Jamaica Villas For Caribbean Vacations
Many travelers assume that staying at one of the many Jamaica villas along the coast is like a vacation rental. It’s actually quite different for many reasons. For starters, these villas are more like palaces than a home. Also, the facilities, amenities and service found in a staffed villa would make a luxury hotel or resort seem like a cheap dump by comparison.
Commonly found amenities include air conditioning, internet, television, outdoor pools and a private beach or beach club. Some of the more upscale properties have facilities like helipads, fitness centers and a spa. Sports courts for tennis may also be available, and the bigger villas will also have function space for conferences and weddings.
The best part about these Jamaica villas is the staff. Guests should expect nothing short of an army to take care of everything from preparing and serving meals and drinks, housekeeping, laundry and transport. This means a chef and butler, housekeeping staff and a driver. If necessary, there’ll also be a nanny waiting to take kids off the parents’ hands. The chef will even arrange for the groceries and fresh local catch.
Think about it – unlike a hotel room, this is a private residence. But there are no dishes to be washed or kids to be bathed. There is nothing to do except laze around and enjoy the brilliant tropical weather, the ocean view and the vacation. If guests can manage to tear themselves away from the pool and the beach, there’s plenty of other things to enjoy in Ocho Rios, Negril, Montego Bay and the other Jamaican towns.
Late evening, when the sun goes down and everything looks spookily beautiful, the butler comes up to announce that dinner is served. There’s something to be said for being able to dress casual when there’s a uniformed butler serving a candle light outdoor dinner by the pool. As for the meal, well, let’s just say that it’s not often that one gets to eat curried goat with coconut shrimp and jerk chicken.
For the kids, there’s a whole world of fun and loving care – which doesn’t have to come from the parents. The chef will prepare everything from burgers & fries to macaroni & cheese, pizzas and shakes for the children and salads for the health-conscious parent. Typical breakfast fare served in Jamaica villas includes banana plantains, pancakes, eggs & bacon, or cereal along with fresh fruits and freshly squeezed orange juice.
The nanny takes charge of the kids, and makes sure they don’t stray too far or dig in too deep into the beach. Parents are, therefore, free to spend the day hanging from a hammock or lounging on a poolside deckchair. For those with energy to burn or a golf handicap to improve, there’s plenty of golf courses and tennis courts all over Jamaica.
The beach is good for all kinds of activities during the day, including water sports and horseback riding on the beach. But the fun part usually begins after the sun goes down, with beach parties and barbeques. Every resort town in Jamaica also offers lots of urban pleasures, including shops & galleries, bars, restaurants and live music.
Whether it is the Caribbean weather or the beaches or the warm hospitality, it’s a fact that many Caribbean villas attract guests to come back again and again. With all the luxury and privacy and incredible service, it’s an offer that’s a bit hard to refuse or find elsewhere. Whatever the reason, the bottom-line is that Jamaica has a habit of making sure vacationers go back very, very happy.
Since their inception, they have created and sustained an exceptionally high level of expertise, experience, Caribbean villa selection and attention to detail.
