How to identify the best villas in Jamaica

It’s no secret that Ocho Rios, Jamaica is one of the most fabulous vacation destinations on the planet. If you are among the lucky travelers who will be visiting Ocho Rios, be sure to plan every detail perfectly to get the most out of your trip. Poor accommodation can ruin a lovely vacation. Do not leave your accommodation to chance; know exactly what to look for before you book that villa in Jamaica.

To lease

Be sure to find out the exact location of the property before you book your villa in Jamaica; especially if you haven’t traveled to the area before. Ideally, you want to stay in a villa that has the best ocean views possible. If you prefer more privacy, be sure to ask if the villa is in a private cove or in the more populated beach areas.

Staff

The best villas in Jamaica provide all the privileges of the staff to their guests. The staff must include one or more cooks, housekeepers and maintenance employees. In some luxury villas, butlers and nannies are also part of the staff. The best properties are licensed by the Jamaica Tourist Board. They will provide licensed security that, in most cases, comes on duty just before sunset and patrols through the night. When choosing a villa in Ocho Rios, be sure to ask if the security service is included in the rent.

Mod cons

A villa in Jamaica is not worth renting unless it offers a full suite of amenities. At a minimum, a villa will offer standard services such as Internet access, laundry, hair dryer, spa, swimming, etc. But top-tier villas in Jamaica, like Jamaica Ocean View Villa, will give guests the option to add amenities so they can customize their vacation experience. This ocean and tropical garden view villa allows guests to arrange romantic dinners on the balcony, a chauffeured limousine ride to a world-class golf course or luxury spa, and other decadent delights.

Attractions and Entertainment

Many Jamaica villas provide on-site entertainment for their guests to enjoy. Activities like snorkeling and diving, game complexes, and water parks are commonly seen in some of the best villas. If you are traveling with children, look for villas that offer youth activities as well as babysitting services. Part of your Jamaica vacation will include visiting attractions in the region like the Green Grotto Caves or Mystic Mountain for a thrilling roller coaster ride and water park experience. Book accommodation that is within a reasonable distance of the attractions you want to visit.

Any seasoned visitor to Jamaica will tell you that island food is one of the highlights of the vacation. Ask if the food in the villa you intend to rent is prepared by chefs who can offer a wide variety of dishes. The best villas will have a cook on hand who can even help you prepare your meals so you can enjoy the best and most diverse cuisine to expand your palate. Some villas, including Jamaica Ocean View Villa, provide guests with complimentary food packages to take home and enjoy.
