Dreamtime 5-Beachfront, Butler, Chef, Driver, Modern Featured

Thank you so much for all you did to make this a magical week for me and my 10 lifelong girlfriends.  Every trip begins with the booking agent and Lisa YOU’RE the BEST! You were patient, responsive, and generous.  After experiencing this magical week with fabulous accommodations and TERRIFIC staff, Dreamtime goes to the top of the list for all of us providing relaxation and luxury!

I can’t say enough about how much we appreciate you and your calm, accommodating, helpful and creative style.  You are the epitome of GREAT customer service!  Everything was as we discussed and as was pictured with no BUTS! We’re so grateful!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience and would like to book 2025 in advance.

Meanwhile thank you again.  For your reading pleasure, I’ve provided a copy of the review I wrote on the website.  I mean every word of it!

POSTED: We are a group of 11 lifelong friends who enjoyed this Jamaican experience at Dreamtime with all the gusto & enthusiasm we could muster. The accommodations are even more lovely than pictured. The villa is decorated with style and class providing a treat for the eye wherever you look.  The layout was delightful inclusive of a GREAT infinity pool surrounded by chaise lounges that are PERFECTLY POSITIONED, providing sunshine throughout the day, Every bedroom has a wonderful view, the bedding is extremely comfortable, and the bathrooms are ideally appointed.  Our outdoor showers were such a treat. The secret sauce in this equation is the staff. What a terrific crew! Chef Chaniece is remarkable providing tasty treats 3 times a day inclusive of in-house baked goods and beautiful presentations!  The cleaning staff was on point every day, supplying fresh linens and careful attention to cleanliness & order.  Our butler Valentino was remarkable!  I’ve never experienced service like this while on vacation.  He anticipated our every desire and things we hadn’t even anticipated.  This was a rare treat especially when traveling with 11 strong girlfriend personalities who just wanted to have fun, relax and be gay. In addition to being kind, upbeat, and thoughtful individuals the staff presented us with unparalleled service.  The groundskeeper, Troy, was considerate &creative, adorning our lounge chairs each day with a special decorative treat &serving freshly picked coconuts.  A DREAM VACATION indeed!

This was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. It is no small feat to make a vacation with 6 adults and 7 children (ages 10 and under) “easy” and relaxing, but that is what we experienced at Dreamtime from the moment that we got there and were immediately greeted with warm hugs from the amazing staff. Valentino leads the charge by making everything run smoothly and the rest of the staff were equally amazing. Damian is hands-down the BEST driver on the island, and I know that we will never forget weaving through the mountains/forest while listening to him laughing/joking while saying “Yah Mon, it’s no problem” countless times. The staff were especially kind to our children, and truly made them feel at ease and at home. And a special shoutout to Christine for her many hours of hard work to braid the girls’ hair!! The food that chef prepared was absolutely delicious, and she was so accommodating to one of the guests whom has a gluten allergy. Overall, Dreamtime gave us memories that will last a lifetime and we cannot wait for our next trip to the island.

Hi Lisa!! I hope you’re well and please pardon the delay in reconnecting. We are overwhelmed by how positive our experience was. The views, food, excursions, and rooms were only eclipsed by the amazingly kind, professional and always-at-our-service staff at Dreamtime. We loved flipping through the construction book on the living room table and we can absolutely appreciate the time, care and attention that goes into making Dreamtime a dream come true. Dreamtime is home to some of the best service, best food, best views, and best experiences my 12 guests could have ever imagined. We don’t normally travel with this large of a group, nor to destinations this beautiful, nor with services like those at Dreamtime. We do however count our blessings we took the plunge and dove head first into luxury — to be gently landed into our wildest dreams with the best of the best. From the moment we arrived at the Airport, our driver Courtney made us feel at home in Jamaica. His courteous, knowledgeable and amazingly entertaining demeanor made us feel like we made the right choice in staying at Dreamtime. And as Damian took over for our remaining time – we we’re astounded by his knowledge, safe driving, and ability to take us everywhere we wanted to be. Upon arrival to Dreamtime we were greeting by the most magnificent staff and were led on a magnificent tour of our temporary, but tastefully lavish, accommodations. Valentino, our Butler and all-around renaissance man, was the most kind, generous, knowledgeable and professional team leader. No matter the request – Val has us covered, always. Chef Junior’s cuisine from the to-die-for french toast in the morning, traditional favorites like Akee and Salt Fish/Bammy/Festival and Escheivich Fish, or out-of-this-world dinner spreads fit for royalty were each as spectacular as the timing and his ability to shift timing on a dime. He is a champion of cuisine and a shining light that all in the service industry should emulate. Christina, your genuine care and attention to our guests before, during and at the conclusion of our stay was above-and-beyond. Each person felt truly appreciated by her attention to detail and gentle spirit. From tidying our rooms to keeping up with our group’s laundry – she and Susan were valiant and exacting in their perfect timing – taking care to make each room like new each and every day. Susan’s attention to detail in helping keep the house immaculate was unmatched, but truly her personality and kind spirit made her services truly show-stopping. We could tell that Susan is very much integral to any guests’ positive experience – she is phenomenal and we were so sad to part ways. Troy is very much the glue that keeps the house running in proper order. From keeping the landscaping pristine, to ensuring all foods and drinks were flowing at a luxurious rate. Troy was on-point every step of the way. His suggestions (and one warning about the lagoon’s current) were always delivered with a smile, and we knew that we were in good hands. 10/10 and we can’t wait to return! Best regards, DAVID MOSES

We arrived back in the USA yesterday! We could have stayed forever at Dreamtime! We had an absolutely fabulous vacation! Our ages ranged from 85 to 17! That’s a big span to please all! But the villa and the staff made it all happen! Everyone was super willing and catered to our every need! We all will write comments on your web site, as we know that helps a lot. To be honest even though I knew that the house was not part of a gated community, when we arrived I was a bit concerned…but that faded within the first day! I always felt safe and actually believe that we got more of an authentic feel of the island, not one customized for American tourists! It could not have been better! We all had massages, Valentino arranged for, and the company was terrific. They came 3 different days, giving us 2 girls and 4 massages per day! We went to Ocho Rios for the day going bobsledding, zip lining and onto The Blue Hole and that was really the hi-light of the trip! My brother had a problem with his eye and Courtney (the driver) took him to a local doctor. My brother is also a doctor and he was pleased. Some of us went scuba diving and said that was good. We went horseback riding as well, which was fun. The steel band we hired was great and a big hit to celebrate my moms 80th birthday Courtney the driver was excellent, when the kids wanted to go out and experience the nightlife, at 11 pm he was willing and took them to a local bar, and stayed with them the entire time, making their parents feel very comfortable 🙂 He even bought my mom a little gift for her birthday! Chef made an extra special dinner as well. My mom wanted to go to an art gallery and no one really could help her find one. A good reason to come back! The housekeepers were very pleasant and eager to please and do the laundry. They adored my parents bed with flowers on her birthday as well. These extra details made her feel so special! The photographer you recommended or your recommended photographer passed onto us, we so awesome! We even received the CD with all edited pictures before we left. I think that is so great and should be offered to all! As a wrap up,the 9 days at DREAMTIME were literally a dream and a vacation that we will all remember forever.
