Reviews
We had a fantastic trip and our guests, who were in Jamaica for the first time, were simply blown away. It reminded the original Fitzsimons 5 why we went to the Island in the first instance and why Keela Wee. We concluded after an 18-year gap that it is our favored villa. There have been many as you know.
-Fitzsimmons Party
The villa offered a serene and tranquil atmosphere for my family to spend time together. The staff, however took the vacation to another level. Attentive, polite, and very accommodating to our every request. They are definitely a valuable asset to the villa.

We have stayed at several villas and the staff at Keela Wee is the best we have ever experienced. The villa and grounds are stunning. The best location ever! The villa and staff exceeded our expectations and we will return next year.

Heather was a pleasure. I look forward to working with her again! Yes we’ll definitely recommend the villa, however it’s the staff that make it soooo special. The owners should do everything possible to ensure this group remains the POWER TEAM of KEELA WEE!

Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. They asked about preferences and anticipated our needs.
This was our 8th trip to Jamaica and Keela Wee was our favorite. The staff, house and outdoor space is fabulous.
We had an incredible time - you were so right about the house and the staff, thank you so much for directing us there. That was probably the best overall week of all of our trips. The staff and setting at Keela Wee was the best.

Falchuck Party
The villa itself was stunning and we did have to pinch ourselves a few times to make sure we weren’t dreaming but what made it unbelievably special was the staff. There were tears when we left, all around. We will talk about this experience from start to finish not just for years to come but forever.

We are home but don’t want to be. Noreen, we had the vacation of a lifetime. The villa at Keela Wee was absolutely stunning beyond words and the staff were the best. We wanted for nothing the entire week and I cannot remember the last time I was on vacation and never left the premises.
The food that was prepared was exceptional and we looked forward to every meal. Fishing boats delivered their catch right up on the beach and even the trinket souvenir lady came to the front door with her van.
