Ideal house for our annual strategic meeting
Property is exactly as shown, large main house with small cottages for guests' intimacy. The infinity pool falling into the ocean is really stunning, the staff was attentive to our needs and expectations and the Chef is amazing! all meals were great. Overall a perfect stay, our only wish was to be able to stay longer...

Magical Stay
Beautiful location that’s better than the pictures. Lots of areas to hang out. Staff was friendly helpful and flexible. The best we’ve worked with. We loved how quiet and peaceful the location is and felt very safe at all times. The kids loved the pool, slide and trampoline along with the fabulous snorkeling. Only negative was no beach to walk along. But that wasn’t advertised. Very memorable New Year’s Eve trip. We loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay at Crystal Cove. The place is beautiful and designed so nice! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The place is located right in the city, there were many excursions to do. The staff were phenomenal!!! Although the property itself made our trip really fun, the staff being amazing topped it off.

Better than the Pictures
This property is amazing! We were a party of 10, 4 adults, 5 teen agers (15-17) an 8 year old and everyone love it. We had planned on doing several excursions but everyone loved the property so much we spent most of our time there, snorkeling, kayaking, sliding into the ocean, playing board games etc. The staff is very attentive and helpful, and the chef's cooking is wonderful. Can't wait for our next visit.

Best 21st Birthday EVER
I first want to say thank you to Jordan and the amazing staff at Crystal Cove. My gift to my sister for her 21st was this trip and there was nothing that could have made it better! Vincent’s amazing curry, Norma and Dian’s pleasant demeanors and helpfulness, and Richardo’s drinks made this trip everything I could’ve wanted for my sister and thensome! If you’re having second thoughts about booking, DONT! You’ll be missing an experience of a lifetime!

Inside the house, it has gorgeous bedrooms, exotic showers, living room, with a professional kitchen. Outside is where it's at.... look at the pictures!!! Imagine an amazing sound system with all of the outdoor living anyone could ask for. At night, enjoy the fire pit right on the ocean. I'm coming back!!!

A must stay!
The property is great for couples or families. The uniqueness of the rooms is a change from standard hotel rooms. The outdoor area allows for the privacy that makes you feel like your on an island by yourself. The staff was great! The chef and her team was outstanding. The housekeeper ensured that everything was tidy and clean. The maintenance guy was great with the upkeep of the property. Last but not least the property manager worked with us from the reservation until we were back home. Everyone was exceptional in their responsibilities. One con was the electric went off multiply times. The AC in one of the cottages was out all night from the outage. The should be addressed immediately.

Absolutely above Expectations
All that i can say is WOW! I knew from reading all the positive reviews that crystal cove was the perfect place for us to stay but once we arrived it really put things into perspective. This place blew us away and if i could give it a rating of 20 i would. Lol But in all seriousness this villa was perfect. From the cleanliness to the excellent staff, the views and the food, oh boy the food was my favorite! If you are looking for the perfect place to stay with a group of friends or family i highly recommend crystal cove. It's a 10 out of 10 for sure. I want to thank Jordan and the wonderful staff for the fantastic experience. We literally did have to lift a finger for anything. I cannot wait to go back next season. Thanks for everything Julian

If you are considering staying at this property…DO IT! My husband and I have now been to Jamaica 5 times and this was by far the best experience we’ve had. The property, the grounds, the house are not only immaculate but it’s also really fun. From our driver O’Neil who took care of 8 of us for 10 days, to the management, to the staff…5 star treatment! Miss Barbara and Miss Norma rocked it in the kitchen…Miss Diane made sure house was well taken care of and Ricardo constantly working to keep the grounds and the pool beautiful (he also made sure we had drinks in our hands) The staff made our trip an unforgettable memory..we would come back to this property for another amazing vacation in a heartbeat 💗

Amazing Birthday Weekend Celebration at Crystal Cove Villa!
I selected Crystal Cove Villa to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends. The villa truly lived up to our expectations. The property is well maintained. The scenery is spectacular! And staff are so welcome, fun and very sweet. They even sang me a birthday song and made me a birthday card! We ate very well during our stay because the chef is a great cook! We were all very comfortable in our rooms and spent a lot of our time at the villa exploring the water: kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the water trampoline. I even saw a stingray! It was not harmful at all. Jordan, the property manager was easily accessible and very understanding. The owner Arthur, heard that the ladies were craving coconut water and he brought us coconuts for breakfast!! I really enjoyed myself and I am so glad that I selected Crystal Cove Villa to host our group.

