Meet Norma
Outgoing, Creative, Friendly
I like to have conversations during a meal, so breakfast with guests is really important. That is when we can leisurely discuss the day's activities, over a large, delicious breakfast.
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

The whole family were great hosts! We spent only 4 nights (21 Feb 2016 – 25 Feb 2016). Norma and her whole family are amazing people.
They did for us everything that we needed to make our vacation enjoyable. They gave us good advice about beaches, shops and restaurants. Their daughter, Marisa took us by car to the shopping centre, and to the beach and showed us interesting places. Every morning Norma and her daughters cooked the absolutely most perfect local breakfast. We tasted many (for us unknown) fruits and typical Jamaican foods.
The house is very nice...beautiful patio for breakfast with a view of the sea. Our room was comfortable and clean.
Staying there was a fantastic experience, one we will never forget. We felt Like members of the Family.
If we ever go back to Montego Bay, we would certainly stay there again.
We recommend everybody to stay in this beautiful guesthouse.
Thank you Norma, Croswell, Marisa, Pauline and Marcel.Host reply

I ended up spending (1) week with Norma and her family...and left there feeling like a new member of the family! Each morning I was pleasantly greeted with a smile and a colourful, delicious and healthy breakfast...a perfect start to any day! Our conversations were meaningful, filled with laughter and understanding. Norma and her daughter made sure that my needs were met, that I was comfortable and safe going out and coming in. I look forward to my second visit and a definite recommendation for anyone travelling to Montego Bay. The location is close to the city centre yet far enough away! Nice view too!
