Tamara and Jasmine are excellent hosts and fantastic cooks. They gave us authentic Jamaican dishes every day. Eating locally is expensive, especially if you want fish, but do try Julet’s fried chicken. The beach is long and thin with fine white sands and warm blue sea but be careful on the rocks and reefs. To get the most from the area be prepared to chat and join in with local life and experience the laid-back Jamaican hospitality. ##### Anna S.

Despite this, we were able to settle in nicely and begin to enjoy the surround. The drive Monroe is easily accessible and lovely. Both of the ladies who tended to us during our stay were incredibly nice and did a wonderful job. They truly enhanced our experience. The only thing I would emphasize is that the living area and kitchen can get quite warm, and you may want to bring your own beach towels and extra hand towels if you run out. Outside of those recommendations I could not add more- except, to say it is lovely and the locals are great. ##### Diana M. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin C.

The proximity to the gorgeous beach was so incredibly close it was hardly believable. Clear water and soft sand made up one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever enjoyed, certainly the best we visited in Jamacia, and it was hardly ever occupied . The villa was well appointed, and Tamara was an amazing chef! Our picky eater found a new favorite dish with her Brown Chicken Stew – it was sooo delicious! She was incredibly helpful and was always ready to give advice or assist with anything at the villa. ##### Erin C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharona D.

Tamara the housekeeper is exceptional, we were out a lot of the time but found her cooking was better than any restaurant we bought from. Veronica, the host was very welcoming (thank you for the welcome mangoes again which were appreciated). My granddaughter doesn’t understand why she had to leave, and the rest of the family already want to return. ##### Sharona D.

Kitchen was fully stocked. Tamara had shopped for us and there was plenty of fresh fruit and juice. We had probably the best fried chicken I ever ate for dinner along with equally great slaw & veggies. Our purpose was to relax and de-stress and we achieved that goal with ease. Internet was very good when we needed it. Veronica stopped by with a mango and friendly welcome. All in all it was a perfect spot to walk the beach, relax and be with friends. Would stay again without hesitation, Highly recommend. ##### Cindy b. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina J.

From the time Mr. Munroe picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off at the end of our vacation we had an amazing time! Mr. Munroe is a true gentleman and will take you wherever you want to go. Not once were we bored, so close to the beach, the lagoon is fun to explore in. Beautiful turquoise water.So picturesque !! The locals are so friendly. Just footsteps away on the beach there are 2 small bars, a restaurant and fresh coconuts ! I suggest finding local Dougie Fresh at the beach and have him take you to the Cave, very cool experience. And the best for last, Cassie !!! Cassie is an absolute sweetheart and the heart of the house! She made us feel like royalty , always tending to our needs. Her cooking is out of this world! Highly recommend her lobster curry. We are definitely coming back again next year!! ##### Christina J. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe G. Apr 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful & quiet getaway with great food! Staying at this villa was a great experience. It was airy, quiet and beautiful; a nice break from the touristy areas (this was our second time in Jamaica). Veronica was responsive and helpful with finding the villa. We rented a car and the GPS wasn't very clear with finding the right location, but once we arrived we knew we were in paradise! Most importantly, what made our stay at the Yellow Canary Villa amazing and what drove our high review is because of Tamara. We don't normally take the time to write a lengthy review, but Tamara's excellent customer service is hard to find and she deserves the utmost credit! She was extremely nice, respectful, trustworthy, thoughtful, and made the most wonderful food. There weren't a lot of places nearby to eat, but we were glad as we got to experience more of Tamara's wonderful cooking! Overall, we highly recommend staying at this villa and requesting to have Tamara. We will definitely be staying here again and telling our friends & family about the Yellow Canary Villa and Tamara! ##### Joe G. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### abby f. Nov 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This is REAL Jamaica-as long as you know that going in, you will absolutely love it here! The good: the property owner is very helpful & arranged on-time airport pickup + a stop at the market on the way to the villa. She even gave us phone nos. for the driver & housekeeper/chef so we could reach out directly. When the air wasn’t working in one bedroom, she tried to get it fixed ASAP. The drivers are timely, courteous & able to take us anywhere we wanted to go-any day or time. The beach is literally only 100 yards away-and it’s spectacular. The bad: you’re in the tropics-there WILL be biting insects galore. DEET is your friend. Bring LOTS of sunscreen & bug spray!!! The so-so: wear water shoes! Urchin colonies abound in the shallow rocks! There isn’t much to do at the Villa besides the beach, so you need a driver to do anything else (even dining out). Expect to spend $80-100 US just for driver service each day you use it plus any excursion costs. Groceries are pricey-ie: a case of water is about $9 & produce isn’t as large & fresh as we see in the States. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms. Clothes must line dry-plan accordingly. We never saw the advertised hot tub, but didn’t miss it. The best: Ms. Cassie. She’s part housekeeper, part world-class chef, part concierge & 100% instant family friend. She made the stay amazing! Hands-down the best meals we ate were made by Ms. Cassie. We miss her already! If you want a “resort” vacay, it’s not for you. But def book this Villa if you want to experience real beauty of Jamaica! ##### abby f.
