Tryall Club

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!

My family and I had an unforgettable vacation at the Tryall Club. Although I’ve been visiting Jamaica since childhood, this was my first time staying at Tryall—and it far exceeded all my expectations. We stayed at the villa Bye the Way, and it was absolute perfection. The true heart of our experience, as always in Jamaica, was the people. Our house manager, Nisha, made us feel like family. She cares for the villa as though it were her own—everything was beautifully maintained and tastefully furnished. We were especially fortunate to have her cook for us each evening. Her menus featured traditional Jamaican cuisine prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Every meal was amazing, but standouts included her jerk chicken, curry shrimp, fresh mango-ginger juice, and the delicious made-to-order breakfasts each morning. It was also my mother’s birthday during our stay, and Nisha went above and beyond—baking a homemade cake and helping us create a truly special celebration we’ll never forget. Our driver, Lincoln, was equally wonderful. He was incredibly accommodating, always available even on short notice, and had great recommendations for excursions around the island. Together, Nisha and Lincoln made a phenomenal team—we wouldn’t consider staying at any villa without them. The Tryall Club itself had everything we could’ve wanted: pristine pools, well-kept tennis courts, a fully equipped fitness center, and although we didn’t have time to play, the golf course looked immaculate. The beach was gorgeous, with attentive staff providing excellent service to match the stunning views. While some might hesitate to visit Jamaica in the summer, we found it delightful. The temperatures were cooler than back home in the States, and the constant ocean breeze made it even more enjoyable. We were truly sad to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit!

The staff were very attentive, respectful and friendly. The villa is big enough to accommodate our group of 11 people. Although it was an amazing week we all had, I think it’s a bit expensive overall. I’ve stayed in several luxurious places, but this has been one that you get less for your money. We budgeted for this trip, but the cost of the food was higher than expected. What really surprised me was that everything is in USD.

We had a wonderful visit to Tryall at Bye the Way. Nisha was a wonderful house manager and made the best meals. She was so accommodating with the little kids and went out of the way to make everything easy for our family. Her meals were delicious and we especially enjoyed her baking. We got to spend some time playing tennis again which also added to the visit. We love visiting Tryall and how well the staff take care of every detail right down to reservations. We will be back
