Emerald View Villa offers a cozy and cultural experience just outside Montego Bay. The location provides beautiful views, and the rooms are clean and spacious. However, the remote setting means you'll need to rely on a taxi for transportation, which can be costly. While the dining options are tasty, keep in mind that breakfast isn't included, which may catch some guests off guard.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Emerald View, which is tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a stunning view from the balcony. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Jennifer, who went above and beyond. Though the location is a bit isolated, making it a peaceful retreat, it might not suit everyone. The dining options were delightful, especially with fresh local dishes, but I could have used a bit more variety. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a serene Jamaican getaway.
