Great value, lovely and attentive staff!

A group of 15, and we had plenty of room! The property is beautiful. A 10-minute walk to a private beach where you can buy food and beverages, but the prices there are steep, and you are not supposed to bring in your own picnic. The villa is comfortable and spacious, though it could use some updating. The owner, manager, and staff were welcoming, attentive, and accommodating. A driver was available, and made some excellent recommendations for sites, restaurants, and bars. The villa is conveniently located to sites, and within walking distance to a fun bar.

Absolutely accommodating!

This was a unique birthday celebration and homecoming. My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed. Things to note: -Great, willing, & friendly staff to include superior security and transportation. -comfortable bedding, cool bedrooms, and very clean house overall. -bathrooms with jetted tubs in each room -each room with a balcony -the hospitality is amazing. Things to keep in mind: This is Jamaica (not the US). Some reviews are unfair in the expectations. Some things are out of the staff and owners control.

Fabulous Family Vacation

What a wonderful vacation!! Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Villa L'Horizon. Everyone had a wonderful experience ranging in age from 3 to 64. The property was well maintained and perfect for our family of 16 to relax and enjoy time together. The staff was exceptional and took care of our every need. The meals were a real treat and gave us a wonderful sample of Jamaican cuisine. We are so thankful we hired a driver for the week. It afforded us the opportunity to experience the Dunn's River Falls (a must for everyone), as well as shopping, zip-lining, and more. Our experience at Villa L'Horizon exceeded our expections. We truly experienced a week of no worries, no problems thanks to such a wonderful staff. From young to old we all wanted to extend our stay. Hopefully we will be able to return real soon.

Lovely property with a great outdoor area

Really just a fabulous place for our family vacation. The listing description/photos were accurate and the house was well maintained and very clean. What the reviews/site didn't do justice was the warmth and helpfulness of the staff. Everyone - from the driver who met us to the staff at the house - was focused and interested on making our stay the best experience possible. We really didn't have to worry about anything other than having a good time. They worked with us on meals and all the food they cooked was delicious. It was a real luxury to have someone else take care of all the cooking and cleaning. We had asked if they could help set up a photographer to take some family photos the staff quickly took care of all the details to make it happen. From a facilities perspective, it was great to have en-suites for each of the bedrooms so that the different folks in our party had their own space to manage - while still being able to take advantage of the open common areas. The pool and the grounds were lovely and the beach was a short walk away. The house/staff was also very kid-friendly which was important for our family group. I’d highly recommend L’Horizon and look forward to returning on a future vacation.

Jamaica Family Trip

The house in itself was more than adequate to accommodate all of my family. We arrived on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. Miss Colleen, our cook was just amazing. She always checked with me to see what we wanted for breakfast and dinner. She was an absolute wonder. We were there from July 16 - 18. Our initial check out date was the 21st, however we had to book at the Riu Resort for the rest of the nights. The electricity went out on Thursday around noon. No a/c and the house got very hot. Miss Kelly the manager assured us that the electricity would come on “shortly”. We decided to walk down to the beach area. It was wonderful, with a good breeze which we welcomed. We returned around 4:00pm and the electricity was still not on. I had messaged Barrington and advised him about the electricity. He stated that he was very sorry but that it would be on again “very shortly”. Since the WiFi was very spotty, his later response communication was never received by me. Evidently he had sent a message that he had booked another villa for us for that night and he assured me full power would be restored the next day. In the interim I decided to look for other accommodations since by that time the heat was overwhelming. Remember, I did not receive his message about the other villa. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know about the other villa until Omar, our driver, came to pick us up to take us to the Riu Resort that I had to book for 3 nights (which was their minimum). At that time Oma

