Barbara Allen was excellent, everything was so easy and straight forward, she was very professional and experienced, thank you so much!
Fairway Manor met all of our expectations, we knew from the time the staff greeted us as we arrived at the front door that it would be something special. The booking was so easy with our reservation specialist Barbara Allen. The food was outta this world! Chef Charles made some amazing dishes, I think everyone's favorite was the jerk lobster, YUM! And i can't forget the key lime pie. Our Butler Roy was something special, attended to our every need, hope we didn't wear him out! Overall, it was just perfect! We will be back next year for sure!

Staff was everything you would want on a vacation! Excellent service, beautiful grounds, clean rooms. Food was heaven! Got better each day. A beautiful villa! Clean and soft towels and sheets. Everything was perfect! Charles was a fantastic cook! We can't wait to come back! We will stay longer next time!

The staff couldn't have been better - outstanding food & service all week!
Accommodations are lovely. We were so comfortable that we only left the villa two times. Everyone in our group of 12 people had a wonderful time!
Colvin
I just wanted to send an email to say thanks for allowing us to have a vacation of a lifetime. Our standards now have been set very high due to the care, love and professionalism given by you, your staff, and the staff at the villa. I have to first start with the communication with you and your staff at Villas for Linda Smith. Any email that I sent with the many questions that I had, they were all answered with professionalism. We really appreciate the email that was sent first thing after Hurricane Matthew came through to assure us that all was well. We had spent the prior weekend very nervous and before I got a chance to ask how the villa and area was, you had already reached out to me.
Now to get to our second family at the villa. EVERY PERSON at the villa there was wonderful. We enjoyed the meals that Charles prepared for us daily. Each meal to us was cooked with love and had every request that we had. Even with the allergies we had within our group, he was able to make sure all was well and we had no worries or issues. Janet and Veronica were wonderful people and they took the time to make sure our area was cleaned and taken care of. We actually didn't know they would do all that they did in caring for our rooms and clothes so it was a welcomed surprise and we were grateful. Richard was also there to make sure we had everything we needed from making drinks to making sure the hot tub temperature was just like we wanted. Roy our driver was also very accommodating and willing to flow with our changes and request. He gave us a information lesson as we traveled to Negril for a day trip. He knew when to keep us engaged and when to just let us relax on the van.
Roy, I can not say enough great things about Roy. He was a gem to have during our trip. He was also a wealth of knowledge and answered our questions about the area and the house. He was there for whatever we needed and we were happy and blessed to have him at the home with us. Each one of your staff took very good care of us and we were so happy to have this experiance.
The home is also very well taken care of and I guess that is also due to Roy being there. The only issue we had was one of the rooms didnt have airconditioning working properly. The staff worked hard at fixing the issue and made accomodations until the issue was fixed. Therefore, we never skipped a beat.
Thank you again for having a lovely home and staff to make sure our time here was perfect. We did not want to go home and cried the whole way home. We woke us this morning waiting for the bell to ring for breakfast. Thank you for setting a new standard for us when we vacation together on our yearly couples trip. This was our 5th Annual Couples Trip and it was the best one yet! As much as we would like to see the other homes in different areas the next time we visit, we can not leave the staff at Fairway Manor. When its time to return we will have to come back to "our second home" at Fairway Manor!!

