Exceptional experience for my birthday celebration with my family and close friends. Priceless memories created of which everyone is still commenting on. The rooms were large, clean nicely decorated. The entire staff catered to our every need. The pool, hot tub and view were spectacular.

I enjoyed my time staying here. The house is beautiful and charming. You can really relax and be comfortable and at ease. Stacy you really are a super host. Thank you so much for all the extra help that you provided to me. Thank you for the chef services and helping me to set up the food and birthday decorations for Adrian. I will definitely be back to stay at Draxhall or another one of your properties. Hurricane Melissa caught us in Jamaica and you checked on us to make sure we were good and I appreciated that. Thank you, Thank you!!

Oh my gosh, my stay was excellent!!! I stayed at Areca Palms to sleep over and get ready for my wedding and my bridesmaids and I were welcomed into a beautifully decorated home. I loved the ambiance!!! Everything was to all our liking and even superseded our expectations. I’d recommend Areca Homes to any and everyone, you won’t be disappointed 💯

Fantastic apartment! Very spacious and very comfortable for 4 people (2 adults and 2 teenagers). It is very well equipped with everything you need. Excellent location, close to the supermarket and restaurants, and only a 10-minute walk to the beach. Although Ocho Rios is very safe, the apartment has private security, which gives you great peace of mind. I want to thank its owner, Stacy, for her kind treatment and for being so attentive at all times to make sure we had everything we needed. The pool is beautiful with great views. We felt very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

We had such an amazing stay! The place was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, and everything was just as described. But what truly made our experience special was the host. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming from the very beginning.Her communication and service were honestly the best we’ve experienced. She went above and beyond to help us when we needed it, and her kindness is something we will never forget. She made us feel genuinely cared for and went out of her way to make our stay special.We are so grateful for everything she did for us. She is truly one of the best hosts, and we would recommend her place to anyone without hesitation. We would absolutely stay here again! ❤️

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtfulness. It means the world to us. You were amazing yourself, genuinely lovely and appreciative. What more can a host ask for. You are welcome back anytime.

The home was nice and clean. Very modern and peaceful. Only thing is, it’s not as close to the beach as I thought you would need to have a ride to get to the beach.

Owner's reply
Thank you for staying with us. We’re so happy you found the property lovely and enjoyed your stay. We’re sorry the beach location did not meet your expectations; however, the listing does note that the beach is approximately 5 minutes away by car. We always encourage guests to review the location details prior to booking to ensure the property is the right fit for their stay. We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.
