Good experience

The facility itself is beautiful and peaceful. The manager was pleasant and available. Despite not getting hot water initially and hot tub not set up on arrival, he explained how to set it up so that we could have it before we departed. Other than that, it’s a great facility for time with friends and family. One of the highlights is the amount of space it provides for eating and sitting inside and outside.

The hallways, living room, dining room and kitchen did not have air conditioners. The property manager and the owner were notified that we were not pleased as the place was advertised as having AC.

description misleading about the pool, it is shared with others rather than the property we rented, the property needs updating especially the kitchen and bathrooms no tea spoons was available, considering it sleeps up to 10 people, that was poor with the amount for the rental they collect they could more than afford to update it.

This villa does not disappoint. Great location. Perfect layout of interior. Bedding comfortable. Wifi throughout. And the staff, I cannot say enough about how sweet, attentive, kind, and caring regarding you happiness while occupying their wonderful villa. I would highly recommend having the Chef, Cleave, cook meals for you. He is great at cooking traditional Jamaican cuisine as well as educating you on the health benefits of a selection of fruits, vegetables and herbs found right there on the property. All in all my family had a fantastic time staying at Villa Patiently Waiting and will recommend this extraordinary property to friends and family.

It was a Great Location, 5 min walk to the beach. The beach is beautiful, with great snorkeling potential and has a very good restaurant. The villa was clean, the pool was great and Chris was really nice and helped wherever he could. Chris cooked lobster-dinner for us and it was beyond amazing. We had a rental car and the drive from the airport to the villa was easy. (Only drive the highway and take a left turn at the end, right before the RIU entrance is the Mammee bay estates) All you would need was a close ride with the car. Supermarket, Starbucks, kfc, Pizza Hut, gas station, atm- all within 5 minutes. Lots attractions in a 30 minute range. The area felt very safe to us. We enjoyed our stay at patiently waiting very much and we would definitely come back. We traveled with 3 adults and 4 kids.

Not as advertised.

I would NOT rent this villa again. It's ok if you need a place to rest your head, then venture out for the entire day, but that's about it. The decor and the comfort of the beds were the only things that I would consider satisfactory. Internet was down so we're had no connectivity, and the big TVs they advertise were of no use. I requested chef services. Prop Manager said he would do the cooking as the advertised chef wasn't there anymore. Advertised one price per day, he charged me a higher price for one meal, plus cost of ingredients. The hot tub (which was advertised as an amenity) had no water in it. The lamps in the master bedroom were either broken or not working correctly. The accordion door on the master bath was broken. One of the sinks was backed up. One of the showerheads was taped together. There were no face clothes or hand towels. They advertise for 16 persons dining however they do not have 16 place settings in the kitchen. The worst part, I felt like I was being stalked while I was there. Micro-managing guests is not ok when they paid to stay in your establishment and weren't doing anything unreasonable or unknown. I communicated the plans we had for our stay ahead of time. there was no reason for the constant check-ins, attitude, and scolding from the property manager. I understand that you have a job to do, but knowing my whereabouts at all times, making it seem as if I was supposed to check in with you when I left or came back, and scolding me because we arrived late and/or had people moving in and out (when it had already been communicated to you, and you were aware it would be happening) is uncalled for and unprofessional. like I said... if you want a place for a big group to just rest their heads and/or go for a dip in a pool, this is for you. If you'd like quality hospitality and a place to relax and enjoy accommodations, this is not the place for you.
