Villas

For some couples, the idea of a real getaway is a private villa, without other guests. the two of you get the treat of feeling like you’re living at the destination in your own home, except for the occasional visit by a cook or maid who is there to meet your special requests, to introduce you to island cuisine, and to make you feel pampered in what really is your home away from home.

There’s no better solution for couples who want to enjoy a vacation together with plenty of room.

Like resorts, villas come in different budget categories, but generally are more pricey than a hotel or resort stay. Also, you should not assume that every villa comes with the range of facilities you might expect from a resort.

Before you select a villa, check on some details:

  • Is maid service offered? Many villas offer maid service before your arrival and after your departure; additional cleaning can be arranged for a surcharge. At other properties, you may have daily maid service. Check with your villa management company.
  • Can you send a deposit for groceries and have a cook stock up before your arrival? Finding a refrigerator and cabinets ready with your favorites can be a big boost after a long flight.
  • Is cook service available? Many villas can arrange for cook service as you choose: three meals a day, dinner only, or just one special meal. In Jamaica, villas typically include cook service.
  • Check your options. Is the villa air-conditioned? Don’t assume your villa is air conditioned; ever-present trade winds make this an optional feature. If it’s more of a necessity than an option to you, inquire.
  • Do you need to rent a car? Many villas are located away from the resort areas. See if you should rent a car to avoid pricey taxi rides for long hauls.
  • Is there a minimum stay? Unlike hotel minimums of three nights, villas often require a minimum seven night rental.
