Everything about this unit and the owner was fantastic and I echo all the comments in the other 5 star reviews. I was there for 4 nights earlier this month on my first visit to Jamaica. Petronia was there to welcome me and show the unit. It was still two hours before check in and I was prepared to sit by the pool reading but the unit was ready for arrival. I had asked in an email about nearest grocery store and she set a time later in the day and drove me there and waited while I shopped! Throughout my few days there she was very helpful with information and arrangements including transport to my next stop in Jamaica. All in all a wonderful person and host. I did not have a rental car but cabs were plentiful outside the front gate and at the resort across the road. However I was primarily content to enjoy the facilities at the complex or the beach at the Hard Rock Cafe. Immediately next to the complex is the Montego Bay Yacht Club. The food and atmosphere there made for very enjoyable meals. Also ate at the Hard Rock. Overall, the complex was quiet and well maintained with a manager and staff there and a guard at the entry gate. It is a mixture of permanent residents, seasonal owners, long term rentals, and short term such as this. The pool is a short distance from the unit. As mentioned by others, the unit itself has a very nice decor and layout with a full kitchen. Bathroom was a reasonable size with a large shower area. Petronia has supplied it very well in the kitchen and throughout the unit with numerous small touches such as amenities in the bathroom and some welcome items in the refrigerator (beer, water,soda!). There is a lockbox at the entrance that can be used for the key when going out to the beach or pool or upon arrival if she isn't immediately available due to her job. I was impressed that in addition to the standard smoke alarm, there was also a carbon monoxide detector. WiFi was strong all week and although I didn't watch tv, I checked and the cable system has a large number of channels including the major US networks.This is an end unit and as a result. it has it's own small patio area in front. with a small table and chairs. It is nicely screened by bushes and a stairwell creating a nice sense of privacy. As soon as I submit this, I'm sure I'll remember more that I wanted to comment on. But to wrap up, it is an excellent choice and Petronia is the perfect host. I just wish I had stayed longer. I look forward to returning!
This Montego Bay Studio was just what we wanted - a great place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate following other travel so we could attend our nephew's wedding nearby. But the studio was just the beginning. Petronia, the property owner, went above and beyond in MANY ways: providing transportation for us to and from the airport, providing a local phone to use; some beverages were available in the refrigerator and coffee and tea in the cupboard. When the WiFi wasn't working she quickly called the provider to have the service reset and then it worked perfectly. Petronia was very friendly and helpful - would have helped us get groceries, too. The location is super - near the Hard Rock Cafe and beach with a pass provided to use their facilities. The Yacht Club has great food and is right next door - and you have a pass key to gain access when you want. We were so pleased and will contact Petronia if we return to Montego Bay!
Loved it !!! Very clean, spacious, close to many amenities and Petronia was very accommodating.....
