Following Seas – Tryall

Fairwinds is a beautiful four-bedroom, private home with a magnificent sea view. Meticulous attention to design and comfort have resulted in a superb home away from home, Mahogany parquet floors, cable televisions and sound system, sunken Roman baths, a first-class chef plus all the amenities of the exclusive Tryall Club combine to distinguish Fairwinds as one of the truly fine vacation homes of the Caribbean.

From the spacious living room, glass panels open to the upstairs dining balcony showcasing a magnificent panorama of the manicured golf course and Caribbean Sea. Here, candlelight dinners are served with the romance of lighted palm trees dotting the hillside and the sparkling lights of cruise ships and Montego Bay sparkling across the water.

Guests may enjoy cable television, VCR, and a library of videos and CD’s. Peruse the bookshelves or enjoy an old-fashioned game night with many selections available. Fairwinds has a second phone line for those who wish to connect to the Internet, so remember to bring your laptop.

Outdoor stairways from the living room and three bedrooms lead to the large pool and poolside bar and lounge with icemaker, cable television, stereo system, telephone and fish-filled grotto … all under dramatic stone arches. (Children love to feed the fish.)

Lunch is typically served outside on the lower level under the protective shade of a large ficus tree. Three acres of gardens host many species of tropical flora including the orchids that surround the pool.

In-house greens fees are offered to Fairwinds guests. The resident pro offers workshops and private lessons. Complimentary shuttles or Fairwinds’ own golf cart transport guests from the villa’s front door to all locations within the resort.

Spend days on the sunny beach while waiters serve food and drink from the beach bar. Play tennis on nine Nova Cushion courts, some lighted for night play. Jog the marked trail; use the fitness and Internet rooms.
Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat and sunfish sailing are complimentary. Glass bottom boats, charter fishing, a boat to the reef and any captained craft attract various fees.

Tryall is truly one of the distinctive private clubs of the world.
