There are so many wonderful things to stay about my experience at Mango Hill. I booked this trip for my 30th birthday and right from when I reached out to when we were preparing to leave I had the most amazing communication with Lisa. She shared recommendations for meals, activities, responded to questions and made me feel completely taken care of with the ease of planning. The team of staff here, Mr Donovan, Ms Ingrid, Ms Maureen—were absolutely amazing. The food we had was delicious, the service was so attentive and full of care. The special surprises on my birthday and the warmth of the team was incredible. This was a truly luxurious and caring experience I could not have chosen a better place to spend my birthday. The villa is incredible!!! The photos honestly do not even do it justice, the grounds are so spacious. There are not enough characters for me to write a proper review of everything that was so amazing here. All I can say is book!! And I will be back every year.

Hi Lisa, We wanted to thank you again for the Mango Hill recommendation. Reflecting on our vacation as well as our  first trip to Jamaica we would definitely come back.   Maria and I especially wanted to let you know that Donovan, Ingrid and Maureen were excellent, attentive and went out their way to make certain we had a comfortable stay - we will recommend Mango Hill to our friends! Thanks again and will stay in touch, Patrick

I wanted to let you know that we had an incredible time at Mango Hill - thank you so much for finding it for us! The property was stunning. Beautiful designed and everything you could ever need was in the house. The outdoor gardens were like being in paradise - so beautifully landscaped with a great (but slightly chilly) pool. The staff of the house were so welcoming and became a part of our family that week. My 4yr old won't stop talking about Donavan and my 8yr old wants to compare my cooking to Ingrid's all the time now. Devon, the driver you arranged was also fantastic. We felt very safe driving with him and you could tell he was very careful and attentive on the roads. I did event planning for many years, and really appreciate the thought that go into all the small details and Mango Hill for sure did that! From cold water bottles by our beds at night, a basket of sports equipment, stocked mini fridge and coffee table, board games, magazines and books. bug repellent and after-sun care in the bathroom. I really could go on and on!

Dear Lisa, I just want to tell you that we had a fabulous time at Mango Hill. The house and property are absolutely gorgeous. The owner has attended to every detail of the house in such a meticulous and tasteful way. The house staff was so friendly and attentive to everyone’s needs. Ingrid turned out lovely meals and Donovan served them like we were in a 5-star hotel. We loved the beach. It was never crowded and very peaceful. We are thinking about returning next year. Our driver Devon was also great. He was friendly, always on time, and a very safe driver. Thank you for suggesting this place to my daughter, Melissa. You were also wonderful to work with. I am so impressed by how responsive you are to calls and emails. You must be working all the time! Thank you again! The extra guest Ritika also had a great time! She is so grateful to you and the owner for allowing her to stay at the house. You may hear from us very soon about another reservation for next year! Sincerely, Merlyn

Villa Contenta Review Villa Contenta was amazing. The pictures do it no justice. The view was absolutely beautiful. The pool deck was perfect to hang out and enjoy the day. The rooms and bathrooms were stocked with what we needed. Ms. Marcia was so motherly. She did such a great job with the upkeep of our rooms. She ensured we had plenty of fresh towels and bathroom supplies. I would recommend her to anyone. Chase was so sweet and soft spoken. He kept the yard immaculate. He helped us pick flowers and even power washed the pool deck after my birthday party. Chef Chanel was superb. Her food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. She paid attention to the different allergies and food preferences. She was super helpful with the grocery shopping and came with me to help me find what was needed for meals. She was so nice. Reneece was so helpful to us and chef. She helped make sure meals were served at the appropriate times. She also assisted us in the grocery shopping which was very helpful. Gary was nothing short of amazing. He paid attention to all of the details. He was forever present. He always had a lovely set up for every meal. Gary did everything in his power to get us anything we needed, whether it was a piece of scotch tape, to activity recommendations. He truly went above and beyond for us. He was so involved in the production of the birthday party without hesitation. Towards the end of our trip he practically felt like family. Everyone is still speaking about him and how great he was. He was the icing on the cake for our experience at Villa Contenta. I know we will be back. Friends and family are already inquiring about Villa Contenta. You have all made this experience more than what I could’ve asked for and we are all very grateful.

