Ocho Rios Almond Tree Villas

The Villa is very beautiful! It has a pool, bar, and very friendly staff. It's close enough to town and there are few spots that are walking distance to buy food and snacks. The location is okay but everything you need is a very short drive away. The staff is very friendly and everyone is available when needed. Minor setbacks include the lack of AC, poor indoor lighting in the common area at night, and the bugs. The latter is manageable (coming from someone who is terrified of bugs). I didn't feel comfortable walking around the house barefoot. Everything else was perfect. Anyone who wants an authentic Ochi experience should stay in these Villas.

I booked this villa because is was advertised as a bed & breakfast accommodation. Having book and paid in full, I received an email to say that the breakfast was only for guest leaving early. I spoke to a Gentleman who contacted me to let us know that the apartment that I had booked was already booked. so we were upgraded to a three bedrooms villa instead. Arrived at the airport our transport would only take us to part of the journey as the villa was off direct route to our destination. Staff from the villa came and collected us from another hotel. Beds in the villa were unmade, no gas in the cooker and no help from housekeeper. We left the villa the next morning and checked into another apartment paying another £600.00 for the rest of our stay, and a cost of £60.00 to transfer us there.

We had a great and wonderful time again and we will come back for sure. The rooms are clean, fresh, simple and have all the basics necessaries and a private terrace. The pool has sun access during the whole day and is a big bonus for lazy days as well as the access to the laundry machine. We have never come with a car as we don´t mind walking and you will reach the road to grab a cab from there within 15 min walking to the gas station or further. Nigel, Renee and Nicholai are stars, many thanks for all your help with anything at anytime - you guys are great! I love how the bar turned out and it was very convenient and useful for us more than once when the rum run out :).

This holiday rental is the best Ive stayed at in terms of value, decor, and service. I was in contact with the owner from booking to checking in. And the manager Nigel was so helpful and pleasant, professional yet attentive. I wish I was staying longer , to enjoy the calm, beautiful lush scenery and the swimming pool. I will definitely be staying at Pimento Villas (at Almond Tree) on my next Jamaican holiday.
