The setting is breathtaking: five sunny acres of landscaped grounds adorned by an abundance of palm trees, bougainvillea, and hibiscus ... large private pool ... vegetable garden ... and a wooded grotto with an antique stone terrace for sunset cocktails. After sunset, the view transforms from brilliant blue water to the mesmerizing beauty of the sea at night, glimmering with reflections of cruise ships and the romantic night lights of Montego Bay nine miles away.
Delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the Pharos cook are served on Royal Worcester china on the open-air poolside verandah. As a special treat on moonlit nights, meals are served on the terrace beyond the pool overlooking the romance of lights reflecting across the bay. Memorable dinners here can last for hours as guests relax into the heady ambiance of good food and drink, excellent service, and a magnificent setting.
The interiors of this spacious Colonial manor have been refreshed with Laura Ashley fabrics, pretty pastel wall colors, and renovation of the kitchen and all bathrooms. The large living room opens to the covered dining terrace, casual sitting area, and wet bar. Just beyond are the spacious open terrace and pool. Four bedrooms and the study (which can accommodate one or two extra guests) are on the main level. A mahogany staircase leads upstairs to two more spacious bedrooms.
Because the bedrooms are configured in three separate areas (two in the east wing, three in the west wing, and two upstairs), Pharos is as appropriate for small groups of only 2, 4, or 6 guests as it is for a full house of 14. It does not feel like “too much house” for one or two couples and is wonderful for families ...............
“Our week at Pharos was absolutely our most wonderful family vacation ever. My parents, John, and I spent relaxed days doing whatever we wanted to do while the kids were totally entertained with all the games and countless hours in that big pool. The staff treated our children with incredible loving care! The whole family is counting the days till we return to Pharos.”

Pharos Summertime Reviews
Thank you so much for the email and checking in. It was an incredible experience and the staff was amazing. We wanted for nothing, the meals were delicious. We had everything we needed and every single staff member was so so kind. Thank you
The driver and van provided made our stay and enabled us to go on several excursions feeling comfortable and safe. It was great knowing we had security and Oliver the butler made sure to secure the house at night and worked hand in hand with Marvelle the housekeeper, Marcia the cook and the rest of the staff to ensure we had meals served on time. Meals that were delicious and tasty with lots of fresh fruit.
If I had to make any suggestions, the villa could do with some updating, particularly the bathrooms, and living room.
Thanks again for all your help.

We felt very relaxed in this resort-style paradise! This is “our” spot! It was great seeing the staff again – no changes in their excellent service. Oliver was on his “A” game – terrific food! Omar, as always, so very gracious, and Marvette keeps things going! The mattresses were very comfortable, and the place looked great!
Ted S.
The staff is gracious - Omar and Oliver are gentle souls, the cleaning staff always greeted us with huge smiles and the gardener climbed trees to pick ripe mangos for us. We love the villa! There are so many activities available to guests - tennis, badminton, basketball, croquet, darts - all fun! The outdoor pool bar is great and the views are beautiful. We absolutely loved the house, the staff and everything about our villa vacation. We are already planning on when and how to return.
Ted S.
The staff at Summertime were all wonderful! They made us feel like we were at home. Always smiling, and going above and beyond for everyone. This is a beautiful property with great character. We just can’t say enough about how wonderful our 2-week stay has been!
Craig R.
Our welcome back to Summertime was all we had dreamed of since our last visit. The warmth of the staff along with the many comforts of the villa are what keeps us returning. We are delighted at having a tennis court and Summertime is perfectly suited for us. The staff work beautifully together and we are so grateful to have had this respite.
Mary D.
The staff is fabulous! We were taken care of by one and all. The staff is so attentive and extremely hard working. We were amazed at their attention to every detail and their friendliness. We loved every minute of our stay at Summertime. This is the perfect spot for a family get together.

We loved the villa, you can tell it wasn't brand new but it was spacious and the pool and the grounds were beautiful. The staff was super wonderful---we especially loved Oliver, Marcia, Sam, and Marvette. The meals were amazing and we loved shopping at the supermarket and fruit market with Marcia.
Our driver, Sherdon was amazing. He was a very good and professional driver, as well as super nice, funny enjoyable, and knowledgeable----he really made our trip. We learned so much from him and it was delightful to talk with him. it was so great to have the big van for our use.
I would love to return one day. I don't think it is in our plan or budget for next year. but hopefully one day!
Thanks so much!

Excellent accommodations. Will come back again and recommend to any family and friends coming to Jamaica. Great place with great staff. This is the place to come if you want to relax and be at peace for a week or so. I can't say enough about the food. Oh my God!! The food was so tasty we didn't want to stop eating. I don't think I've ever eaten so much food. From the purchasing, preparing, serving of the food, all excellently done. I want to thank Dwight, Oliver, Marvett, Niesha, Molly, Rico, and the Gardener for making this one of the most memorable times.

The food was so nice. Oliver always exceeded our expectations with his meals and the presentation of the table by Omar was always a special dining experience. Our rooms were always immaculate and pretty. The grounds were always well kept and maintained. We will definitely consider coming back to this villas as everyone made us feel at home and welcomed.
Thanks to our Driver Binns for his patience with us at time to take us wherever we wanted to go. Everyone had a great time and want to come back again.

Your staff made my daughter's wedding more than she anticipated. It was perfect! The decorations and all other extras we requested were done promptly and with pride. Your staff is the best!
Elean party
The accommodations were beautifully decorated and immaculately kept. The bathroom and bedrooms were spotless. We loved having the beds made and turned down. We have truly been spoiled and are not looking forward to going home and having to do our own laundry.
Every member of the staff was exceptional. They were friendly and seemed to enjoy having us as guests as much as we enjoyed staying with them. They were great.

The food was excellent and included a nice variety. All of the rooms were lovely and very comfortable. The grounds were gorgeous and the view of Montego Bay was beautiful! We especially enjoyed the pool...as we spent a lot of time by it!
The driver Phillip was also very accommodating and enjoyable. He took very good care of us and offered suggestions on places we might enjoy.
We all would highly recommend Pharos Villa and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for all of your assistance and please feel free to use us for references.
Nestler party
Everyone had a great time all week long. Our friends said they had never had such great food and service in all their lives! Leon did an amazing job decorating the grounds and finding a little band and guitar player to make the reception a blast. Roderick decorated the car so cute for our wedding ride and picked out the music for after the ceremony. Hyacinth did a phenomenal job all week with food (The cake was beautiful!!) and menus as well as running the wedding reception. Yvonne and Dave worked tirelessly keeping up on the food service. The cleaning and making sure we had everything we needed. Oliver sang beautifully at the ceremony and he and Paul were great with everyone and did a fabulous job as well. Marvette was great with the details, spending and information. We simply can't say enough.
We doubled the staffs usual tips and tipped Leon, and Roderick and Robert the driver as well. We left our microphone for Paul's church to use, and to share with Oliver to practice his singing. Please let them know how thankful we are to all of them for their hospitality. Feel free to use us as a reference for anyone considering a stay or event at your beautiful villa. We will surely be back!!!