"Villa Contenta is a beautiful building set in a lush and gorgeous garden with a spectacular view. It was very comfortable for our large group (14 ranging from 16-78). From the formal dining room to a covered open space, meals were varied, delicious and beautifully presented. There are spaces to play cards, construct large puzzles, watch sports or play pool. The Jamaican staff is the core of the experience. Led by Butler Gary (for whom no task is too challenging or detail too small) and Chef Deychannel, everyone was gracious and creative. They served a wide range of tasty cocktails and delicious food. Gardener Lloyd offered tours of the generous garden that included a gently sloping lawn (perfect for outdoor yoga) and kept the pool and gazebo areas in tip top shape. Housekeeper Marcia kept our rooms immaculate and mountains of fresh towels coming. "

It is a truly beautiful spot and was a real privilege to spend a week there. As you know, we had two toddlers with us. The cribs, high chairs and car seats were perfect and saved the young parents from bringing many things. The house is most suitable for adults and teenagers (who spent MANY hours perfecting their game of pool!). The deck

1. We have been to Jamaica/Montego Bay/Discovery Bay 4 times and stayed in 3 villas. The staff at Coral Cove remained constant and we loved them. We thought the cook was unparalleled until we came to Villa Contenta ate Deychanell's cooking. She had dishes for the babies (one of whom is allergic to fish), the vegetarian and teenagers (who are selective eaters) at every meal. She dealt cheerfully with parents who needed to prepare snacks, teenagers who slept in and special requests. She made a peanut porridge, a plantain porridge, oxtail, goat curry and jerk chicken that were lip smacking. The day that Marcia had off, she and Reneece also serviced our rooms.

2. Lloyd, the gardener, introduced himself and offered a tour of the garden. He is justifiably proud of the beauty that surrounds the villa and deeply knowledgeable about which plants can be grown elsewhere. He cleaned the outside area daily, finding random toys and organizing strewn bottles of sunscreen.

3. Marcia was sweet and an excellent cleaner. We had welcome bottles of water at our bedsides each night and a steady supply of fresh bath and beach towels.

4. Renecce cleaned as well. She also went to the long grocery trip run the first day, assisted with meal prep and service. The name tags helped; thank you.

5. Ray was the key to the high level of service. He viewed it as a team effort and involved everyone in a final thank you after dinner. He also called on team members to serve the penultimate key lime pie. From the first moment when he met us with rum punch, he was always there. He selected beautiful fresh flowers for the floral arrangements, donned bow ties and even a black satin vest for "fancy nights" and took great pride in answering our every question. He is a fabulous mixologist. The Brown Cow, made with coffee, cream, rum and some other ingredients, was spectacular. The Rose Hall beach was lovely and perfect for the babies. There was a bit of a glitch getting in the first day but Ray spoke to them on the phone and motored right through it. I found it hard to believe that he had not been running the villa for years. He and Deychannel are the lynchpins. They remained calm and cheerful throughout but cannot have gotten much sleep.

6. Deychannel is a creative and flexible chef. She served several alternatives at each meal. The vegetables were fresh and high quality. The meat was flavorful and tender. Desserts were beautifully presented and delicious.

We stayed at Kenyan sunset in February - 6 adults and 4 children. We were blown away as soon as we walked through the door. The view is gorgeous, and a lovely breeze sweeps through the house. One family of 4 stayed in the pool house and loved their time there. We used the main house which was immaculate and very comfortable. Chef produced three delicious meals a day and navigated fussy kids and allergies with ease. Steven the butler was brilliant - we were completely spoiled and wanted for nothing. Golf course was an unexpected benefit (we don't play). We made good use of the golf carts and kids loved exploring the course. It's also perfect for running (hills!) - one of the most beautiful runs ever. Thanks to all the staff for a brilliant stay.

We knew the house and the estate would be spectacular- and it was beyond magnificent. What we appreciated most was Laughing and kidding w Urel, Stephen, Rolando, Paransi- Nicola, all these folks were amazing to be with the entire time. We had so much fun learning as we shared stories- ate like royalty and did some sight seeing and picked coconuts and fresh oranges. What a wonderful team , what an amazing group of people under 1 roof. We truly felt like we were there all as family. Thank you for providing us a truly memorable experience.

My husband and I celebrated our milestone 50th birthdays in Jamaica and stayed at the Luxe Beach Grande 1 in Discovery Bay. We went for two years consecutively. We took two different sets of friends and family. Both groups were highly impressed with the villa and the exceptional service. Christina, the chef did not disappoint. Every meal was delicious, we never had a bad meal. Everyone was extremely helpful and catered to our needs. DJ, ASH, Cassandra, and Kemisha were wonderful. Our guests had the "best vacation ever". They all want to go back to Jamaica. I am so glad that we were able to show everyone a great time and show off my island. Our celebrations were epic and memorable. Thank you so much for such a great time.
