was advertised in the booking.com description and one of the main reasons I chose air BnB to stay in. I booked air BNB for home comforts as such and didn’t get that. I was travelling for over a month, which meant I had to move on to my next destination with dirty clothes. - Only 1 of the 3 AC remotes in the house works. This also goes for the TV remotes. (A friend had to buy new batteries for us) - the house is damp because of the smart AC units which left a damp smell. - No soap in the third room - Only 1 stained towel in third room - Shower on third room doesn’t work which meant I had to share my on-suite with my other guests. This was an inconvenience as every time the door opens the AC goes (SMART AC unit system is good in theory but not practical!) - AC goes off continuously in the front room after a few minutes despite doors being closed - AC in the front bedroom does not go off as it’s broken - The house in general is very dusty and not the cleanest. - I felt uncomfortable eating at the table sharing eating with ants at the dining table or even making food in the kitchen - Visitors policy. Terms are very black and white and not helpful. Very restrictive. I understand security and for the community. Also that you don’t want parties on your property and, however the whole essence of having and air BnB instead of a hotel, it’s to allow freedom and flexibility.ID’s were provided, yet I was still directed about curfew time restrictions for my guests/visitors and made to feel very uncomfortable.

The property was safe and quite ,the ambiance was good. It was comfortable , all rooms have it own bathroom plus a power room if hour in the living room. It have everything to use for your comfort like home. It have a community pool , gym ect.

Little issues here and there the first night but eventually got solved. Communication with host Stacey was good. Stacey was pleasant and try her best to make sure my issues were solved. Dominoes and other game board to use if you like playing games. Pool floater and ball for kids to use if you have kids and tennis equipment.

The property was very modern and clean. Each room had its own bathroom plus a half bath. Appliances were available for our use. Air conditioning was in each room including the living room. It was comfortable and overall a great experience.

The WiFi was not working for the entirety of our stay which hindered our use of the tvs in the room.

The property is in a good location and not far from ocho Rios centre by just a short drive. It has spacious bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The on site facilities such as pool and gym are an added bonus. The instructions in the property are helpful and the contact for the property was responsive.

We had an issue with no electric when we arrived but this was not the property’s fault but that of the JPS (the supplier). This was resolved quickly. Also issue with water resolved quickly after the host responded. A pipe has been turned off by accident.

The decor is exactly like the photos. the house is clean. lot of utensils pots and pans.My family and I had a wonderful time will definitely be back

Space is very clean and modern

I like everything about the property was very clean.

It was very comfortable,welcoming and at the right location. Close to all the tourist activities. Great security system and I love that it was a gated community. The staff/owner was very helpful and answered my every call/need.

Would've preferred if the villa also had its own private pool. That would've been a PLUS!!

My family love everything, the house was so beautiful, clean, relaxing and fully equipped with everything we wanted. We loved the pool and the view. My son loved the playground and even my other family members had to play with him on the swings and slide. Next time we hope to have a longer stay there.

The Property Manager Stacey was 30 minutes late and verbally abused my son calling him gay. We had paid for the accommodation but did not stay due to the abuse we received. We were not given access to the property. I had my family including our two grandchildren. One was only five years old. We were stranded in Ocho Rios and had to seek alternative emergency accommodation. We have not been given a refund

The Security Guard was rude and aggressive and the Property Manager verbally abused my son calling him gay

My overall experience exceeded expectations, the space was modern and well kept, I also like that there was an outdoor area for chilling. The host Stacy was amazing she is definitely one of the reasons why I would rebook, she is warm and inviting.

The air conditioner kept turning off and because the water heater's main source was from solar activities, we often times did not have a warm shower.

Our Family stayed at Villa la Rosa. We loved it so much. Good service from Joe and his staff. Thank you so much for making us feel at home far away from home. Next time we will stay here again.

I liked the house itself. It wasn't spic and span but it was clean. I liked how the houses weren't close together in the subdivision.

Very deceptive people. I didnt like the fact that they weren't organized and the entire ordeal was very stressful. First red flag was when I booked initially I had 5 ppl, well 2 opted out but the owner said he wouldn't change the price so the price was still for 5 ppl. I booked this in advance so by the time the trip came around I gained 2 ppl. The owner still charged me an additional 150 cash even though my initial booking was for 5 and that never changed on the booking website. Ref flag 2 The security didn't have our information even though I sent it to them multiple times. Red flag 3 I couldn't do my own laundry, they had to do it and it was a $60 charge. Red flag 4 the shower drains were backed up so water was filling the showers. Red flag 5 They left us 1 tissue per bathroom and no paper towel. I had to call Claudia for her to bring more. Red flag 6 when we checked out I asked Claudia if I need to stay to make sure everything was straight she said no. I asked what they charged for she said damages and towels. I said Im not worried about any of that because we didn't damage anything and no towels are missing. We even cleaned and swept so really there wasn't much for them to do. I was in for a rude awakening because per Claudia there was a towel missing smh. They charged me $20 for a $5 dollar towel. We doubled checked our bags and no towel dont know where the towel she claimed was missing went. Clearly they need the money because they're straight hustlers. It is what it is but wouldn't recommend to anyone and if you do book just be mindful of all the flags in this post.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality, making my family and I feel right at home. The villa itself is a hidden gem nestled amidst beautiful surroundings. The architecture and design effortlessly blend modern elegance. Every corner of the villa is thoughtfully curated, creating a serene and luxurious atmosphere that made me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds that ensured a restful night's sleep. Lastly, the attention to detail in the room decor truly showcased the owners' commitment to creating an inviting and stylish environment.

I liked everything.

Clean, modern

Too hot, tv didn’t work in the bedroom

Hair in the bed, on floor carpets in bedroom and shower. Soap in all the bathrooms empty. Almost all the batteries of AC and fan remotes empty. Shower switch broken.

The staff was very courteous,the property was very clean and quiet gorgeous views from the pool my family and I enjoyed being there.

The property was modern and had AC throughout. The beds were really comfy and rooms were very spacious. The pool and views were spectacular and my family loved it here.

nothing to really say we didn’t like. everything was really good.

The location is superb and the facilities are new and modern.

well maintained very clean and spacious

my only flaw was that I do wear makeup and it did touch pillow case and sheets I was charged for that. also my husband had done a tattoo and he used the towel to shower and it was soiled that was a surcharge also. so I’m just a bit annoyed that u are being penalized for linens and towels if there soiled these things are very cheap to replace we pay more than enough to stay here so that I felt like something that shouldn’t be apart of there check off list. other than that everything was exceptional

The house was very nice and the security was good also the pool was incredible, and the breakfast was good.

The host provided a number to a driver, which provided a safe trip …my kids enjoy the stay … beautiful… I will stay again when I travel back to Jamaica..

24-hour security gated community. Villa was very clean and stylish. The kitchen was properly equipped, and the rooms were of good size. The beds were comfortable, and the villa was fully air conditioned The community also has a pool, kids' playground, basketball area, and tennis area

The internet connection was poor. The signal throughout the villa was great. However, the internet service itself was poor. Also, there are no full mirrors
