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.
Every villa is also staffed to the teeth with everything from a chef to a butler, housekeeping staff and a driver. A laundress and nannies are available on call, if necessary. Even the seafood is freshly caught locally and delivered to the chef each morning.
Life is good as a guest in Jamaica villas. All that guests do is laze around poolside or out on the patio with the butler hovering around with tall, cool drinks. If a guest can summon up enough energy to get out of a hammock or a poolside deckchair, then there’s plenty of things to see and do in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril and the other tourist hotspots.
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.
While the nanny keeps a close watch on the kids who’ll be digging up the whole beach and building sand-castles, parents can enjoy the vacation. This means enjoying the villa and the beach, or the golf courses and tennis courts, of which there are many all over the place. Not to mention zip lines and other fun adventures.
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.
The Caribbean’s beauty combined with Jamaican food and hospitality is something worth experiencing once in a while, if not every year. It helps make the vacation all that much more memorable if guests have Caribbean villas with all its facilities, staff and privacy. Bottomline is that Jamaica can’t help but treat visitors to a good time.
