Lovely spot for a family vacation
We really enjoyed our week at Sweet Escape. The house was clean and spacious, beds were comfortable, and we loved the outdoor areas (pool, pergola, beach bed, and beach). Mark was absolutely fantastic! He made us delicious dinners and hearty breakfasts to start our day. We took care of the shopping, but he guided us at the grocery store and made recommendations. There were plenty of fun activities to do within a reasonable driving distance of the house (Black River Safari (5 min), Appleton Rum Estate (45 min), YS Falls (30 min), Pelican Bar (25 min boat ride from the house)). If you want a relaxing place away from the touristy resort areas, this is it!

Family vacation
The property was great for a family of 11. All enjoyed the pool area and the view of the sunset was amazing. Mark was amazing. He repeated delicious Jamaican meals and was very accommodating. He provided rides into town and arranged transportation to Negril for a day excursion.

Despite the intense storm that damaged a lot in the area, Sweet Escape was exactly that, a sweet escape. Mark, the chef, was great, the communication with Carla was great. We're coming back next year, please don't let anyone take my dates! Big up!

Great Holiday Visit
We came as a family of 9 total people, including two children ages 5 and 8. We could not have asked for a better location for our family Christmas trip. From communicating with Carla pretrip to our exit from the property, everything was perfect for our family. The house is even better than the pictures show, it is large, well cleaned, bedrooms are large and the air conditioning works well throughout the house no matter how hot it may be outside. The outside area is where we spent the majority of our vacation choosing between hanging around the pool in the provided chairs, sitting under the pergola when a sun break was needed or just playing in the pool. We also spent a couple of days in the ocean playing out front of the house. Can't say enough good things about Mark, the house chef and do it all helper. Just let him know ideas of what you are after and let him do the rest. By the end of the trip we had people watching him cook to try and figure out how he made even simple dishes taste great. Everyone looked forward to what he would be making for dinner and it was often another highlight of the day. When we wanted to get away to do things Mark would arrange a boat to pick us up if it was on the water or get a taxi to pick us up if by land. Definitely go to the Pelican Bar during your stay, definitely an original place to go and worth the cost. All in all we can't say good enough things for everything this property has to offer. Thank you for hosting us!

PREFECT SAFE SPACE FOR A VACATION
This place is an amazing hidden gem for the perfect getaway. Hidden in the private beach area of Black River, Jamaica approximately 1.5.hrs drive from the Montego Bay airport. This house is spacious, clean, renovated and updated. The pictures does not give this beautiful palace the justice it deserves. Special thank you to Chef Mark who took extremely good care of us during our stay. You have questions, Chef Mark has the answers. He took us to the market, supermarket which is less than 7 minutes from the house. He introduce us to the perfect Jamaican sit down restaurant Nola’s Lounge, real authentic Jamaican cuisines. The host Miss Carla was perfect. She address all of my concerns. As per my request, she was able to have Jamaican rum cakes delivered upon my arrival for a birth celebration. The pool, the hot tub, the beach and the beautiful sunset. Get your camera’s ready. Chef arranged for the boat to picked us up right on the beach at the back of the house to take us to the Pelican Bar restaurant that’s located in the middle of the ocean. This only cost $25US but it’s worth it. YS falls and other excursions are only minutes away from the house. Forget about all inclusive resort, this 4 bedroom spacious villa is all you need for your next family bonding, rejuvenation and relaxing vacation. The chef and the cleaning staff Miss Collette is included in the price and they’re amazing. I will definitely be back, it’s worth every penny, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Miss Carla.

Amazing!!
Had a great family vacation, House was clean and well kept. The private beach was wonderful, so relaxing. Mark our chef was amazing, his cooking was excellent. Enjoyed going to town to grocery shop with him, made us feel safe. Very honest, let us know when we were paying to much for something. Mark even cooked things on the side for our 8 month old granddaughter to eat. We will definitely be back, truly relaxing, a great place for a family to spend time together.
