This was our second year in a row vacationing at Bluefields Bay Villas and it was every bit as magical as the first time. This year we stayed in Hermitage for the week of Thanksgiving. The house was incredible; the views from every window are spectacular and quite frankly unparalleled! We brought our children (ages 18 years, 2 years and 10 months) and they all had a blast! We were there with friends and family staying in three of the other houses as well so it was quite a fun time for us. We visited the primary school that Bluefields Bay Villa’s support and brought them some supplies they needed, after getting a list from the office of Bluefields weeks before our departure. It was great for the all the kids (there were other children in our group at other houses) to visit and bring the children supplies. It was a great lesson in being Thankful and sharing with others. The staff went above and beyond in every way. They were so sweet to our kids and the two little ones loved their nannies (included in the price of the vacation, how awesome is that)! Our oldest brought a friend and they enjoyed kayaking all over the place, snorkeling at the reefs just in front of our villa, and hanging out at the beach or pool. All the water activities were included as well and the teens took full advantage of that. The meals were delicious and the cooks were awesome at meeting our crazy dietary restrictions (vegans). It was paradise and we were so sad to leave. We look forward to our next visit. In fact our 2 year old continually asks us about when we are going back to JAMAICA!!! The entire vacation was tailored to us and I could not think of a thing I would change, it really was perfect!

It was my first trip to Jamaica but what a great way to be introduced to this beautiful island. Bluefields Bay Villas were heaven on earth because the location and staff were simply amazing. When you first arrive at the airport you can feel a bit flustered with all the taxi cab drivers but I quickly caught site of 1 our 3 fabulous drivers for the week. Neville had the biggest smile on his face and you knew from that moment you were going to have a great week. All 3 drivers Neville, Maurice and Percy were very friendly, informative and helpful at any given moment.

When you arrive at the villas the setting is absolutely breath taking because they are located in the beautiful Westmoreland Area (which is a great country side). I stayed at the Hermitage with friends and the staff great you like you are the most important person in the world. We arrived around dinner time and the table was set so artfully. Carmen gives you a great overview of all of the services and some helpful hints about how to survive your week (i.e. keeping the mosquitoes at bay). The rooms in our villa were amazing, spacious and very clean.

We ate 3 meals a day and were served drinks all day. Let me say this, Rose is AMAZING cook and if you stay at the Hermitage you are totally lucking out with great cooked food. Sharon, Marvin (who always knew what you needed at the moment), Keneil, Aldeen, Dwight, James (the Jerk King), Papito were just fabulous in their treatment and service. If you want to see what real customer service is you go to Bluefields Bay Villas!

The biggest highlight of my trip besides the beautiful scenery, food and trips were the massages! On the first morning Carmen introduced us to Nicholas. He mentioned that there were spa services we could choose from to make our great trip even better. I got a massage on the first full day of my vacation and let me tell you it was the BEST massage I have ever received, I even got another one on my second last day there. They say the lomi lomi massage in Hawaii is the best…I had the lomi lomi massage and it couldn’t even compete with Nicholas’s massage. I have 3 massage therapists in Toronto and even they don’t rank as good as him. I was completely boneless and stress free after he worked out all of the kinks. When you go to Bluefields please get a massage and request for Nicholas…you will not regret it! If I could steal him away from Jamaica I totally would…lol

All in all this place is an amazing stay and worth every penny you pay for it. I’m going back to Jamaica in the New Year for the simple fact that I had such a great first trip.

My now wife and I got married a Bluefields Bay Villas on November 17, 2011. We were joined for the week by 34 of our family and friends (ages 13 to 75). We used five villas, with the friends staying at Hermatage (including my wife and I) and the bulk of her family at San Michelle. I can not say enough good things about these villas, the owners and the staff. The experience when way beyond my wildest expectaions, which was mainly due to the amazing staff. From the home made rum wedding cake passed down through our chiefs family to our headman keeping the groam (aka me) calm and collected for the wedding. They transformed San Michelle into a dream wedding location, which must have taken over a 1000 fresh flowers and amazing coordination! Each villa has it's own character and charm, even of us claiming ours was the best.

We absolutely loved our stay at the glorious Bluefield's Bay Villas! The beauty and serenity of the Jamaican sunsets and sunrises, against the panoramic display of luscious colorful flora and fauna, while basking in the dignity and elegance of the tastefully decorated villas is only surpassed by the heart and passion of your wonderful staff! Congratulations! ;)
