Villa on the Beach. Charming, Quaint 3 bedroom at Cannon Villas Ocho Rios

This was a long awaited family getaway visiting Jamaica. The Villa exceeded our expectations and provided a serene and idyllic location to enjoy the beach and all of the surrounding activities that are close by. From the moment you enter the property and are greeted by the security staff, grounds caretaker and Villa staff you knew that you were going to enjoy your stay with warmth and experience something special. Marlene prepared for us many wonderful meals that are well known throughout the island and we had ackee and salfish the Jamaican National Dish! What a treat!!! She and Tracy also made sure that all of our needs were met for a comfortable and memorable stay. Highly recommend and I can see why this Villa with its location on a pristine beach, close to all of the well know attractions, and great customer service and experience is a favorite for its past guests…we will definitely return if future travel plans takes us back to Ocho Rios.

Cottage was as described AC in rooms worked greatOpen in living/dining/kitchen so that obviously gets warm. Secluded beach was nice and quiet.

You enter Old Fort Bay through a security gate that is manned 100% of the time. The Cannon Villas have 6 Villas and you enter another gate to get into the property. Villa A is right in the beach and has the best view by far. Property is steps away from the beach. They have 2 loungers and the property has others you can use. Great to have an option to view the water without having to be on the beach. Water is gorgeous blues. It’s in Old Fort Bay. End to end the bay is about 1/4 mile walk on the beach. Really nice snorkeling less than 100 yards off the beach. Bring your snorkel gear. House is older but they have invested in the property with remodels. This is not the 4 Seasons but very nice. Definitely more of a beach villa feel. 3 rooms all with air conditioning. Main living space and kitchen are not air conditioned so you keep the doors and windows open to create a draft. Service, location, and security is really what makes this a 10/10. You will have a housekeeper(s) Marlene and Tracey. They make up your room, clean and cook for you each day. They arrive at 9 AM and stay until around 5-530. They are a couple of groundskeepers Jermaine and Favion there during the day taking care of the grounds of the 6 properties. At night 6 PM to 6 AM there is a security guard BooDoo (sp?). If you want Marlene to cook you will work with her on meals. We wanted to experience Jamaican cuisine so we went for fish, goat curry, oxtail and beans, and chicken. Take a taxi to get food.

We had a wonderful time! Marlene was an excellent cook and certainly prepared food that we loved!The easy access to the beach was wonderful and certainly was not crowded.We certainly would love to return again next year for a longer stay!

Great location, right on the beach. Staff and food were excellent. We chose to eat local dishes. Marlene is an excellent cook and took care of all our needs. Difficult to pick a favourite food - oxtail, brown stew fish, ackee and salt fish, mackerel run down, jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain, bammy, breadfruit, salt fish fritters, etc. Everyone had a great time. Would definitely return again.

This villa was the perfect peaceful and fun getaway for my family. We stayed here with 2 kids (3 & 5) and 3 adults and it was the perfect amount of space for us. Marlene did a great job making sure we were comfortable, well-fed (she’s an amazing cook), and that the villa was always tidy and comfortable. Matthew was the perfect host. We traveled during a time of extreme uncertainty due to the hurricane and Matthew was extremely communicative, understanding, flexible and accommodating.

This property was cozy and comfortable for our family's few days visit to the coast. Staff was very pleasant but professional. This was our second visit and would definitely be going back again.

We love staying at this property with our family. It’s incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We will be back for sure.

Lovely laid back beach cottage. Marlene was wonderful, great cook making our stay perfect.

Just spend nine incredible days with my wife and two grown sons at this beach side villa in Mammee Bay, just outside of Ocho Rios. Marlene, our housekeeper, was a boss who attended to our every need with her culinary skills and great hospitality and Anthony, our groundsman, was always available to chop coconuts, man the grill and provide any other necessary assistance. For adults or a family with kids, this villa cannot be beat for location and service. We've been coming here for years and cannot wait to return. I highly recommend it to anyone.
