BEST FAMILY VACATION TO DATE!
Stop looking! You found your perfect Jamaican stay right here. Carla was great, very communicative, and never hesitated to help however she could. But the true gem here… Mark. He hands down made our vacation. You will not find a better cooked meal on the island. He was so kind and generous and helpful. Seriously invaluable. Wonderful layout for a group of nine with a mix of two families including littles and grandparents. We would book here again without hesitation. Also, you won’t see a better view of the sunset. It’s as if the sun sets only for Sweet Villa. BOOK NOW!!!

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!

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.

Retirement celebration
I took my entire family (children and grandchildren) to Sweet Escape and could not have been happier with the villa and chef Mark. The property was very clean and accommodated all 10 of us easily. The pool area was fantastic and the grounds were very well cared for. Chef Mark was wonderful and made planning our meals so easy. The best part was his cooking and attention to our needs. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone interested in a very nice and relaxing vacation. Also, Collette was super nice and kept our linens and rooms very clean. We ate at the villa every meal except the last night because Mark's cooking was so good. However, the Las Vegas Restaurant just up the beach was very good as well and we treated Mark to dinner on us.

Birthday Family Trip
We have stayed in many vacation rentals, this by far was a game changer. The worst thing I can say about it is the pictures don't do it justice! The day we arrived it was storming so it took a bit longer to arrive to the villa. No matter Mark was up and there to greet us. The Host was super responsive and was able to guide the driver as we got closer. We had a group of 6 which included my 2 year old. My Birthday dinner was beautiful Mark set it up so nice. We enjoyed every bite! He also made sure he made a bit on the side for my son (nights we requested spicy) just in case the spice level was a bit high, as well as his favorite breakfast daily 😀 which is pancakes. They had any and everything we needed, from a pump to blow up floaters to a highchair at dinner. For vacation rentals Mark changes the experience, his food was more than delicious (we chose authentic Jamaican food), he accommodated all our Excursions needs, was able to have a massage therapist come on site, COVID Tests, and a water taxi when needed. Our stay was a week long. If you are ok with not being in crowds and not the touristy area this is the place for you. There are so many things to do on this side of the island 🏝 that no one ever tells you about. Stay here it will be worth it!!! 🛩💖

Sweet Escape with Family
This was our third time visiting Jamaica but our first time in Black River and we had the pleasure of staying at Sweet Escape. The home is exactly as pictured with enough room for our family of seven to spread out. Mark was there to greet us and made some delicious Jamaican meals which we planned together in advance. He helped arranged our transportation to various excursions and was reliable ensuring we had what we need. I can’t thank him enough for the care and attention. Collette was also very kind and a big help with housekeeping. The kids enjoyed the pool and were able to safely explore the beach. It was a comfy and relaxing family vacation and I’m glad we got to create some beautiful memories at this pleasant villa!

Super holiday in a super villa
Our family stayed at this villa for 14 days. This vacation was unforgettable. The villa is large and very comfortable. The villa has everything you need for a great holiday, bright and comfortable. Cleaning was done every other day, thanks for that. It was also very comfortable to relax and swim in the pool in the yard. The sea is very warm and a stone's throw from the house. We were always in touch with the owner. Thank you Carla for organizing a wonderful stay at the villa. Special thanks to the chef Mark. During our holiday, Mark was part of our family. Mark is a great cook. He responded to all our requests and questions and helped in everything and always. Thank you Mark for everything he has done for us. We recommend staying at this villa

Family Vacation
My family had a fun week in Jamaica and enjoyed the property and pool. We loved the meals that Chef Mark prepared and he was great at adjusting his dishes for our food sensitivities. The owner Ms Dixon was very patient with my many emails and pre-planning information needs. It was incredibly helpful and a huge plus that Ms Dixon made all the transportation arrangements in advance. We enjoyed the house and the immersion into the local culture rather than staying in more crowded tourist area given covid - we really wanted a place that we could relax and get away from the world. Even had a bonfire on the beach! We recommend this property for families or groups of friends who want to get away from the crowds, but still close enough to plan Black River, Treasure Beach and Negril excursions to sightsee.

Christmas in Jamaica 2020
This was the first time my family and I ever traveled during a holiday. Mrs. Carla set up our transportation to and from the airport. The transportation service was on time both ways which was great. It took about 2 hours from the airport to the villa. I was already nervous not knowing what to really expect once we got there. Once we arrived at the villa, I was so relieved to see how beautiful this place was. Mark the chef greeted us at the door. From that day on, Mark became my best friend. He made sure we had everything we needed as far as food, drinks and transportation to anywhere we needed to go.. Also, try to help us understand the money value.( we're still working on that ) lol. Mark is such a great chef. I can talk about him all day but you need to know how beautiful this villa is also. I Love an open floor plan. Everyone can be together at one time. The villa was extremely clean. The bedrooms are spacious. Love the huge closet space along with the spacious bathrooms. Okay, lets talk about the pool area... 1 word ( AMAZING ) . The picture of the villa doesn't do it any justice. The pool is actually bigger than what is shown on the picture. There's plenty of seating around the pool area . We also loved sitting under the shaded pergola watching the sunset. It was absolutely beautiful. Being though it was Christmas week, Mrs. Carla made sure we had a decorated Christmas tree. I was also celebrating my husband and mother's birthday, Mrs. Carla and Chef Mark helped me put together a fabulous Birthday dinner for them by the pool with white linens balloons. Also schedule them a massage by the pool facing the ocean, I couldn't ask for anything more.. This was everything I see on television come true. Thank you Mrs. Carla & Chef Mark for an Amazing Christmas Vacation