Hi Sharon,
I just wanted to let you know that my party of 12 was really extremely pleased and happy with our holiday in Fairway Manor! We’ve been doing villa holidays in the Caribbean for a few years now : Barbados – 3 times, Jamaica – once before, St. Maarten. This, we all agree, was the best, most well-appointed villa that we’ve had thus far. The staff were very good – great teamwork, very discreet, very pleasant. I’m sure we’ll come again.
Thanks & kind regards,
Vijaya M.
Dear Linda,
Our stay at the Fairview Manor was everything we have come to enjoy about Linda's Villas. All of the staff greeted us upon arrival with warm smiles of welcome. They explained their role and welcomed us to the villa. Everything was perfect, clean, etc. We were treated with kindness throughout our stay. Roy was attentive to our every need and the maids kept the villa pristine. We would have loved to have extended our stay. We look forward to another family reunion at a Jamaican villa in the future.
Susan C.
Barbara and Anna - just a quick note to thank you both for all of the help in setting up our annual trip. We had an absolutely delightful time. Everything and everyone worked out great. Please extend our thanks to the owner - I don't need to tell him that he has a great team - I am sure he knows.
-Macias Party
Fairway Manor surpassed all of our expectations!
The house was well-kept and tastefully decorated for Christmas. Every room was pristine; the furniture was comfortable and very clean.
The staff made us feel loved and as if we were family. They were extremely gracious, paid attention to every detail, and never wanted to interfere or disturb anyone. They took the job of service seriously and seemed to work well together. We appreciated how they washed and ironed the clothes daily, changed the linens, cleaned off our shoes if they were muddy, and so much more. Roy and Richard always smiled when they saw you. They were the most accommodating hosts we have ever encountered.
Steven was an experienced driver. His hospitality was very engaging as he chauffeured us around various regions in Jamaica. He shared his expertise in suggesting safe places for us to visit. We found Steve to be extremely knowledgeable about Jamaican people and customs. He knows how to speak with people and he has the ability to thoroughly answer questions. If he doesn’t know the answers right away, he researches and gets back to you in a timely manner.
Every meal was "delicious" and bountiful. Charles graciously fixed meals that gave us an idea of the food foods Jamaicans typically eat. It is quite apparent that he loves his job! The meals are showpieces!!! And for those requiring special menus, the food was just as appealing.
Some of us came to Jamaica as strangers, but we left feeling love for the country and the people like the staff of Fairway Manor! Thank you for blessing us with this extraordinary experience!!
-Mitchell Party
Fairway Manor was recommend to me by Steve Lassman for my 40th Birthday trip. I wanted Montego bay specifically, but wanted suggestions of properties that fit both my needs and budget.
Fairway Manor was everything I was looking for in terms of size, rooms, location and budget, and so I went ahead and booked it.
Words cannot even describe the experience we had. From the team assisting with arrival, ground transport and Grocery needs etc to the house itself, the location and staff. Our expectations were met beyond imagination.
Mr Roy the butler, Charles the chef, Ms Sanda and the other housekeepers. Were all friendly, Warm, accommodating and went above and beyond for us, With a smile and without hesitation.
For my actual birthday, chef Charles worked to plan an amazing Surprise meal of lobster, paella and a home made cake! Due to covid, taxis were limited and so Mr Roy personally drove us to the beach at half moon and to play golf also.
We left feeling like we had gained a Jamaican family for life that constantly kept us safe and treated us without the utmost care 24/7.
I highly recooked Fairway Manor for anyone looking for a special unforgettable Jamaican experience
Shah party
The staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. We completely felt comfortable and well kept. Always a smile. Loved having the tennis court and access to Half Moon. We were able to tour other houses around the area and this one was the best!
Lori G.
This is our second time here and the staff is superb as always. We all love them. This is just the best staff ever!! They work well together. What can I say about Chef Charles other than Superior, Awesome, and Amazing!!
We love the new look of Fairway Manor. Everything was just fantastic.
Patricia K.
Every single member of the household team gave their best effort to make us all feel special and taken care of. It has truly been a vacation to remember. We will miss you all!!
Spratling Party
Staff and service was exceptional. Their level of attention was on par and it was impressive how child-friendly each staff member was. Each meal was delicious and well-made. Special thanks to the concessions made for the kids.
Everything was perfect. Very impressed with the included laundry service, the tennis courts, and game room.

Mensch Family
Home exceeded our expectations. So roomy and beautifully decorated. This is our third year renting a home in Jamaica and this was by far the best.
Staff couldn’t have been any better. The food was fantastic and Roy and Charles made sure we were all well taken care off.
The house was spotless and what a luxury to have your laundry done daily.
The staff was especially great with the children.
Hope to return again next year.
Sharon C.
Everyone was so great with the children. The staff could not have been any better! Very comfortable house. We were very pleasantly surprised by the new decor. Beautiful! It was extremely clean, the linens first rate. The AC worked great in the evenings. Hope to bring the whole family back real soon.
