We began our two-week Jamaican honeymoon at the Emerald View Resort in Greenwood. Later, we moved to Couples Swept Away in Negril. The resorts, while vastly different, gave us contrasting but equally enjoyable views of this wonderful, beautiful country and its kind and gregarious people. We arrived Dec. 8 in the early evening. It's about a 20 minute drive from... more

First impression are important...HOWEVER the staff went way beyond to overturn that 1st. From the top (Jennifer) to the bottom (the children) did WHATEVER to accodate each of us; to include playing music for the guest. Peggy who seems to be the catch all always had a smile and a willing spirit to assist. Duran (DRIVER) took us places we... more

Villa is 12km from the airport and beach, and on the hill, it is no way to walk somewhere, you need to have rent car, because the drivers takes $25 for one way!!! It is not much to do in Mo Bay if you do not take any trips!!! All food is very spicy and hot, portions a not big... more

its a 20min drive outside of MoBay on the main highway.. then the drive up from Greenwood to Emerald View is like driving in the out back!! on arrival the manager appears friendly but they only want to take as much $$ as they can from you ...re charging you $1800ja into town!! when if you walk down to the... more

So it's a lil off the beaten path and I had to wonder where we were going...but ahhh, well worth it, an absolute suprise! Jennifer's villa and the wonderful children were just great! I wanted to get away, think, relax and I couldn't have picked a better place...scenic, quiet, private, up a winding road to this delight! The staff will... more

For those who want a taste of Jamaican life, beauty and food, Emerald View Villa is the place to go! Admittedly, it’s off the beaten track—some 10 miles from Montego Bay’s Hip Strip and far from the big beaches—but well worth the available car service to and from major attractions, many of them planned by the villa staff. The views... more

Okay well when we arrived, one of the staff showed us a couple of rooms and told us to decide which one we wanted. My husband was a little skeptical of both because the bed didn't feel too sturdy and he is all of more than 300 pounds. So we chose one and went to eat at the fish hut... more

AAAAA++++++++++++++ We couldn't have asked for a better stay than the Emerald View. We were able to experience the REAL Jamaica...as the hotel is located on a hilltop in a quiet neighborhood. The hotel itself seems like it was a mansion converted into a bed and breakfast, and was very comfortable to stay in. The ladies working there were always... more

When we first arrived at the Emerald Views Villa I was a bit sceptical because we did not see guest there. That quickly changed the following day when we met four couples. The Villa is beautiful and is perfect for anyone who is trying to get a great island experience but also relax during the evenings. The villa has a... more
