Perks for the Parents
Coconut Cottage villa offers a unique Montego Bay experience with catering by a dedicated staff. This private upscale villa is the epitome of redefined Caribbean living. Coconut Cottage is a luxury villa that gives you access to personalized service, the Tryall Club & Resort, and to a deep sense of privacy. Coconut Cottage guests enjoy a deep sense of wellness, personalized service, and independence. There are so many fun advantages to staying in a private luxury villa like Coconut Cottage. You have much more space is a key reason. Villas like Coconut Cottage are cottages in name only. In fact, Coconut Cottage is a sprawling compound with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the whole family or a larger group to enjoy. Many luxury resorts typically give you a room or two with a basic kitchenette. But villas like Coconut Cottage have grand bedrooms, full kitchens, spacious lounges, porches, decks, verandahs, and tropical gardens.
Why Kids Love it
Coconut Cottage offers a private pool, full laundry services, transfers to the airport, an on-call driver, and Wi-Fi in a secluded location. You are guaranteed a front-row seat to stunning seascapes but without the crowds. You can create unique memories in the privacy of a luxury villa. Having a special place all to yourself gives you the greatest possible freedom to be spontaneous, to relax, to do all the things that you enjoy. Whether it’s lingering at the dinner table with your family, gathering on the verandah every night for a happy hour, playing Ping-Pong with the kids, or lounging the day away with a book, the environment couldn’t be more hospitable and congenial. If you want to arrange an intimate get-together or a reunion of friends and family, we can help you realize it on your terms. There isn’t much that can match this level of personalization that you will receive at Coconut Cottage villas whether you are traveling as a couple, family, or group. When groups of families travel together, the necessity of staying in separate rooms can limit quality time. At Coconut Cottage, everyone is under one roof, free to dine together, socialize in common areas, or find a secluded place for some alone time. Coconut Cottage works well for families with small children. All suites are just steps away from each other, yet completely separate. This means that if your kids happen to be boisterous, you don’t have to worry that their high-volume high spirits are intruding on the space or solitude of other vacationers. You can enjoy complete privacy! What could be more luxurious than being able to isolate yourself from hundreds of strangers and have the place all to yourself? Simple peace and quiet can be wonderful. Having the place to yourself can save a lot of time and headaches — no lines to the treadmills at the gym, no waking up early to reserve the beach chair, no sharing the pool with other people’s kids. And if you want to have a family karaoke one night, no raised eyebrows about wayward notes from other guests either. With the help of a dedicated staff of seven people, Coconut Cottage has a full staff on hand who will get to know you and your preferences very well, enabling them to custom-fit their services to your needs. They don’t hover, but they are there when you need them. Our full-time staff includes a professional chef, butler, housekeeper, gardener, laundress, and security staff. You will also have access to our complimentary 24/7 12-passenger van and personal driver. With Coconut Cottage you’ve found your Jamaican home away from home. Coconut Cottage is more than a thoughtfully designed, luxurious accommodation. It’s a comfortable hideaway that invites you to settle in and relax. State-of-the-art amenities combined with the creature comforts of home create an authentic ambiance of home away from home. Vacationing with us at Coconut Cottage is stay that is flexible and makes sense financially. Renting a private villa like Coconut Cottage can save you money. You will often get a better rate and more space and amenities for your money at a villa than you can at a hotel. This is especially true in the case of groups and extended stays. And, you can really relax. Imagine: no restrictions on dining options. No missing the breakfast buffet because you slept in. No obeying somebody else’s schedule or itinerary. You create your own. And you never have to worry about losing access to any amenities or equipment. Explore Montego Bay at your leisure and choose whatever food and drink experiences you want. The freedom to set your own schedule is another advantage of staying with us at Coconut Cottage.