Beautiful Property, But With Issues
This property is aesthetically gorgeous, absolutely beautiful. There were a few issues. There was an electrical current in the pool that "grabbed" my daughters. We discovered this on our second day. Staff turned off the circuit breakers to the lights in the pool, but that did not stop the electricity. The electrician could not figure out how to fix the problem. That made me very suspicious about the wiring for the lights in the pool. This was an obviously serious safety concern. We didn't use it for the rest of our visit as the owner could not remedy this situation. Lots of bugs converge on the trees in the bathrooms. One shower wouldn't drain. The house was impeccably clean. It is a tropical location, so expect to see huge cockroaches in the bedrooms/bathrooms. The staff were outstanding, especially Ricardo - he provided expert assistance throughout. The head cook gave me receipts for every food purchase. The food was great. There is no table inside the house where we could sit down and eat at as a family. So be advised, bugs come to dinner with you outside. We were not allowed to secure the house when we left during the day, even though staff used an outside kitchen. No privacy during the day, always 3 to 5 staff going in and throughout the house. Not being able to use the pool for the remainder of our trip was a real downer and is unacceptable for the price we paid. Lovely property, but I'll pass next time.

Perfection in Paradise
If you are seeking vacation perfection in every possible way, you've found it! This was our fifth trip to Jamaica, and it was by far the best. Our daughter chose Crystal Cove Villa for her senior trip. The property is immaculate, but the staff really makes the place stellar. Joana is the consummate professional, managing every need and even the unexpected with aplomb and grace. She is also an exceptional tour planner, and her best suggestion was contracting Oneil Taylor for all our tour/transportation needs. His service was exceptional and was only outshined by his personality. Mrs. Barbara is an absolute force of nature in the kitchen and is also one of the kindest, most patient and most nurturing people. Christine and Norma were fantastic. Diane kept the house in perfect order. And, of course, Ricardo was always in motion keeping the grounds looking perfect…or creating an amazing cocktail. Crystal Cove Villa is above reproach. The villa was designed to showcase harmony between the indoor and outdoor worlds. Each room has a unique feel, from the restive quiet main floor front bedroom to the engaging over-water cottage and outdoor shower. Watching the sun set from the infinity pool was spectacular, and the ambiance created by the landscape lighting after sunset simply added to the magic. The slide, trampoline and private stairs into the ocean were group favorites. If you can book this villa, do it. Don't wait or second-guess. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty House but nothing works
I rented this villa going off the pictures and the overall rating it received however; my experience wasn’t what I expected. First, I didn’t have any correspondence with the owner until days prior to my trip even with booking over six months in advance. The owner reached out the day when if I decided to cancel my booking I would only receive half of my money or even no money. They were several things that didn’t work inside of the house including the main refrigerator and the living room air conditioning systems. One of the bedroom tv didn’t work and was infected with water bugs. When these concerns were brought up to the owner he stated and I will quote “ this is a third country”. The water pressure in some of the rooms was horrible. The best things about this house the gardener Ricardo and the house attendant Ms. D.... but besides that my guest and I tired to make the best out of a bad situation. But when your paying over 2,000 for the night better service and up keep should be guaranteed.

Beautiful villa, wonderful getaway
We just returned from a lovely couple’s getaway at Crystal Cove. We were a group of 5 couples, several of us celebrating our 20th wedding anniversaries. The villa is situated over crystal clear turquoise water where we swam and snorkeled during the day. The outdoor areas are well laid out and plentiful. We spent all day outside, enjoying the hot tub, swimming, playing games, reading and relaxing. The lanai over near the waterslide is especially cool and comfortable. There were a few hiccups regarding the hot tub not working, but the staff got it repaired as quickly as they could. There was also a misunderstanding regarding the cost of food, but Jordan was able to clear that up. Just be aware that groceries in Jamaica are more expensive than in the States, and it ran us about $250 per couple for food for a week ($1250 for 10 of us - but some of that expense was because of a gluten allergy, which is always more expensive). It’s actually not a bad price at all, but our initial expectations were for a lower amount, which led to us needing to accompany the chef to the grocery store for more food, and having to figure out money among us, neither of which any of us wanted to do while on vacation. It wound up not being that big of a deal, but I just wish we would have paid a lot more up front for groceries so that we wouldn’t have had to even think about it. All that aside, the staff was wonderful and took really great care of us. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have A/C in all of our rooms. All in all, it was an unforgettable week, and we are very grateful.

