Overview
Atop a small hill, the recently refurbished and fully staffed villa, Ionie, is the perfect way to capture an unforgettable Jamaican experience. This beautiful villa provides ample space and provides breath-taking views of the coast and
Caribbean Sea!
Ionie's large open space layout and room connection throughout the property means you will never be far from friends and family! Bathrooms and amenities are easily accessible and as the villa has been recently refurbished, guests will be accommodated with air conditioning in every bedroom and brand-new televisions in every bedroom, living room and the family room. The upholstery and furniture will invite you to snuggle into comfort. Wide glass doors and cedar louvres on the ground floor open up to a delightful veranda, where the silky soft Zoysia grass will invite you to walk bare feet and where evening meals are a must. The air is scented by the bougainvillea, hibiscus, ginger lilies, frangipani, bamboo, ferns, lavender and periwinkle which are swooned by the palm trees, offering shade to both guests and nature alike. Guests can relax with delicious cocktails, snacks and meals whilst they watch sunsets and sun rises, tropical lightning shows and cruise ships voyage into the distance! The veranda hugs the house and lead to the outside pool, which is spacious
and also offers splendid views, with a large space and furniture for guests to
relax with each other as Jamaicans do!
The ground floor hosts the first two bedrooms of this lovely house with its spacious rooms and double beds. If you have to wait for your fellow guests to get ready for the day, you can watch television in your room or take a dip as each room leads to the outside pool! If you need more sleeping space, the children's room also offers another bed!
The Master bedroom provides fantastic views of the sea and mountains beyond from the villa's exquisite position, to add to the feeling of paradise you will experience during your stay. A king-size bed along with a Jacuzzi tub in an en-suite bathroom mean that you can really get away on your vacation! The recent refurbishments have given Ionie a touch of exclusivity with the new electronically controlled gates protecting the villa and the numerous safety features included, such as locking features preventing children accessing the pool unsupervised, meaning this is a must stay for families!
The property includes a full rooster of staff so you will not have to worry about a single thing just as Bob sings! They are accommodating, helpful and all in all, wonderful so whatever your need may be, they are on hand! Ionie is located just 20 minutes to the Hip Strip of Montego Bay, where restaurants, bars, services, tours and activity centres can be found for any holiday makers desire.

The many waterslides, go-karts, and other kiddie entertainment will keep the little ones and the youthful adults happy for hours on end! Doctors Cave beach has shallow, calm waters for those with younger children, whilst being located to bars and restaurants to keep all ages refreshed and relaxed.
For more adventure on the water, the Blue Hole is a must visit along with the many falls that cascade around the lush green tropical wildlife of Jamaica. Here, older children can zip-line through the trees, or climb up the waterfalls. Everyone can enjoy swinging or jumping into lagoons to revitalise!
The island's history is fascinating and the many tour operators within the district are able to accommodate each different child's imagination!
