Negril Jamaica - Nirvana Testimonials Posted by Ken: In Reply to: Anyone stayed at Nirvana in Negril? Our group of 7 sometimes 9 has been staying at Nirvana every other
year, this year (November 20 - December1st) will be our 4th time. The
place and the people are great! You are in the center of the 7 mile beach.
Next door is the White Sands and they have a great bar and bar tender
(Dennis), great dirty bananas. The Taxi driver (Breezy) is very good
and trust worthy, he will also get you a good rate on $ exchange. I hope
you have a great time, (I'm sure you will).
Hi All! We are departing for JA September 29. We had done the all inclusives and have stayed in houses before. Yet, we have not stayed in Negril. We plan to stay at Nirvana, anyone have any insights about Nirvana? Yes, I've stayed there twice. It's wonderful, you will love it. The Gottliebs are very gracious hosts and they don't lie when they tell you to "just ask". We stayed in the three bedroom cottage close to Manley Blvd. We had the ladies come in and cook Jamaican breakfast for us one morning and it was wonderful, they came in while we were still sleeping and we woke up to the soft voices of the women talking about their men :) and the wonderful smells of coffee and breakfast being made. You can't beat it. We came out into the dining area and were greeted with "Good Morning" and hot Blue Mountain coffee followed by Ackee and Saltfish along with fresh fruit and juice. The gardens are especially wonderful and you could spend hours just wandering around the property taking pictures. They have a full staff there that is just waiting for you to ask for something, they will take you into town, go shopping for you and if you call ahead, you can have your refrigerator stocked with Red Stripe so they are cold when you arrive. Our second stay we were in the two bedroom cottage a little closer to the beach. We plan to stay there again someday, but we're not done exploring Negril yet. When you get there, tell Stan and Lonnie that Dick and Estelle say Hi! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy the
rest of your time in Jamaica and watch a sunset or two for me. See you ASAP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lynn, Sophia and Juliet were always busy and liked the little things daily thatwe left for them. I have never seen a place so clean. I used to clean housesand I know that I'm a picky person, and this was cleaner then my own house.They were always busy and singing while they clean. Michael was very professional and nice too. The night security guy (sorry, I forgot his name) helped my husband open a coconut and drink the water from it. Just because of that, and the fact that no one asked us for any money for anything there, is why he said we will only stay there! Who did the oil paintings in the honeymoon suite? The painting on the left of the bed was my all time favorite! Worth every penny and we wish we had been there the whole time. The cliff scene was not for us at all. I thought I would miss not having a pool there, but I never even thought of it until we left. If you have anyone who might want to ask someone who has stayed there about Nirvana, you can send them my e-mail address and I would be more then happy to inform them of what a pleasent stay we had. There was even another Lynn Barrett! We had friends staying at Native Son Villa and we met Angie who used to work for you. She had only good things to say about you and Nirvana. Thanks again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEVER AFRAID TO SPEAK HIS MIND, NEVER AFRAID TO DIRTY HIS HANDS, NEVER AFRAID TO GO DOOR TO DOOR, THE NEGRIL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE COMMUNITY OWE HIM MUCH. OVER MANY, MANY, YEARS.