Horrible stay! Don’t book here- have pic and videos- message me for proof

horrible stay!!!. Other positive reviews must be fake!!! House is large but run down, dirty and dusty. Air conditioning didn’t work in multiple rooms, toilets in two rooms didn’t flush, no hot water coming from sinks or shower in several bathrooms. There were cockroaches, huge spiders, colony of ants in bedrooms and kitchen drawers. The house obviously isn’t rented out often as there was no food at all in the house (not even water) upon arrival. Staff told us they had been hired 3 days prior — although I had booked for March, then rescheduled to June - and had sent a list of groceries and menu prior. Staff at the gate were unprofessional- shirtless and pants falling off upon arrival and throughout the day — fly unzipped. We specified that 3 of 7 members of our group only ate fish (no chicken or beef) however, we were served chicken on the first night. When we reported all of these matters of concern to the owner, things got much much worse. He accused me of lying and sent his house manager to check the house the following morning. She arrived at 7 am and barged into the room where two of my guests were staying waking them up in a very angry, hostile, aggressive manner. She spoke in a belligerent, taunting way stating multiple times “show me -show me” demanding to see the cockroaches and spiders. She wanted to enter the room where my daughter was sleeping - and close off all rooms not allowing us to get our massages. We had to rebook for another villa.

Villa of Paradise

Paradise is the best word to describe this wonderful villa. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the most caring staff who were one of the main reasons that our stay was so pleasurable!! They were completely attentive to all of our needs and willing to go above and beyond to exceed our expectations- even when we made minor changes to our plans. Kelly was our overall day to day house manager and she checked in frequently to make sure we were well taken care of. Dabbie and Stacy were sweet as ever and worked extremely hard to ensure that the villa was always beautifully maintained, Niko was so helpful in going to the market for us to pickup additional items and also helping us to operate the outdoor music which made our night time by the pool so fun. And Ansel, our Chef, prepared the most appetizing and healthy meals each day and made sure to accommodate requests for dietary restrictions. He also is an amazing singer and sang happy birthday for me which put the icing on the cake!!! The property itself was very accommodating for the 13 guests that’s joined me, and there was room for us all to totally enjoy our time. The rooms were well maintained and cleaned daily and we always had plenty of towels for the pool and beach. The only thing tat I would enhance would be the water temperature- not all of the rooms had warm temperature water which may have been a result of the number of people staying on the property. Overall I rate this property with 5 stars, and would recommend it to other travelers without a doubt!!!

The Most Relaxing Holiday You Could Imagine!!

It was a challenge searching for a villa for 7 couples. Let me save you time and tell you, your search is over as L'Horizon is an absolute gem. Barrington was very timely, accurate and accommodating in all communication. We were met at the airport by a driver and vehicle to fit as all. The home is extremely beautiful and the pictures were spot on. Upon arrival Miss Kelly gave us a tour of the home and we picked the bedrooms we wanted - all rooms are spacious, have a washroom, air conditioned and most have a balcony. The staff include a chef, 3 ladies for laundry and housekeeping, a bar tender, a pool boy, a gardener and a chaffer. They are all so nice and do a fabulous job. The house is spotless and the meals are great - giving you a taste of the Jamaican food. The pool area is exquisite - we spend many lazy afternoons there. The driver was able to take us anywhere we wanted to go and even made reservations for us. We spent a day at Mistic Mountian and one at the Blue Hole. We hired a message therapist who came to the house and set up on the upstairs balcony for the day - so so so relaxing. We were able to go to a grocery story for snacks, mix and alcohol. Barrington even called me on our arrival and departure dates to make sure all was well. I could go on but to sum it up: totally beats an all inclusive, very relaxing and private, incredible staff, trustworthy owner - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Only negative watch out for mosquito bites as we did not even realize they were biting us. Two people got over 250 bites and they swelled and itched - there may be a spray to prevent this so look into it.

FALSE Property Descriptions. Just to name a few things that did not work or missing: Cockroaches in several rooms Property is not maintained at all Pool was dirty and had algae all over Billiards Hall dirty and broken pool table and sticks TV's not working Some AC's broken No Hot Tub/Jacuzzi Safes did not work The owner/manager Barrington was horrible to deal with once I complained, initially he was very responsive and professional. Once I complained he called me and put the blame on me, he had the audacity to tell me I am racist and I don't like Black people and I brought cockroaches with me. Unwilling to do anything for the things that were not working and had excuses for everything. The staff was horrible, especially the so-called Manager, Nikisha. The staff went missing for days and would not show up for anything, of course, they showed up last day for tips. One highlight was the chef, Dave. Oh, also Jamaican. He was absolutely amazing and handled the house all by himself and was very gracious. If he wasn't there we would have not been able to survive the 4 days. The other person that saved the trip was amazing, Omar (also jamaican), the driver referred by Barrington. He was very professional and dedicated. He made the trip outside the house fun. I urge people to read this before booking as you will be very sorry if you book this villa. I don't know if the other reviews are bought or what but it sure does seem like it. I have pictures and videos to prove it.

