Cooyah - TryallTryall, Pimento Place, JamaicaCoo yah is patois for "Look here". When you look, you find a golfer's paradise: a beautiful private, 4 bedroopm home just steps from the 13th green and 14th tee of the world-class Tryall Club course, with a long view of the velvet fairway rolling down to the blue Caribbean Sea.
Interiors are cheerful, tasteful and immaculate - rainbow shades of soft yellow, green, aqua and pink over cool floors of salmon-hued tile. A distinctive architectural feature of Coo Yah is the repetition of wide louvers in every room and passageway, creating an extraordinary sense of space and Caribbean lifestyle.
Centrally located is the 66' private pool and long terrace with plenty of seating in sun or shade. The terrace is fringed in romantic pink pandora and lilac wisteria.
Delicious home-cooked meals can be served in the pretty inside dining room, but most guests prefer to dine on the spacious 80' al fresco verandah for its lovely view. The modern kitchen includes granite countertops, a six-burner gas range, microwave and adjoining butler's pantry. Chef Angela delights guests with her hot artichoke dip, pate, chestnuts wrapped in bacon blanket, cheese souffle, (a must-have for lunch), sweet and sour pork, pepper steak, stuffed snapper, lemon bread and rum cake (in addition, of course, to her Jamaican menus including everyone's favorite, jerk chicken). Artfully coordinated table service varies with each meal.

Complimentary shuttles or Coo Yah's own golf carts transport guests from the villa's front door to all locations within the resort.

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.
