Distance from town but I enjoyed the serenity.

Wonderful host. They above and beyond to accommodate me. I will definitely refer friends and family members. I would definitely visit again. The meals were fabulous. I appreciate the attention to detail.

Wish there had been a menu for breakfast or some fruit offered. Everything was fried or had fish in it. I can't eat fried foods and my husband doesn't care for fish. We felt awful that the hostess made us food that we didn't eat.

The room was spacious and they had plenty of towels. The pool was clean and area very secluded. The shower was refreshing with good pressure. Hostess was very nice. AC in room was excellent. The balcony was small but adequate and gave us some great views.

It’s very beautiful

Stayed in March 2025

It was very quiet, at times I felt like it was just me experiencing this stay, but I guess that is just first time jitters, from staying in a new place. I would recommend renting a vehicle , if you want to visit any of the historic buildings and beaches, as tourists or factor in tours before booking your stay.

The beauty of the property, overlooking the city lights at night, is an absolutely treasure, I couldn’t have asked for better scenery express!! The vintage and rustic furniture made you feel like you stepped back into Victorian time, I absolutely loved everything about it!! I was taken aback every time I stepped into the living area. The owners Mr. P and Ms. Joyce were the most genuine, amazing hostesses I could have asked for, they always made me laugh, sharing some their life experiences, they made me feel at home, and they were very accommodating to my request.

Although it was clean I am quite OCD and felt that the property could have done with a deep cleans as the rugs are beautiful but looked very worn. There was also dust found under some furniture when I laid on the floor to stretch or workout. The property is also in need of a generator for when the power goes although Peter and joy was very accommodating and had ways around it a working generator is advised That and I card machine at the property to make payment more efficient.

I am going to start this by saying that Peter and Joy are amazing host and such lovely people. The home felt like a family home from another era with amazing wood work, high ceilings, large rooms and Arts work downstairs. I felt like I was in a movie. Joys breakfast was divine, expectational, healthy and very Jamaican every morning. She took in account my dietary requirements and even cooke due a different meal when she had other quest during my stay. I felt well looked after and cared for. The house is located very close the Hellshire beach although I didn't visit as I have been there several times. I was there during the hurricane and I felt very safe.

Can't think of anything.

Joy and Peter treated me like royalty, they went above and beyond to try to make my stay comfortable and to meet my needs. I travel alone so it is important to feel safe and I felt very safe and protected with them. Joy is a great chef and the meals were delicious. Peter is former military, as am I so it was fun to share those memories. It was a short stay but I felt like they are family and I miss them, I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon!

I just want to say thanks to Joy and Peter for their services and accommodations. It felt like we were staying with family. They are very warm and welcoming and am really glad we chose this place. Also great location close to the beach.

Peter and Joy were amazing hosts, introducing us to all things Jamaican from their tranquil hilltop haven. Peter took us to the local mall and Fort Clarence beach (10 minutes away and had a small entry fee but felt very safe and lifeguarded) while Joy served up incredible breakfasts of ackee and saltfish, callaloo, fish fritters, omelettes and bagels. We never had the same thing twice for breakfast in our 10-night stay. We had the largest bedroom and bathroom we have ever stayed in with views to both the sea and the mountains. The pool was fab with a proper deep end! The nearest eating places at night are 15 minutes drive away in Portmore. I would recommend hiring a car, which we did, if you are going to venture further afield. We did day trips to Port Royal (1hr drive); the blue mountains (with Jamaica Cultural Tours of Kingston who were great); the Bob Marley museum in Kingston (on his birthday and 40 mins drive) and Dunns River falls at Ocho Rios (1hr drive). Really enjoyed our chats with Peter and Joy about their life adventures which they readily shared. If you want to get off the beaten tourist track and have a more authentic Jamaican experience then El Cielo is perfect.

We wish we had more time to explore the beach and areas.

We love this house. Mrs Joy and Mr Peter made us feel right at home. Mrs Joy was very gracious and kind. The house was beautifully decorated and filled with lovely timeless pieces of furniture. I love my room which came with a hot tub. And the beds were so comfortable. The pool was perfectly chilled for the hot Jamaica weather. We had full access to the kitchen which was loaded with supplies.We felt very safe and are already planning our next visit. Perfect spot for our wedding.

Great Home, as in what you read about in Great English Literature. We felt as though we were Duke and Duchess surveying out Jamaican Properties. The furniture is amazing, hand carved and highly polished

The large room, the pool, the food, the facilities, the inhouse driver, all is VIP about this place. Luxury accommodation, really. A place we recommend, if you want to stay in Portmore. Fort Clarence beach is a must. Thank you for making us feel welcome, in this home away from home.

We loved it all!

Peter and Joy who run the place are marvellous. As is Troy who works for them and Mitzy, the cab driver too. Wonderful people! Big love to you all. Best Jamaican breakfasts and you can get dinner if you order early enough. Wonderful beds and such a great view from our balcony.We were there for a family funeral and were close to Spanish Town and the chapel. It 's also really near the coast and Hellshire Beach - grear froed fish and lobster! Mitzy was on hand to drive us wherever we needed to go. My cousin and had a heavenly stayat El Cielo! We will definitely return