Good Intent, Disappointing House

We arrived at the house and greeted by Nekisha and staff. There was no central air upon entering the home, only air conditioning in the bedrooms. The heat in the home was unbearable and made it hard to come out of your bedroom to mingle with everyone. Some of the TVs didn’t work and there was no running water in most of the bathrooms. I immediately sent a message to Barrington. He replied and stated that there was a burst pipe on the estate, mentioned low water pressure and air conditioners are only in the bedrooms. Everyday of our stay, we had no running water and no flushing toilets. Other issues were, mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets, tile flooring that buckled in one of the bedrooms(tiles were later replaced that evening), the bar area looked dilapidated and shingles need replacing, the pool and jacuzzi weren’t cleaned prior to our arrival nor during our stay, there were huge cockroaches in some of the bedrooms and bathrooms, the air conditioner in the master suite stopped working, the oven in the kitchen didn’t work. We used bottled water to cleanse at times because of the water issue. Every issue stated above, host was contacted and he did respond, but I felt that he was just “responding to the message” to appease us. Family members left to go stay at the RIU resort due to issues. Staff was great, but shouldn’t have to work with the conditions of the home. Running water shouldn’t be an issue. Host should depict accurate facts about home. Would not rebook.

L'HORIZON MOST DEFINITELY A JEWEL IN THE CARIBBEAN

I celebrated my 50th birthday with 18 of my friends in this Villa. 19 ladies all in the same house together for 7 days...no husbands, no kids, no work and no worries. WE HAD FUN! Talk about Luxury and pampering! I fell in love with the villa even before booking it and then after talking with the owner, Barrington (who has become my friend for life) everything just fell into place. Barrington assured me that his staff would cater to all our needs and YES, PAMPER US THEY DID! The manager, Miss Kelly, ..... Karen, Mama Rose, Stacie, Nikko, Stephen and the other ladies and gentlemen who worked there etc were all exceptional. Miss Kelly made sure everything (and i really mean everything!) was perfect and to our satisfaction everyday! Our food (tasted so so so good!) was prepared and served on time and always exceeded our expectations. The service was superb. Our rooms were cleaned and sheets changed everyday. By the time we left, everyone felt like family. They also very graciously accommodated different diet needs of our very large group. The Villa also has a driver, Omar, who picked us up from Mo Bay airport on arrival and dropped us off when we left. He also took us every and anywhere we wanted to go to during our 7 day stay. 19 women yapping away on the bus each trip (and believe me, it did get loud most of the time) Omar was very nice and accommodating all through. On one of the days, I had a birthday party celebration and for this we had an awesome chef - Oneal- who catered although this is not included, but the price was very reasonable and the food SUPERB! The villa also has a resident DJ with awesome music and you can also give him your playlist if you so desire. The usual amenities were fantastic too - pool, jacuzzi, rooms, bathrooms, were very clean and well maintained. And the Private beach OMG!!! was nice and quiet and relaxing and just a few minutes walk from the villa. The rooms are spacious and air conditioned (which is important) because we were there in the summer. We had a great time at the Villa. We could not have stayed anywhere better with all of us together like that. Some of us hadn't seen each other in years, you can imagine how we carried on.... I will definitely recommend this property to everyone I know and WILL BE BACK!!! WE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!

L'HORIZON- DEFINITELY A JEWEL IN THE CARIBBEAN!!!

I celebrated my 50th birthday at the Villa with 18 of my friends so there were 19 of us.19 ladies all in one place!!! We were in Ocho Rios for 7 days! The staff at the villa was phenomenal!!! I fell in love with the villa even before I booked it. And then after talking to the owner, Barrington (who has become my friend for life), everything just fell into place. Before we got to Jamaica, each time I called or had a concern or query, he always assured me that him and his staff would take care of all our needs and for me not to worry. AND THEY DID!!! They met and exceeded all our expectations. Barrington told me his staff is there to pamper us and PAMPER US THEY DID!!! This Villa is huge and has everything that it boasts of in the adverts.Talk about LUXURY and PAMPERING in every form. There is an attached driver and a bus to pick guests up from the airport when you arrive and take you back when you are leaving which was included in the price. Ocho Rios is about 1.5 hrs away from the Montego Bay airport. He is also available to take you places within Ocho Rios. The villa driver -Omar- was exceptional. There were 19 women yapping away in the bus on each trip and he was very accommodating! -And yes, it did get loud! The manager, Miss Kelly, .....

