Villa Contenta 8-Butler Service, Pool, Luxury Mansion Featured

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.