Things to Know
— Which airport should I fly into? The closest airport is Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport (20 minutes). — What travel documentation do I need? A valid passport is required for all passengers including infants. If you have questions about this requirement or are a citizen of another country, call 1-800-233-4582 (Jamaica Tourist Board). — How do I get to Coconut Cottage from the Montego Bay Airport (MBJ)? A private air-conditioned vehicle with a personal driver will be waiting for you on arrival (note: for week-long and 5-day stays). The drive to Coconut Cottage Villa is about 20 minutes and is a wonderful first introduction to the island. We recommend you travel with some small change if you require a porter as Airport Carts are not allowed outside the Terminal Building. The cost is about US$2 per bag. — What currency should I use and is there a nearby ATM? US dollars are accepted (and preferred) island-wide. Exchange rates vary if you choose to purchase Jamaican dollars (JAD). You can do a google search to see the latest Jamaican-USD conversion rate for reference. Credit cards are accepted at the Tryall Club & Resort, grocery stores, and most restaurants. Local street and market vendors typically accept US dollars or JAD. There are several ATMs in Montego Bay and one in the nearby town of Hopewell. — Transportation with Driver: Our 12-passenger van is a Toyota ‘high top’ van that is air-conditioned and has hassle-free entry and exit. — What is the weather like? Jamaica enjoys typical Caribbean weather: 80’s by day and 70’s at night. Winter to summer variance is only 10 degrees. You can sometimes get afternoon showers and rain in May or June and September or October, more so than in other months. — Is Jamaica safe? Very safe, if you are sensible. Use the same caution in Montego Bay that you would use in any large city. Coconut Cottage is away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is very secure and has a full staff on the property during the day as well as night security for your peace of mind. If you choose to bring jewelry, cash, etc., the villa has lockable in-room safes for your valuables. — Will my cell phone work? Take your cell phone. It will most likely work perfectly fine and without any issues. To be sure, call your cell phone provider to ask whether your cell plan will work in Jamaica and if you have an international calling and data plan. You might consider going into the settings of your smartphone and turning off “cellular data” and only using Wifi to make Facetime and other internet-based calls. There is great Wifi at Coconut Cottage. — What should I expect? Jamaica is truly a world away. Its natural beauty is breathtaking and its people charming and laid back. Time slows down. To enjoy your time on the island, you must come prepared for this. With its laid-back island pace, you’ll fall in love with Montego Bay and the people who live there. — How will I get around once I get settled at the villa? A full-time driver and 12-passenger van are included in the cost of your stay, including: • dedicated licensed driver/tour guide • airport transfers both ways • anywhere/anytime service* • 1 tank of gas (additional gas paid by guests) *Long-distance trips require an additional fee, such as to Kingston, a 2 ½ hour drive from Montego Bay — How do I shop for groceries and pay for food during my stay? A typical grocery budget is approximately US $50 per day per person for adults and $40 for kids. This includes full breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wine and liquor are extra and will be pre-stocked at your request. Most of our guests like to stop at one of the big grocery stores on their way from the airport so that they can personally stock up on the things that they want for their stay. If stopping at the store is not something that you want to do, Coconut Cottage staff can also stock the first day’s food (lunch, dinner, and breakfast) based on instructions you provide on our Guest Arrival Information Form. Our staff can also shop for you every few days, as needed. You and your guests may also decide to shop at the grocery store once you have gotten settled from your travels. If you wish to go to the various markets or grocery stores with your chef or cook, you are welcome to do so (grocery stores accept major credit cards, but they will likely need to see identification such as a passport). At the beginning of your stay, the Chef and House Manager will work out how you want to pay for your food. Please be prepared to pay the Coconut Cottage staff for your groceries with cash unless otherwise arranged. Both US and Jamaican dollars are accepted. You can ask the Chef and/or the House Manager to help find whatever reasonable food or drink item you might need during your stay but know that certain things are hard to find in Jamaica like you would find in the U.S., Canada, or Europe. Learn more about dining at Coconut Cottage: https://www.cocojamaica.com/dining/ — What are the other dining options outside of Coconut Cottage? Included with your complimentary Tryall Club membership is access to exclusive dining options offering panoramic seaside views, the intimate Afternoon Tea at Tryall with menus updated daily, cocktail bars, dinners, and more. Ask about Jamaica Nights at our the Tryall Beach Club, featuring reggae music and authentic Jamaican cuisine. On Wednesdays at the Tryall Club you can indulge in the elegant ambiance of our Great House Piano Dinner, accompanied by live piano music and exquisite dining. Thursdays come alive with our electrifying Beach