Yearly Vacation

Eight of us stayed for a week. The property was beautiful and the staff was awesome. Chef prepared wonderful meals and the property manager handled all our needs. We had amazing in-house massages. The manager and our driver handled everything. We had a few hiccups but our staff handled them professionally and always with a smile. The only disappointment was the description said there was a TV in every room. Out of eight bedrooms only one had a working tv. Our room had no tv at all. We would definitely rent again.

A fabulous and relaxing retreat.

Our stay at L'Horizon could not have been better. I brought 11 people down for a yoga retreat. We did yoga the morning by the pool, and in the afternoon on the upstairs balcony. The staff took fabulous care of us. The house is large and beautiful and very clean. Ansel, our chef, did an excellent job with our vegan meals. Miss Kelly, the house manager, was so very helpful in helping to arrange massages, our 2 excursions and transportation for our dinners out. She even went above and beyond going into Ocho Rios to help us make a dinner reservation when Miss T's phone was not working (great place for dinner). We also had dinner twice on the beach at Bamboo Blu which is a short walk away. The private association beach is a very short and easy walk. The beach is lovely, uncrowded and the water warm and the most beautiful shades of green and blue. We mostly just hung out by the pool and the beach in the afternoons. The owner was very responsive and checked in during our stay. I have only accolades for the house and the staff. I would highly recommend the property for groups or family reunions. Plenty of room for everyone to be together and have private space. Everyone in our group said this was a very relaxing vacation and all are retuning home relaxed and rejuvenated.

Perfection and Relaxation all in one

My husband, myself and my little 8 month daughter had such a wonderful peaceful but fun filled time in Jamaica and it was all because of this beauful villa, the perfect staff, the hotel manager, the delicious food and of course Barrington the owner. The pictures really do not give this place any justice! Everthing was cleaned to perfection, no task was too big or too small, staff were so friendly and kind to my little daughter.....even through her tantrum phases and offered any help that they could. We asked to visit town and was driven to best parts of ocho rios so we can see the life of town which was amazing. The pool was great and HUGE! The jacuzzi was very relaxing and being served lunch by pool was amazing! the private beach was so relaxing, some days it was just us the calm waves and the restaurant staff. The most memorable part of this stay was that we had an issue getting back as our flight had been cancelled. Barrington was so understanding and let us stay until our flight was ok to go. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay and your genorosity, im so glad my daughter's first trip was to L'Horizon Jamaica. You will definitely be seeing us again.

Beautiful house, great location, memorable stay

I stayed here last month for my wedding. The house is beautiful and spacious- so you can always find a corner to steal away for some peace if you’re travelling in a big group. The staff are amazing- genuinely kind and personable people. Puppy (the security guard) was amazing & never made us feel like we were putting him out, no matter what time we got back at night or how many times we were in & out (which was a lot :/) The rooms are flawless! I love that every room its own AC unit, en-suite bathroom, and balcony; and every bed its own mosquito net- so no matter which room you’re in, you don’t feel like you lucked out. The wireless was the best I’ve experienced in Jamaica (strong signal and fast) and I’ve been all over the island a few times. The owner and staff were really accommodating and organised a room for some of my guests to change in (which I don’t even remember asking for!) The bar has its own sound system, which of course creates an amazing vibe to simply sit and chill. I honestly enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it.

