Greatview - Springfarm - Montego Bay

Three world-class golf courses (Cinnamon Hill, Half Moon and White Witch) are within a five-minute drive. The view is breathtaking. The deep blue Caribbean to the north and magnificent mountains to the south. Here is the marriage of exquisite taste, beauty and comfort.

The floors are of French limestone, Travertine marble and exotic pressed bamboo. Walls are fashioned from Barbadian coral stone and Venetian glaze. Furnished in an exquisite combination of Asian antique and tropical colonial, you will be dazzled. The lush grounds are filled with orange and lime trees, avocado, papaya, mango, breadfruit, Poinciana, flame trees and delicate orchids.

Five well-appointed bedrooms are complemented by inside and outside dining areas, a snug television den and an air-conditioned gym complete with TV and fitness videos. A generator ensures that Greatview is never without electricity and air conditioning.

Greatviews well-trained staff include an expert chef who prepares exquisite meals from the state-of-the-art kitchen with six-burner commercial gas stove and grill, two ovens, bread maker, rotisserie, microwave, wine cooler, icemaker and cappuccino/espresso machine. Chef Delores delights guests with her specialties of homemade paté, jerk chicken, lobster Newberg, grilled salmon in avocado sauce, pecan-crusted snapper, grilled shrimp and tenderloin, grasshopper pie and more.

Table service is Wedgwood and Lenox china and sterling silver. Meals are served formally under the crystal chandelier or more casually on the al fresco, 700-square-foot verandah overlooking the pool and magnificent ocean view. Staffing at Greatview is extraordinary including two butlers who provide 24-hour concierge service, room service and breakfast in bed.

The large infinity-edge pool flows as a waterfall into the hot tub on the lower lawn. The poolside bar has a television, blender, smoothie-maker, and fridge stocked with drinks. Vibrant Montego Bay, the hip strip and beautiful Doctors Cave Beach with water sports and Groovy Grouper Restaurant are just 20 minutes away. There are unlimited complimentary passes to Sea Castles beach club.

For excursions snorkels, fins, masks, picnic baskets and beach towels are provided. While numerous balconies and overlooks are part of Greatviews contemporary architecture, the villa is child friendly. It offers complimentary cribs with mobiles, high chairs, playpen, baby toys and games, water toys, floats, water basketball and three tricycles. The shallow end of the pool can be roped off to define where deeper water begins. Greatview includes two connecting suites for families. Also notable is Greatviews accommodation of guests who use wheelchairs or are physically challenged.
