We had the most fabulous time on our trip to Jamaica! We agreed that the Mobay travel was well worth the cost, as our flight home was delayed almost 3 hours! We had a fabulous time out on the catamaran and I have to tell you, the staff who ran the boat and the boat itself was top notch! All of our transportation to and from the house was also great.
The best part about our trip, however, was the staff at sugar hill. They were SO nice and so accommodating. We had a WIDE age range for the kids and they accommodated everyone! I have some of the pickiest eaters out of the group and they were always satisfied and if not, the chef would make them something special. I am working out my trip advisor review. The people in Jamaica were so friendly, probably some of the nicest people we have encountered when traveling. We felt safe the whole time we were there and were very happy about all of the activities they had available for all the kids (and dad's) to do at the resort. I hope we will be able to go again next year!

Sugar Hill is a glamorous eight-bedroom villa on a lush three-acre site with breathtaking views of the Tryall Club, the Caribbean Sea, and a long coastline. Designed for large groups and families, it features four bedrooms in the Main Villa and four more in the Guest Cottage. The Main Villa is richly furnished in hand-carved Jamaican mahogany and colorful fabrics. Relaxed, luxurious, and inviting, it features an exceptional collection of Jamaican fine art, a personal shell collection, and a great selection of books, games, and music. A few steps down the hill is the more casual four-bedroom Guest Cottage with three smaller but very attractive bedrooms and one very private suite with spectacular views from high atop the Cottage
Sugar Hill is a manicured tropical paradise with an abundant variety of stunning palms, gorgeous flowering plants, and a thriving orchard of fruit trees: banana, plantain, mango, papaya, ackee, June plum, Otahiti apple, custard apple, sweet sap, sour sap, guava, and breadfruit trees. Shaded hammocks are amidst the grounds. The gardeners gather ripe coconuts every day and the butler offers fresh coconut water to guests (known to be a panacea for many ills from weak hearts to hangovers). Exceptional meals are prepared according to your individual tastes and dietary needs. An abundant organic garden yields fresh herbs and vegetables which Chef Marica uses daily. Tour the garden and pick your own vegetables!

I’m just circling back to let you know how much we appreciate all of your help. Sugar Hill was wonderful and the staff couldn’t have been better. The wedding went off so well, along with the Fancy Kat excursion and our Reggae dinner. Khadine, your help with the transportation and the many details that went along with all of our logistics were simply invaluable. I know that without you both, we never could have pulled it all off.
-Carr Party
We had a wonderful five days at Sugar Hill from July 20-25. The resort amenities — golf, pickleball, tennis, and snorkeling, to name a few — are second to none, but what makes the Tryall experience exceptional is the staff. Marica and her team made us truly feel that this was our own home. Our butler, Kirk, took care of drinks and meal service and gave us a lesson on recent Jamaican history. Marica ran the show from the kitchen, giving us wonderful dinners of jerk chicken, grilled shrimp, and red snapper served in ways we’d never seen. Thanks, as well to Beverley, Tash, and Bowen for making the whole place look beautiful.
You won’t find a better value among luxury resorts — we can’t wait to return for a third visit!
P.S. Huge thanks to Jamaica Villas for all their work making everything seamless for our arrival.
-Macrae Party
I just wanted to follow up to let you know that the trip was a total success. Everyone had a fabulous time and the house was great. Thanks so much. We look forward to working with your company again in the future.
The gardeners gave us a tour of the property and organic garden, and pointed out all the tropical fruit trees and flowers.
Bringing families together for events, celebrations or just relaxing is always a blessing, but to do all of the above at SUGAR HILL VILLA was and will be again an amazing experience on several fronts:
* The food Ms. Marica prepared every day was 5 star without question! Even when we didn't know what we wanted to eat, Marica would ease into the kitchen and work magic.
* Mr. Kirk looked after all of our needs without hesitation. He would float in and out of the kitchen and across the property instinctively knowing one of us needed/wanted a drink or something.
* The entire staff made us feel like this was our home away from home. They laughed with us, danced with us, helped when the kids needed medical attention and made us all feel cared for.
* Bev, the laundress did and amazing job on all the clothes. She got out stains that we didn't think would come out!
Food was always available, drinks flowing, laughter was heard throughout the house. The art in the house is thoughtful and beautiful. The pool is the right size and temperature for adults and kids. Bev was a vibrant energy whose dance moves were unmatched. We really slept like babies, even the insomniacs. LOVE THIS HOUSE!
The property is GORGEOUS! Every room is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. It was difficult to make day trips because the property was so inviting and cozy that we just wanted to stay in the pool with the kids.
Thank you so much for your email. I have been meaning to write to let you know how much we loved Sugar Hill. The villa itself was wonderful and the staff, well, the staff was incredible. I have to say we have enjoyed every villa we have stayed at and I feel like every year our staff experience just gets better and better, and Sugar Hill was no exception. Everyone was just so wonderful and accommodating and just amazing with the kids!
We also really enjoyed staying on the Tryall property and found most everyone who worked there also lovely.
We definitely would love to come back.