Wonderful staff, less than wonderful house

I’ll be honest, the house is in need up some updating and care. The hot tub didn’t work, the tennis court was in ruin, and hot water, well, the wasn’t really any. Also, the WIFI was spotty (which was a challenge since some of us had jobs we had to stay on call for). That being said, my guests and I did have a wonderful time! The biggest asset of the house: the staff! Each and everyone of the staff members brought something to the experience! The chef: Oh My Gosh!! So good. He served literally the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had in my life and, as a repeat visitor to Jamaica, I’ve had my fair share. I cannot speak more highly of the food! Then there’s the bartender: makes AWESOME drinks, plays great authentic Jamaican music and knows how to shake a leg. He and the staff even taught us a few moves to bring back to the States. The house staff were also very friendly and cheerful from sun up to sun down, and the grounds crew were fun to hang and chat with, and also joined in on our nightly dance parties on the beautifully maintained lawn . The staff honestly made the house! As mentioned, the house is in need of some serious TLC, but that’s not to say it wasn’t beautiful. The rooms were spotless and well appointed, it was roomy and nicely furnished. It was authentically Jamaican and in a lovely neighborhood. Would definitely recommend, just w some explaination and w proper expectations. Oh, and the “private beach” is only a tiny beach club about 10 mind away. The music is loud and lounge chairs pricey. Was a bit dissatisfied w this as well. Luckily the shuttle driver we had drove us to some better spots.

L'horizon A Gem in Mamme Bay, Ocho Rios

L'Horizon is situated on the beautiful Mamme Bay private estate. The rooms are really spacious and tastefully decorated with en-suite jacuzzi in each room and private balcony.Whether you like to socialise or just have your own private space there's plenty of that to be found around the villa. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and we'll kept with that gorgeous swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi attached. We especially enjoyed the poolside bar for all those cocktails as you lounge around. If you have the energy there's a tennis court and gym to work off the extra pounds those super delicious home cooked meals will put on you. The staff, managed by Miss Kelly who runs a tight ship, are lovely, welcoming, friendly and were always willing to go more than the extra mile.They were only happy when we were happy. Really good service is hard to find these days but you'll find it here. I went there with my parents. My mum is very fussy when it comes to eating but at almost every meal she left an empty plate, and the only reason there was food left on the plate was because our tummies couldn't hold anymore. They were extremely happy and rested. We soooo enjoyed the beautiful private white sandy beach which was a leisurely 5 minutes stroll away, with some wonderful seaside restaurants offering freshly caught seafood plus. We also took the 10 minutes drive to Ocho Rios town centre to experience the beautiful craft market, shopping and visiting the authentic outdoor market. There was also Dolphin Cove, the world famous Duns River falls and so much more closeby which we did't have enough time to experience. My only regret was that the time was so short at the villa but we left feeling we had had a well rested holiday. L'horizon gave us the experience of the rich holidaying in a private villa at a fraction of the price. Would I return? In a heart beat. A big thank you to all the staff team for making our stay such a memorable one. Thank you, thank you and see you soon. Paulette W West London UK

Horrible!

10 days we stayed there - group of 7. Took until the 9th day for us to have hot water. The owner emailed us that the staff would be provided - the day before we left, he said we were responsible for their pay. After tens of thousands to stay there, this guy is a piece of work and has A LOT of nerve to do that. And the gal he uses as the manager is another level....she lied to our faces and had the nerve to bring the Jamaica police the day we left thinking that was going to make us pay her! She said we couldn't tip the staff, that we had to give her the tip....hahaha. She did nothing for us to deserve THEIR money. The contract also included a driver - who charged us $250 just to go to the Bob Marley house. The whole ordeal was ridiculous and I would NEVER recommend anyone waste their money here.

Beautiful, relaxing clean with lovely staff

We spent 7 days at L’Horizon as we were getting married there. It is a beautiful villa set in a lovely location, but there were areas within the staff, that let them down. Although the staff was very friendly and very helpful they lacked initiative and sometimes required a little direction. Overall the Villa was lovely and it lived up to the images shown on the site. It was clean and tidy; the staff was approachable & well mannered. Mrs. Rose the cook, is a lovely lady and excellent cook she prepared some lovely homemade food; We enjoyed our 7-day stay there; it is at least 5-8 min walk from the beach, you can also gain access to the local restaurant. It was in an ideal location for our wedding guests as they stayed in the Riu, which shared the same beach as the villa and was next door to the villa, which is recommended if you are arranging a private function and have guests staying at the Riu. Barrington the owner was great, he has always responded promptly when we have communicated with him, and he ensured his upmost that we were happy, even once we had returned home. He is a great example of an excellent host. We would recommend the villa to others & would stay there again in the future.
