Tryall Club

Our family joined a wonderful group of friends for our very first trip to Jamaica in August 2024, staying at Phoenix Villa. The experience was so incredible that before we even left, we had already made plans to return. In July 2025, we came back—and it truly felt like coming home, only better. From the moment we arrived, the staff at Phoenix Villa made us feel welcomed and cared for. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every detail of the stay unforgettable. From delicious, beautifully prepared meals to fresh daily laundry service, their hospitality made the experience effortless and relaxing. The villa is truly beautiful—well-kept grounds, comfortable and spotless accommodations, and the ocean stretching right up to the backyard. The surrounding Tryall Club only adds to the experience, with the golf course and driving range nearby and the Great House veranda just a short ride away for spectacular views at tea time. And for the kids, nothing beat the villa’s own pool, where they ended each evening with a magical swim under the stars. Every bedroom was inviting, comfortable, and well maintained, with several boasting gorgeous ocean views. The living spaces were thoughtfully designed for every occasion—whether gathering for cocktails before dinner, celebrating a birthday, finding a quiet spot to read or join a Zoom call, sunbathing, or watching a soccer game. Traveling as a group of five families, we loved how the villa allowed us to enjoy time together while still providing private, comfortable spaces for each family. Phoenix Villa truly has it all—a perfect balance of relaxation, beauty, and connection. We cannot recommend Phoenix Villa highly enough. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

We stayed at the Phoenix Villa this summer with friends. It was absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time. The villa itself is stunning. It’s right on the water, so you have the ocean view everywhere you look. We found it very spacious. The rooms were all lovely and even with multiple families staying there it felt like we all had our privacy. The pool in the center of the courtyard was delightful. The water was perfect and it was enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. There’s also a nice lawn area where you can play croquet, corn hole, or other lawn games to pass the time :). This villa is well located for multiple reasons. It’s right on the water, so it’s easy for water lovers to snorkel or go kayaking right from the villa. It’s also very close to the golfing and the driving range for the golfers in the group. When you want a change of scenery, the Tryall Beach Club is a short walk or golf cart ride down the road. We went there a couple of times to enjoy the infinity pool and the beautiful beach. And if you just want to take a break (or a nap!), you can enjoy the ocean breezes from one of the multiple verandas or the beach chairs on site. I actually had to spend a bit of time on work, and found it wasn’t the worst thing to have to do while enjoying the ocean view (and I can confirm the wifi works well also!). The staff were fantastic. They were very accommodating, for example, feeding the little kids first and providing them with kid-friendly alternates as needed. We were well cared for and well fed the whole time we were there. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The pictures don’t do it justice. I'm happy to recommend the Tryall resort in general and the Phoenix Villa in particular for a family or a group of friends looking for a great place to stay.

We had a fabulous week at the Tryall Club in February at the Hanover Windward house. We were a family of 11 ranging from ages 7 months through 70. We loved all the activities that the Tryall club has to offer from the beach and pool, gym, tennis, pickleball, golf and spa. It is a great vacation for an active family. We hired the Nannies that were wonderful to watch the babies so we could do activities with the older children. They were kind and loving. The staff at the Handover Windward was exceptional! They made our trip the best. Chef is amazing! Every meal was delicious and he accommodated all our likes- even the 3 and 5 year olds! Dugie makes the best cocktails and every night our table setting was different and beautiful. Charmaine and Marcia kept the house organized and nice and clean and we loved having clean clothes in our room every day. Zek and Clark kept the golf carts up and running and the pool clean. The downstairs bedrooms could use some updating but the rest of the house is great.

We spent a week at Sugar Hill to celebrate my aunt’s 70th birthday and we had an incredible experience. Not only were the house, pool and views incredibly picturesque - Kirk, Marica and Beverly treated the entire family like royalty. Despite the daunting humidity and hordes of mosquitoes, their collective desire to make the time spent with them above and beyond was what made this trip unforgettable. Thank you all!

Our vist to Jamaica was wonderful! We stayed at the Villa Amana at Tryall Club in Hanover, Jamaica. From the moment we arrived to our moment of departure, the staff exceeded our expectations. The entire staff, Marland, Devon, Renata, Juanita, Karlene, Sayon and Adrian were professional, warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The property and its surrounding landscape was very clean, well cared for and maintained. The photos posted online do no justice to the beauty of the villa when seen in person. Chef Devon was amazing. He attended to our group's various dietary needs and restrictions. Whether gluten-free, dairy-free, or pescatarian, all were creatively and deliciously accommodated. Chef Devon even added a special touch by baking birthday cakes when he learned we were celebrating birthdays. He graciously made each guest feel well cared for. The laundress also gave us all a special treat. We referred to her as "the fairy". Without being seen, dirty clothing left in our room would disappear only to later reappear clean, folded and ironed, if needed. We were delighted to return home with suitcases filled with clean clothes. Our group enjoyed the property activities that were available. We especially enjoyed the bird watching tour and history of the property guided by Karen on the administrative team. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was contagious. She kept the attention of even the teenagers in our group. Now Marland, the Head of House at Villa Amana deserves some accolades. He quickly picked up on individual preferences and was able to address specific requests almost before the request was spoken. He also had an uncanny ability to keep us organized and prepared for our various planned activities. That skill was very helpful to us as we were a large group with several things happening each day. The combination of the beautiful villa, the cleanliness with which it is maintained, the professional, friendly service and the personalized attention from the staff made this vacation thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable!
