Overview

The entrance foyer is a celebration of exotic ferns with pleasing tropical flowers brought in fresh from the gardens in anticipation of your arrival. From all indications, the stage has been set to welcome you in true Jamaican hospitality: warm smiles, gracious service, an inviting circular pool and a gorgeous living room mark your first moments of initiation into this private paradise.

For friends and families alike, Casuarina’s living room is the place to be reinvigorated. The lively, colourful décor sets the mood for days of endless relaxation. To sit in this room is to feel refreshed while reclaiming all your senses in enjoyment of the natural beauty of the setting. There is a flat screen television available with surround sound, as well as DVD and CD players and the villa is equipped with wireless high-speed Internet access. Children will relish the adventure of sunny gardens bordered from below by tall, arching palm trees, banana trees and, of course, Casuarina trees.

Dining options are determined by your whim — whether for an elegant evening or a light meal served al fresco by the poolside.

As one of the original villas, Casuarina was built on a premier lot with complete privacy and some of the best views in Tryall. From the seating around the outdoor fire pit there are spectacular views of the ocean, Montego Bay, Round Hill, and Tryall Golf Course. Casuarina is suited for all visitors. A lovely circular pool is located in the middle of the house with access from each bedroom. The large main living area has a large screen TV and comfortable seating. The bathrooms have been updated throughout the villa, and each bedroom has its own television. The warm and professional Casuarina staff has been with the owners for several years and they are often mentioned as a “favorite” in Tryall.
