Our family stayed at Spence Villa for one week and really enjoyed our stay. We only wish we could have stayed for longer. We really loved the quiet and privacy of Little Bay Country Club. Since we visited during low tourist season, we had the pool and beach all to ourselves all week! It was really great having a really nice beach that is truly private, with very good snorkelling right from the shore, with a huge warm infinity pool, a short drive away from so many good restaurants and bars along Seven Mile Beach. We loved having the choice between the action of Long Bay and the cliffs, and the peace and quiet of the country club. In my experience, there really isn't anywhere else like that in Negril.
The villa itself was cozy and clean, and the kitchen was nice, new and well equipped. Both bedrooms have nice big beds, ac, and balconies. The big screen with cable in the living room was great for the evenings. Perfect for our family of four. The grounds of the country club are big and well maintained, with really good sunsets from one side of the property. Nice for an evening stroll.
We were picked up at Sangster by Joe Cool taxi service as recommended, they were very nice and efficient. Our driver, (Mervin) was great. He also took us to Mega Mart in Montego on the way and helped us shop. I highly recommend their service. Upon arrival we were greeted by Karen, who gave us the keys, showed us around and how a few things work. As mentioned in previous reviews, you should pay attention. The doors and windows work a little differently than most people would be used to, but easy once you get the hang of it. The starter package of breakfast food was a nice touch, thanks. We made our own breakfast and lunch, and took taxi rides (John) into town for dinner. We visited Hammond's Bakery for beef patties(very good), Best In The West for jerk chicken and pork, (which really is the best in my opinion) and had dinner at Ciao Italian restaurant. Ciao had excellent food, and a free shuttle to and from the cliffs which saves you a fair bit of money. We also visited The Boardwalk Village for some fun, food and drinks on Long Bay during the daytime. We spent an afternoon at Kool Runnings Waterpark which was a total blast, and spent an evening at Rick's Café for cliff jumping, live music, and sunset. Also great.
We definitely had a great time at Spence Villa, and would love to return soon. Thank you Cal, Dahlia, and Samantha for sharing your vacation home with us!
