This was my second stay at Villa Sonate. My first stay was so wonderful I was glad to return. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have nice furnishings. Each room has its own veranda with 2 chairs and a table. I enjoyed sitting outside to read. The housekeeping staff is great. Everyone at Villa Sonate is welcoming and helpful. The cooks prepare delicious and satisfying Jamaican breakfasts and made sure to accommodate my meat and gluten-free diet. Another wonderful stay!

It was reasonably priced, had a clean pool, and clean surroundings. It is about 6 minutes from popular eating spots and beaches. I had only one dislike which was the jet tub. When the jet was turned on, alot of black sediments came out, seems it is needs cleaning.

The Property when it appeared on the booking site, resembled a little fairytale castle with its unique setting, size, and color. I was only convinced that the place was real from the pictures I saw as I looked through them all on the site and scanned through the reviews. When I arrived there, I indeed saw that it was real and just as the pictures showed... Charming, cozy, clean, picturesque in a well maintained, manicured, and breathtaking setting. The food is most excellently prepared, hearty, substantial, refine and delicious all at once... The staff is courteous, friendly and responsive to your every need... My only suggestion, is that Villa Sonate screens off the area where breakfast is served on the dining room porch and the door leading to the pool area to keep the little flying critters out - when you are dining...But even with that it's just such a perfect fairytale place to stay!!! Villa Sonate is a little jewel in Runaway Bay...