Reggae Party, where you can groove to Jamaican beats and enjoy a sumptuous buffet. If you feel the need to venture out, there are some wonderful dining choices all over the island, including some of our favorites: • The Houseboat: Floating waterfront restaurant in Freeport offering a unique setting. Enjoy dinner downstairs in the cozy dining room or we recommend dining in the upper-deck to sit beneath the stars. The Houseboat features a constantly evolving fusion menu created by internationally trained Chef Rich Nurse. Casually elegant. Although the kitchen closes around 10pm, the bar opens every day at 4pm and remains open until the owners feel like shutting it down. • Montego Bay Yacht Club: Another casual, waterside dining and bar open for lunch and dinner. This establishment offers a blend of Jamaican and International cuisine in beautiful surroundings. The kiddies’ play area and small pool make this restaurant kid-friendly. Closes at 10pm. The Sugar Mill: This is one of Jamaica’s most elegant restaurants and has one of its most evocative settings, with tables set on the grassy lawn carved from the jungle or on a patio against the 300-year-old stone walls of the romantically crumbling Sugar Mill and its restored waterwheel. It is the place to splash out for an elegant while on the other side of Montego Bay (about 45 minutes from Round Hill and Coconut Cottage). The menu marries local and Caribbean flavors with a dash of Asian spices and international style: jerk-curry dusted chicken with gungo peas, mashed pumpkin with thyme and crispy bacon; snapper poached in coconut and saffron; pork tenderloin in an “island spice” rub of coffee, cocoa, and pimento under a piña colada sauce and served with a vegetable and herb stew. Reservations are required; the dress code is “casual elegant” (no jeans, shorts, sneakers, or flip-flops). — Tryall Club and Resort, to which Coconut Cottage guests receive complimentary membership, provides nightly entertainment that ranges from a torch-lit beach barbecue accompanied by a live Calypso band to romantic jazz and dancing under the stars. Please see Tryall’s website (https://tryallclub.com/) for a list of amenities for the most up-to-date entertainment options. For those of us who are active, an abundance of water sports, tours, and scenic walks are also accessible at Tryall, including snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, water skiing, and sailing. The Resort houses multiple tennis and pickleball courts and also gains you access to the Tryall Golf Club, the 18-hold par-72 championship course. There are many other fun and interesting places to explore: • Rose Hall Great House: Tour this 18th-century home presiding over a 6,600-acre hillside estate supposedly haunted by its infamous mistress, Annie Palmer, called the White Witch. The legend is that she murdered all three of her husbands and several slave lovers to boot. • Doctor’s Cave Bathing Club: Join the club with a day membership to enjoy crystal-clear water that remains at a temperature between 78ºF to 84ºF, and is said to have curative powers. • The Gallery of West Indian Art: A treasure trove of Jamaican and Caribbean paintings, woodcarving, and craft pieces that you will find in the Catherine Hall neighborhood of the Bay. Look for the gallery’s signature “spotties” — carved wooden animals, hand-painted in bright hues and decorated with white polka dots.

The picturesque 18-hole championship golf course offers a challenging and memorable experience for golf enthusiasts of all skill levels. Designed by Ralph Plummer in 1958, the course spans over 6,772 yards of undulating terrain with strategically placed bunkers, rolling fairways, and demanding greens. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Caribbean Sea as you navigate our meticulously maintained layout, creating unforgettable memories with every swing. One of Tryall’s most enduring features, the 18-hole, 6,836-yard course is the work of celebrated golf course designer Ralph Plummer. Plummer, who worked on over 100 courses during his 40-year career, created an amazing course for Tryall. He added features where there were none, without creating clutter and distractions. He worked with the terrain, locating holes across the gently rolling hills for contrast with the earlier flatter holes. Water features, just the right amount of bunkers and crosswinds add to the intrigue. Today’s golfer will never lose interest in a round at Tryall, thanks to Plummer’s work. The seventh hole incorporates the aqueduct that supplied the sugar plantation’s waterwheel – you play your shot right through the aqueduct’s stone pillars. The challenge of the wind is ever present, demanding concentration and careful assessment of your next shot. We haven’t allowed Plummer’s legacy to stifle development. For the 1992 Johnnie Walker Championship we added a fourth hole in true Plummer style, incorporating the ocean and the Flint River. Now we have a course that flows down to the sea and then, eight holes later, rises to 180 feet. New tees have been discreetly incorporated, further improving on the design. Technically challenging, beautiful to look at and never overcrowded, Tryall’s golf course is one of the Caribbean’s finest.

Palm-fringed beaches and technicolor sunsets
West of Montego Bay, Jamaica's second smallest parish is slightly off the tourist beat, with classy residences in the hills and near the beach. It's one of Jamaica's less developed areas with fewer resorts and more authentic natural sights. Expect palm-fringed beaches, technicolor sunsets and shallow, sugar-sand beaches.
