Try a Luxury Jamaica Villa for a Family Reunion Vacation You’ll Never Forget
by Paula Hughes Court
Think you can't afford a luxury Jamaica villa for this year's family reunion vacation? Think again. Here's a little
known secret. Extended families can enjoy a week in a fully-staffed luxury villa in Jamaica for the same price
you're paying now for a week at the beach. Still don't believe it? Neither did I until  I heard about
Villas by Linda
Smith, a company specializing in fully-staffed luxury Jamaica villas. Linda Smith offers a variety of Jamaica
villas, most a mere 20-minute drive from the Montego Bay airport.

Villa choices range from a Eighteenth Century
13-room plantation with stables to a 26-room seaside
castle. Most family groups opt for one of the many  
villas located in the amenity rich resorts of Round Hill
Hotel & Beach Club and the Tryall Club. These clubs
contain first class golf courses, tennis courts and  
children's programs. If you prefer to be directly on the
water or high in the mountains,
Villas by Linda Smith
offers villas in those areas also.

JAMAICA VILLA RATES
Villa rates average between $4500-$5000 per week
in the off season (summer) for a 4-5 bedroom villa
with a private pool and a full staff. This averages out
to around $1100 per week per bedroom or couple.
For the same price you would pay for a small
one-bedroom condo in Destin, Florida you can live
like royalty with a full staff to care for your every want
or need.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The villa cook will prepare three (large!)
meals a day, the housekeeper will keep the
villa tidy and the full time laundress will wash
your clothes, towels and sheets. Many villas
also include butlers who mix drinks, serve
meals and do whatever else it is that butlers
do.
