We came back home feeling 20 years younger. You do not have to leave the house. From the hot tub by the pool to the jacuzzi in the master suite and the steam showers and sauna, we did not have to go to the Blue lagoon, or the Mineral Baths in St. Thomas or the fun filled dunn's river falls, which were all great. AND THE FOOD. Evadney is the best cook ever, the broiled lobster and steam fish was the best, and CHINESE FOOD NIGHT...IN JAMAICA..WOW! You might have a problem getting out of bed...those pillow top mattress are a sleeper's dream. Evadney's rum punch and ginger beer better be there next year when we go back. Berger our driver was great, and the waiter had a Ting or Red Stripe as our bottle neared empty. The Truth "THIS WAS THE BEST VACATION I EVER HAD" We will be earning the discount next year. The bamboo raft down the Rio Grande was fun, so was the Blue Mountain Climbing. The kids wanted to stay. MY OH MY!!!!!!!

Thanks Wayne, the staff had a ball with you guys, and Scott wanted to let you know that horse back riding for the Shane and Jon will be on him next time. Keith has been training so you won't beat him at ping pong this time.

My stay at El Cielo was very enjoyable and I look forward to visiting again. The food, staff and accommodations were fantastic! The scenery is breathtaking. Enjoyed the beaches, Dunn's River Falls, and the Bath Fountain. This vacation was well worth the trip. Yeah Mon come back to Jamaica!

-- Ms. Smith   (Rahway, NJ)

The Jamaican culture and food was fantastic; El Cielo was a perfect vacation for relaxing; The beaches were awesome; The services and staff at El Cielo were outstanding. Just a stone throw away from the Blue Lagoon. Can't wait to visit again and suggest other to do the same.

Mark,

THOUGHT I WOULDN'T GET AROUND TO IT DIDN'T YOU!!!

Thank you for a lovely vacation! Everything was super comfortable and Evadney, Keith, Ernie and Purlie were great - couldn't have asked for much more. What a breathtaking view it is from El Cielo - we'll definitely do this again and I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to an incredible night's sleep on those beds!

Jamaica was great, El Cielo was grand. My family and I had an extremely relaxing stay. The staff was excellent, and the food and service delectable. El Cielo was a blend of style and comfort. With wireless internet and satellite TV, we did not miss home, and the natural sounds of the night had us almost asleep in the hot tub at night. The views from the poolside and balconies were classic. The oceanline cruise in from the airport was memorable and it was just a grand week. We will come back.

Dr Allen,

It was great having you, I see you are booked for next spring. I know the staff cannot wait to see you and your family. The tour bus has a new stereo system, so you can rock to Dennis Brown and Bob Marley as you sip your Red Stripe or Evadney's rum punch down the Coast Line. Looking forward to see you again!

Forget the house, it was the best, most relaxing and prestine ever. Night life in Port Antonio, the Roof Club. The Beach Parties Under the Rock. You cannot go to Jamaica and not go Under the Rock. Reggae music and hot chicks on the white sand,........Under The Rock. Evadney's food was the best, and those beds!!!!!!!WoW.

We will be back. We took a chance and we loved it. I feel like Columbus......no one really speak of Port Antonio or Under The Rock............Wow

-- Jose Velazquez    (New York, NY)

Manager's Response

Typical Columbus, discovery after a million life years. I am glad you loved it....everyone does. It was Errol Flynn who said, after a day in Port Antonio, "This Town is Prettier than Any Woman he Met." Coming from Errol Flynn.........who will doubt him?

Thanks again.

Mark

Sauna, Steam Shower, Hot tub, Jacuzzi Evadney's cooking and mangoes from the trees on the property, for $175 per room. No tell him seh mi say so, but this brother crazy.

This was a Special in every way, and my wife wanted to stay permanently. This was life. Five days of life.

We coming back my youth.......fast

-- Melody and James Turner

My family and I had a great holiday at El Cielo where the staff looked after us wonderfully. Evadney's cooking is to write home about. We spent many hours in the jazzusi and in the games room. We'll be going back for sure.

Manager's Response

Well Mrs Manley, coming from the Ex-First Lady, I am indeed very proud. It was fun having you and the family and friends for another time. We all felt honoured and privileged to accomodate you, and look forward to your next visit.

The staff has expressed special gratitude, and had fun serving you.

Thanks again, and see you soon.

Mark

My family and I had a fabulous time at El Cielo. We had a hard time getting the kids to leave. The villa is fabulous, tastefully furnished, and very comfortable. More than anything though, the service that the staff provided was impeccable. Please keep up the standard!

Looking forward to staying there again.

-- Michael Peart M.P.

El Cielo is truly a luxury villa set in Paradise. Portland was already one of our favourite places on earth and our stay at The Spa Palace has cemented that fact. The villa has every amenity we could dream of and more. The staffs are friendly, unobtrusive and helpful. Providing service that is second to none. We’d like to thank them all for a perfect holiday.

-- The Marsh family (England)

Never had a holiday like it! Waited on hand and foot, great food, luxurious surroundings, every amenity imaginable and set in paradise. Thanks to all staff and Mark for making every step from booking to departing so easy.
