4/18/03  Hi Henri, "We were married at the Grand Lido (Negril, Jamaica and the Caribbean's # 1 rated all inclusive resort for approx. last 9 years) in March of 1997.  It is a Super Clubs all inclusive resort that advertises most luxurious accommodations and impeccable service.   After staying at Villa San Cove I am sure we will never return to the resort (Grand Lido).   The service at your villa was much more personalized, and it was so interesting to experience the real Jamaica instead of an Americanized resort version.  It was much better to have an entire house to ourselves instead of just one room, not to mention our own staff, boat(s) and ocean gazebo.  You were right when you told me how very beautiful the area is.   We will definitely take you up on your offer and return (Next time) to the Chateau en Exotica as soon as we are able".   "Our first evening we were able to get to see Chateau en Exotica, it was absolutely breathtaking!   What a gorgeous view and such a peaceful, beautiful paradise, so many little birds, when we return we intend to stay there although we would miss the little glass bottom boat"   "Thank you again for providing such a fantastic vacation for us"  Michelle

8/24/02 "Its been a non stop party for the past 5 days".  We are a group of 14 here in celebration of my reaching the ripe old age of 40 (40 in age, but 30 in spirit when it comes to pool parties held at Chateau en Exotica).  My dear wife coordinated the excursion, including my dearest friends from various periods of my life.  What an achievement for her as this trip tops the scales for the vacation that "BRINGS THE PARTY EVERYWHERE IT GOES"  "I have been "BLOWN AWAY" with the surprises" "to my dear wife Margaret THANK YOU !!! IT'S BEEN THE BEST BIRTHDAY BASH IMAGINABLE! we rented BOTH the CHATEAU & sister house SAN COVE, partying back and forth from the two houses has truly shown us the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for large groups, as there seems to be SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TO TRULY ENJOY - For me the best parts have been the pool party's, Reach falls, the river rafting (its a total gas with 7 rafts filled with your best friends) and bar none the EXCELLENT FOOD at both houses"  Nathan Chang, Margaret, Terry, Rhonda, Alton, Candy, Claire, Michael, Tony, Adriana, Lisa, K.
