Thanks so much! Our stay was wonderful. We are already looking forward to returning.
Sherrie C.
I just wanted to take this time to say that my stay at Allamanda was awesome. The villa was impeccable and the staff was beyond the best. Michael is the best butler ever. Althea and Charmaine were so gracious and nice. Derval made the most amazing dishes with the assistance of Ms. Kerr. Kingsley even cut open a coconut for us so we could taste the juice and Jason was always there to make us feel safe at night. This was the absolute best vacation that I've had. I hated to leave. We had so much fun, the time flew by. We're already discussing another trip back.
Thanks again for your help in making this a Fabulous trip!

We had a wonderful experience at Allamanda in June for my mother's 60th birthday! The concierge staff with Villas by Linda Smith were great. They were friendly and ensured that I had everything set before the trip in terms of airport transfers, excursions, etc. Allamanda came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. In fact, the villa and the staff exceeded my expectations. The home is spacious, well-appointed, and perfectly laid out for families. The view from the veranda overlooking the pool is amazing. I loved all of the staff and enjoyed getting to know them during our time there. I absolutely LOVED Chef Gregory's culinary skills. I miss his food and our chats about recipes already. He and Mrs. Kerr accommodated all of our needs and my son's numerous food allergies. I never had to worry about whether or not the food was safe for him. Althea and Charmaine were very friendly and kept the home tidy and our laundry clean. I enjoyed talking to the gardner Kingsley. His sense of humor always made me laugh. Our night time manager Jason kept us secure. And last but not least, Michael was awesome and kept everything running like a well-oiled machine. Five days there wasn't enough; I hope to stay for at least a week next time! My kids are missing Allamanda already too. Thank you to everyone for such a memorable week for my mom.
Villa was lovely. I think the staff at Villas by Linda Smith provide excellent service and always respond quickly to my request and concerns.

We really enjoyed our trip to Montego Bay and especially the Allamanda Villa last week. It was spectacular! Derval the Chef and his staff were great hosts and made us feel like a million $'s!! Thanks for everything!

Dear Linda,
I will send you photos and videos following our amazing stay at Allamanda. You were correct in that we would love the villa and we certainly did! It was lovely in every way and terrific for our family, and Chef Derval...unbelievable!
As you know, he is confident and independent in his approach and, as such, you can be assured that his talents will please the most discerning. You will see some of our extraordinary meal photos soon. It was a very special culinary week for us, something that always makes our Jamaican experience extra special!
We’ll be back!

My girlfriends and I had a marvelous time in Montego Bay and a wonderful relaxing stay at Allamanda. The villa was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Other than going to the beach we left the villa only twice. Everything that we needed was right there and we had such a delightful time.
The staff!! Oh, my goodness. Michael took very good care of us and adhered to our every want and need. Ms. Karr, what an excellent chef! We all wanted to pack her in our suitcases and bring her home. The food was awesome and plentiful. The housekeeping staff was nothing short of amazing, Crystal, Pamela, Justin, and Kingsley. Our driver for the week was Jr. He made us feel very comfortable traveling outside of the villa. He also adhered to our every want and need.
Some, if not all, of us, will be traveling back to Montego Bay and staying at Allamanda again. Until then!!!!!!!

Wanted you to know that the week at Allamanda was the most perfect birthday celebration! Everything about our time there was wonderful. The villa's views are beautiful. The villa itself was very child friendly. My toddlers loved the open space and playground. There were even age-appropriate toys! The staff was incredible. Personable, professional. All did everything they could to meet our needs. The meals were delicious. When we sat around the dinner table the last night, asking what each person’s favorite meal was, everyone named a different dish! My favorite was the birthday cake Ms. Kerr made -- rum coconut. It was outstanding!!
My wish for this trip was for me to have time with my children and grandchildren, my grandchildren to have fun, and my children to relax. All were accomplished.
Please extend my appreciation to the villa owner and the incredible staff. Thank you both for all the assistance you provided as we prepared for the trip. Especially for your prompt response to my many questions.
If the rest of my birthday season is as wonderful as the month of January, it's going to be a fantastic 66th year!

Villa Allamanda was as awesome as promised. I loved the house, the staff (especially Michael the Butler, Mrs. Kerr the chef, and Rohan the driver. I feel like they are family. The home accommodated all 11 of us nicely (adults and children). We had the best vacation!
Littman party
A family of ten for a week on a tropical island. It was delightful. The house is spacious , light and airy. We were served memorable meals in a variety of settings. The housekeeper and laundress kept the house immaculate. The gardener helped me decorate for a wedding celebration on the lawn. It was charming. Jason was everywhere helping with such a lovely presence. Michael the Butler was on the job 24 hours a day with a smile and expert help. And Mrs Carr. made memorable meals with special attention to diet needs. Her rum toasted coconut cake was a showstopper. I will never forget the look on my grandson’s face when he tasted it. What a luxury it was for all of us to spend a week together in such a special home with the help of these people.
