    Location is pretty far away from the city center. Required is either car or taxi ride.

    There was good WiFi, apartament was clean and kitchen was fully equipped. Host Andrew was very kind and helpful before arrival as well as over the stay. Has recommended taxi driver, who can support in giving a ride to the villa as well as around the local attractions. Villa has two bedrooms, living room with kitchen and bathroom and is located in peaceful and protected/closed neighborhood.

    The house is very well maintained, the kitchen is well equipped and the room is spacious. The house is located in a safe complex of villas 15 minutes drive outside of Montego Bay. The owner has been great in responding to all my messages before arriving, during my stay and after check-out giving me a lot of tips to help me during my stay in Jamaica

    There are villas and then there is nickels garden villas. Imagine staying at an Airbnb that feels like a hotel but is relaxing without the humongous price, that is what you get with Nickels. Bed sandals, robes, snacks and beverages, make up remover, shampoo, conditioner and all the toiletries you would find in an hotel, led lighted bathroom mirror, AC in the villa and rooms. You get a full kitchen a big sofa, comfortable beds, very clean villa, did I mention it is a smart home. Nickels makes you want to come back to Jamaica as they treat you with appreciation. I loved my stay and have recommended them to many of my friends. They are a cut above the rest 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 friendly too 😊

    A fantastic home away from home. I had everything I needed and I felt comfortable. It was quiet and peaceful. I just needed to relax while taking a break from work and I got just that. The breakfast was superb! It’s very clean there, so I decided to leave a tip. Thank you for accommodating me 😊

    The journey from airport to the villa was very short and quick. Finding the villa was also very easy, check in was super and no hassle. Entering the villa you know this place is very clean and well kept, you could smell the cleanliness, if you know you know. The sofa was very big and the beds were very comfortable, they come fully recommended by myself and the kids. The bathroom is very very clean and I am big on areas in a space being clean. the outside space was very quiet and relaxing on the senses. There were plenty for the kids to do so that was a plus. The host made our stay so easy, Andrew ensured all our needs were catered to and he wa a listening ear. I will definitely stay here everything I am in Jamaica 🇯🇲

    Communication from booking to check out from the host was immaculate. All the information you will need for your stay and after stay is provided seamlessly. The community is a middle class gated community that has its own police station inside the gates, which is something I have never seen before, this gives an extra level of security. The community is very clean and quiet. You can see that there is sense of community togetherness. There is a lake and a children’s playground in the community as you make your way to the villa. Upon arrival, there are parking spaces for up to 4 cars on the property, which is really nice for groups. Check in was a breeze, I used my unique code to log on to the WiFi and to enter. This is where you will be amazed, upon opening the door of the villa, the pictures does it no justice. It is so beautiful and chic, like home but better, the aroma of the home tell you this place is very clean, even tiles seem to have a glossy look. The living room has a sofa set that can fit up to 6 persons and even has a bible for readers. The tv comes with Netflix, cable and local tv. The kitchen has all the things you would need on vacation, a very big refrigerator, a 6 burner stove and oven, microwave, dining table, a lot of cupboard space, kettle, Keurig coffee maker, toaster and much more. The bedroom is a delight, it gives you the feeling of somewhere to just unwind and rest after a short or long trip and just take a long nap. Very well staged and not crowds. The AC blows cold and the Nickels Garden Villas branded blankets are of a very high quality, I have to give them a thumbs up for that. The bathroom is ultra modern and the amenities given are top tier items that you would find in a 4 star hotel, that was a very good touch. The towels are of a very high quality. The hot water very nice and the lighted LED mirror and blow dryer are a very nice touch. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful. They gave recommendations and Jamaican snacks 😁

    I want to preface … these aren’t necessarily things I “didn’t like” about the property but will submit so that the next visitors aren’t “surprised.” (We didn’t mind as much per general understanding.) There is a little wear and tear on the house from lots of use-from visitors for example, loose faucets in the bathroom and kitchen as well as the toilet seat. We also didn’t have any EXTRA towels or sheets handy in case we needed some during our stay. (And/or It would have been nice to have a mini washing powder/liquid to wash laundry.) This is not a big deal but I understand this is a consideration for others. So I’d treat it more like a heads up. Also if you don’t already know this, the roads in Jamiaca can be rather bumpy-including leading up to your stay. So be prepared. Lastly, mosquitoes and flies will waste no time getting in take lots of bug spray/wipes.

    First, we really enjoyed that it was in a gated community. I personally enjoyed the porch area. It was nice to go out in the morning and sit in the peace of quiet and fresh air. Collectively my family and I enjoyed the aesthetics of the place. It was nicely decorated in comfort. My boys especially loved the comfort of their beds and the TVs during their downtime. (They made sure that I added that part) Nickels .. Villas was such a sweet hidden away place to call home while we were on holiday. Though you do have neighbors, there is still a balanced seclusion as they stay to themselves. You can open the door (minding the mosquito’s and flies) let in the fresh air, while playing some relaxing music. It has super convenient amenities; smart house capabilities(Alexa) A.C, microwave, coffee maker etc (You will need to get coffee: k-cups) and a camera outside on the property. I do not think anyone would regret staying at Nickels Gardens. We don’t regret it and will definitely be returning with opportunity.

    I have been to many Airbnb’s and I must say Nickels Garden Villas is #1 and I do not see anyone surpassing them. This place is a breath of fresh air with a very modern take on hosting. Even the light switches are futuristic, which shows attention to details. The gated community is also very quiet and the sofa and beds are among the most comfortable I have seen anywhere. No need for keys, you are given a personalised code to enter and even a personalised code for the Wi-Fi. We were assigned a personal driver throughout our trip which made life just that much easier. The only place I will stay while in Montego Bay is definitely Nickels ✅

    The villa is located in a gated community close to the city and it even has its own Police station inside the gated community. When you arrive at the villa, there is a driveway that is suitable for up to 2 cars with additional parking on the outside. The garden on the outside was blooming and the grass was well kept. We also saw some of the neighbours and they were very friendly. The community itself is very quiet, perfect for peace and relaxation. Inside the villa is very modern and is very clean. It has all the things you would find at home which made the stay super comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and the AC was very nice. Andrew attended to all our needs and ensured that we got our vacation off on the right foot and ended our vacation with a smile on our face. For the price, you get way more than you pay for and that was a definite plus . I have already booked 2 weeks in the new year and can’t wait to come back to Nickels