Sincerely, PS- tell Michael we say hello and thank him again for us, and look for my trip report on the Negriltoday board! I always read your postings!! Take care!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to thank you for having such a lovely place. It is, as the young people say, "Da Bomb". I, Cassye ("Stephanie") and my cousin loved it tremendously. I have stayed at several places but Nirvana is definitely the all time spot. Your staff makes the word "hospitality" look very weak in the dictionary. They truly went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. You should be so proud of them for their hard work to continue to make your place the tops, especially when you are not there they continue the professionalism and courtesy that you require of them. Lonnie, you could not have chosen a more attention to detail property manager as you have with Michael. He and his son were so.......words just can't describe how he treats all of his guests. I have seen him from near and far interacting with the guests and because of his great personality and character it allows the guest to feel comfortable and secure that we are in great hands. Bunny and Burton were outstanding also, they made you feel as though you were in your own yard at home and that there was nothing to worry about as long as they were around. I could go on and on but there is just so much to say to describe my stay. Your gardens are outstanding. Please tell all of them hello from us and we hope to return in September. One Love and Much Respect - Sheena --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me first apologize for not writing sooner. It was very very difficult to come back to the "real world" after our stay at Nirvana. I just threw myself back into things so, I didn't have to think about what we left. Nirvana was everything we could have hoped for and more. The moment
we When people asked what we did on our trip there wasn't much for me to say. We spent many a days in the cottage or in the chairs in the garden relaxing, reading, etc... I can't remember the last time I listened to the rain fall. Spectacular!! The staff is probably what we remember most. Michael is the best. We never wanted for anything!!! His son was a delight. We enjoyed his company alot. Jeff would play frisbee again with him any day. The ladies were wonderful. Breezy was great as well. He picked us up and gave us our first piece of Jamaican hospitality. You have got something spectacular down there. Don't ever change it!!! We knew from the 1st day that we would never stay anywhere other then Nirvana. We didn't even look at anything else. No need to mess with perfection. Christina Ortega --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had the most wonderful sensuous vacation of my life.We loved Nirvana, the grounds the beachfront and our cottage, it was clean and very pretty with the wood and tasteful decorations. The ceiling fans are terrific and we did not need air conditioning even though it was July. We took your advice & went to Mayfield falls and it was spectacular....thanks for all the great tips. Spent some time on Henry's boat snorkeling and picnicking. We really liked the food and the night life in Negril. I want to come back next July when the beaches are empty like they were and when your rates are so low. Would you ever consider doing a lay away plan for customers who want to come for the same week next year? Thanks for having such a nice resort and such a nice staff. I felt safe with Burton and Bonnie always watching and running off her do wells. We will be back again and so will several other friends of ours who heard us bragging about our trip. Best regards,
Well I am at work now back in the real world. I can't believe it. We had a wonderful time in Negril. You have a little piece of paradise in Nirvana, we absolutely loved it. The place is beautiful and your staff is wonderful. Leon greeted us at the airport with a huge smile that made us feel welcome. On the ride to Nirvana we became very fond of Leon and planned to make some trips with him and told him that he would be our man for transportation while in Negril. He was great. One morning we awoke to find some fresh fish in the freezer that Leon had picked up for us, it was the extra lengths that everyone took for us that really made us feel special. He was very patient with us as we were always running late and had lots of things to do. The on grounds staff was wonderful. Michael greeted us when we arrived and told us anything that we needed just come to him, we did and he held up to his word. He was great, he definitely showed us just how true your motto is, "Just ask". He also cooked a couple of wonderful dinners for us. Lynn was also sooo good to us. She did such a wonderful job of cleaning the cottage in the mornings, and a few times we had her cook breakfast for us. She sneaked in so quietly we never knew she was there until the smell of the wonderful food awoke us. She was always so happy and always laughing, she was a fun person to talk to, we really enjoyed having her around. Bonnie, as everyone else at Nirvana was wonderful too. As Michael he told us if we needed anything to just come to him or Michael. We set up our snorkeling trip with Bonnie. We felt very safe with him around, there were hustlers all up and down the beach but with Bonnie watching over us nobody even attempted to bother us when he was around. He kept a very watchful eye over us and our belongings and like Lynn and Michael was always happy and enjoyable toconversate with. I only regret that Bonnie was not around when we left to bid farewell. I never met the night watchman but Ian did and he said he was as nice and helpful as everyone else at Nirvana. Well I could just keep going and going, I have never been treated so well when vacationing in my life. I will definitely come back. I will always refer you with the highest regards, my parents are already considering planning a trip. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! I don't think I can ever say that enough. Jason Morgan
Hi Lonnie, I don't even know where to begin...Dave and I have returned to Montreal totally
new relaxed people! You have a paradise that words can't even begin
to describe and we had the best vacation of our lives at Nirvana!
We have traveled to many different Caribbean and European destinations and we can honestly say that we experienced the time of Miss Lynn took such great care of us that I wanted to bring her home with me! What a sweet lady! To sum things up, we would have loved to meet you. Our experience at Nirvana will be cherished day after day until, G-d willing, we will see all of our friends back next year at Nirvana...Your staff will be missed and so will Nirvana! Thanks so much for the memories... Be well and enjoy the rest of your summer! With Best Regards, Lisa & David Yadgard We will be happy to supply you with other detailed references of our many satisfied customers upon your request.