Oceanfront Relaxation
Booked this home about a year in advance for 11 adults - (couples/singles) - first the good stuff - you’re in a house but it feels more like a resort - there is a main house that has 3 bedrooms and then 3 separate houses - all of which have a private bathroom and cold A/C - it literally sits on the ocean so you can hop in and out very easily - the house has some cool amenities like a floating trampoline and water slide - in addition to that the house comes staffed with 4 key people - Chefs Tenisha & Norma, Housekeeper Diane and Grounds Man Delroy - these 4 truly add to the experience at Crystal Cove - food was always prepared and there was plenty of tasty options at each meal, rooms were cleaned very quickly and the outside pool/jacuzzi were also always tended to. Now the bad - leading up to the trip my point of communication was Jordan but when we got there, a lady named Lezell was my point of contact - upon arrival she wasn’t there - by the time she arrived, we’d already walked the property- as a house manager she should’ve been ther to greet us when we arrived - once she did arrive we asked questions about some of the functions of the house like the outside speakers, the light over the fire pit, things the house manager should know - instead of her saying let me find out, she deferred to “they don’t work” - it wasn’t until Delroy came to the house that the outside stuff worked as advertised- additional things came up throughout the stay, we would ask her questions but she would send us to the staff - so for our stay, she was of no use. The consistency of the hot water was an issue for all the rooms and hot tub - our last two nights the hot tub didn’t work - that was a bummer - I think everyone said their showers were either cold or lukewarm. The amount of money you need for food and transportation was much more than Jordan estimated - so for 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 4 dinners for 11 adults we spent $1600 USD - the house will provide you with a menu but we found it to be easier to give the chefs a budget, tell them your food allergies and then just allow them to cook for you - you’ll get authentic Jamaican cuisine! The house has a guy that provides transportation for them - from the airport it was about $40pp - trips in town ranged from $15-$30 per person, per trip - he was awesome and always on time but that is an additional place where you need lots of cash. Overall - the good far outweighed the bad - this property is a gem!

Lives up to expectations! Very picturesque, fantastic villa, and amazing staff!
Few things actually live up to expectations. This is one of those times it happened. The villa itself is tucked behind a couple of condominium complexes. The Asian influence is readily seen in the gates and architecture of the building. The concierge, Lisezle, the chef, Ms. Christie, the housekeeper, Diane, and the gardener, Sean, were all there to greet us once we arrived. Lisezle toured us around the villa showing us one impressive room after another. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom. My wife and I selected the master bedroom on the second floor of the main house because it had a veranda that overlooked the grape tree and ocean. The other couple we were with selected the Puss House. The Puss House is a standalone building with a bed suspended by ropes with a space in the floor where you can view the waves coming in on the rocks below. The bathroom attached to the Puss House is outdoors, so if you are uncomfortable with that, you can use the extra bathroom in the main house. The grounds are gorgeous by both day and night. The pool is a small L shaped pool with an infinity ledge. It is a single depth and easy to stand in. We spent many hours in the pool watching the local fisherman and the boats from the Sandal Ochi come and go. I enjoyed the slide into the ocean, but it is better to land in seated position as the water is somewhat shallow at the bottom. I would recommend water shoes in the ocean due to spots of sea grass where spiky creatures live. The villa comes with a standup paddleboard and several kayaks. I truly can’t say enough about Ms. Christie and her cooking. She tried very hard to make each meal special and tasty. I am an early riser and I would talk with her every morning and I got to know this lovely person quite a bit. Many reviews say that a person was like family by the end of the vacation, I can honestly say that about Ms. Christie. Lisezle handled all of the grocery purchases during our stay and coordinated the trips away from the villa. Diane was always pleasant and helpful. She handled turning on the waterfall in the pool or lighting the fire pit. During our stay, Jordan, came by to offer to coordinate sight-seeing trips or activities. It was a nice touch to have one of the family stop by to ensure that we were settled and being well attended. As our week wound down, we often spoke of returning as soon as possible. Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Paradise!
Just returned from a girls trip over Presidents’ Day weekend. The five of us had an amazing time at Crystal Cove. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous with every room having a different amazing feature or vibe. Some of the rooms were more rustic and some were hotel quality. We spent many lazy hours by the gorgeous infinity pool and relaxing around the fire pit. The only hiccup are some plumbing issues that have been mentioned In other reviews as well. One of the showers did not get warm or hot water at all during our entire stay. After the first two days the hot tub didn’t work which was quite disappointing. On the very last morning, before we were set to leave for the airport, three out of the five showers were not working at all. We were told that this was due to a main being shut off for repairs on the street. One other small hiccup was some cutting of corners with service by the house manager. Basically if we didn’t know to ask for some thing it wasn’t offered. For example there were no cushions on the very plentiful outdoor furniture on the property. We did find this strange but just assumed that they weren’t available. When the owner came by to see how our visit was going he was surprised when we mentioned that it would’ve been nice to have cushions. Surprised because he said there were cushions for all the seating. He called out to the house manager who explained that all of the cushions had “blown away in the breeze“. All of us, including the owner, were a bit suspicious of this explanation. There was also a speaker that was brought out for the first time on the very last night that we could connect our phones to for music. It would’ve been nice to have had this speaker from the very start. However, what made up for these short cuts in service was more than made up for by the unbelievable chef at Crystal Cove. Although she’s very serious she certainly takes her job seriously she is actually very sweet and kind and thoughtful.She is an extremely talented chef and made some absolutely spectacular meals for us. But besides that, she went above and beyond and because we loved her food so much she prepared extra homemade jerk marinade, jerk sauce and various other items and packed them in five individual packages for us to take home. Her food and thoughtfulness outshined any other issues that we may have had. All in all an absolutely amazing time. Thank you so much to Crystal Cove, we will definitely be back next year!

Absolute Paradise
This property is absolute perfection, where indoor luxury meets outdoor paradise. It's even more impressive than the pictures can capture. As beautiful as Jamaica is, we enjoyed the property so much that it was hard to leave it to explore the island. The staff was incredible - so warm and personable; they really added to our enjoyment of the trip. Joanna, the property manager, anticipated our every need, was so helpful in planning outings, and accommodated our every request (many of them last minute - sorry, Joanna!). Every recommendation she made was just perfect; I trusted her from beginning to end. Barbara, the chef, also deserves a special shout-out for her incredibly delicious food and for her sweet, nurturing nature. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and the staff; we can't wait to go back! (Things I wish I had known: 1) The bedrooms will get as icy cold as you want! Knowing that it was going to be incredibly hot and humid in July, I worried that the property's air conditioners would not get cold enough to provide a respite from the heat. But the air conditioners were definitely up to the task of keeping us cool. There's no air conditioning in the common areas because those spaces are really about indoor/outdoor living, but the bedrooms will get as cold as you need them to. We were told there was an option to make the indoor common area cool by closing all the doors to the outside and opening all the bedroom doors, but we really never wanted to leave the outdoor common areas, so we never tried it out. 2) I worried a little that it might feel awkward having staff around the house all day, but it was truly wonderful having them there. They were the loveliest people and also unobtrusive; and of course, they made our vacation so much better by doing all the work and letting us focus on fun and relaxation. I'm really going to miss them on my next vacation! 3) Bring a lot of cash. Your house staff will need it for grocery shopping and paying fresh fruit/fish vendors, and you'll need it for tips when you go out and for the staff at the end. You'll save yourself several trips to the ATM, which are hard to get to and not always reliable.)

This property is simply fabulous. The decor is unmatched, and the amenities are unbelievable. The staff were courteous and demonstrated excellence in all of the services they offered. The chef is exceptional and created authentic Jamaican dishes that were delicious. Our family had the time of our lives and will definitely return!
