On a recent trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica, I was fortunate enough to stay in the incredibly luxurious Villa 16 at Round Hill Hotel. The impeccably manicured grounds leading to my secluded room were like something out of the Swiss Family Robinson . . . but with high-end services.

Walking in, I was taken aback by the grandness of the spaces while feeling incredibly cozy, tucked away from reality. I walked through the front room’s wide-open entrance and could see clear through to the infinity pool outside. On either side of the hallway on my walk to the pool were two private rooms, one on each side, housing fellow guests staying with me.

Each room had its own private bedroom, open-concept sitting room and outdoor dining space. Surrounding the communal infinity pool for me and the other guests was a balcony overlooking the water and remainder of the resort.

I followed the walkway to my own private suite, just off the main villa, complete with my own infinity pool and sitting area. The space was beautiful and way too much for one person. Downstairs were two additional suites with individual pools and a shared game room complete with a ping-pong table and lounge chairs. The final suite on top of the villa had a private stairway and balcony.

I met my fellow travelers for breakfast — cooked to order after we left out lists of chosen items for our butler — and we chatted about the amazing accommodations. The resort is something out of a movie, specifically How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

The dream-like accommodations, attentive service and pristine grounds make for a perfect couple’s retreat, family getaway or relaxing girls’ trip.
