My husband and I stayed at Chrisanns during Summer 2012 along with our two teenage daughters and experienced an unforgettable holiday. Chrisanns is conveniently located on the 'Northcoast' and easily reached by car from anywhere in Jamaica The accommodation was a self contained studio apartment with separate kitchenette and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances one would expect to have at home. Stocking up the kitchen was very easy as there is a supermarket just across the road and if you were too lazy to cook there was also a lovely restaurant and cocktail bar directly opposite the complex. The room was large enough to hold a King size bed plus two single beds. It is situated on the ground floor and has a convenient sliding door which opens onto a very 'inviting' glistening communal pool. The pool was well maintained and was always clean. On leaving the apartment you can walk along the pool deck and then down a few stairs and arrive at the beach front within one minute. The beach itself is an enclosed Bay which makes swimmers, bathers and water sports a lot safer as you were not fully exposed to the open sea! In fact we felt safe enough to 'chill out' in the apartment a lot while our girls enjoyed both the pool and beach by themselves at times.. The Baileys were excellent hosts and were very accommodating in every way, making our stay very enjoyable as it had a sense of home away from home. Muriel (Mrs. Bailey, the owner) even telephoned when we arrived to ensure that we had everything we needed. The staff was very helpful, welcoming and friendly... ...can't wait to get back there again!

 The service was quite warm, accommodating and responsive. The apartment had a very homely feel and with the swimming pool just outside your glass doors, you can't help but wake up with a grin on your face.

Sure, It was amazing the scenery is beautiful, restaurant Glenns was tasty and convenient, ( I even got a free slice of cake for my birthday)  we even rented a nice car from Exodus Car Rental which was right beside Glenns. The staff was very helpful and our room was always clean. I am recommending Villa Criss to my relatives in the States. Villa Criss- Safe, Secure, Serene and Satisfying at a Sensational Price. Planning for next year already :0

"Staying at Villa Criss was a easy transition from the time we booked. The location is perfect as it's close enough to main tourist attractions of Ocho Rios and situated within walking distance to stores/food establishments and the atmosphere exactly what we expected. The place is spacious, clean and a home charm feeling. The owner was professional and assisted us in all ways possible to ensure that the booking and payment was a stress free event. We hope to rent this pool/ocean side villa in April 2013 and look forward to dealing with Muriel again." Sincerly Shannon Clement/Kirk Whyte, Toronto, Ontario- Canada.  

I stayed here in August 2011 for nine days. I had a nice studio apartment.I don't remember the room number but the owner's name is Mrs. Bailey. The room was very accomodating for one person and enough room for a couple. It was fully furnished with all appliances in the kitchen (full size fridge, electric coffee pot, microwave, blender, stove). The staff was wonderful. I was there alone and could not have asked for a better place to be. My taxi driver took me anywhere I wanted to go and stayed with me while exchanging my money, buying a cell phone, etc. He took to a great restaurant every day and the food was so tasty and a great price. My room was pool side and only steps away from the beach. It is a small private beach area but the view is beautiful. I felt safe and secure at all times here. I love Jamaica and have stayed at the all-inclusive in Trelawney, I have stayed in Negril at a beachfront place, and I have stayed at a not so good place in Kingston but Chris Anns has left me yearning to go back and spend another vacation of nothing but peace and relaxation!

We have been taking vacations at Chrisanns since 1991. We have ALWAYS had a wonderful vacation experience at the resort. The resort is easily accessible, never crowded and is clean and well maintained. It is close to many attractions - including Dunns River Falls, Mystic Mountain and Dolphin Cove.
 We like to be close to nature  and this is the feeling we get at Villa Criss.
