If you are planning a trip to Jamaica, you couldn’t have chosen a better destination in the Caribbean.
Jamaica has usually been seen as a romantic destination perfect for weddings and honeymoon and while this reputation has a solid foundation, people are now waking up to the fact that it is very much a family destination and has something to offer to suit all tastes and age-groups. If you are planning a family vacation to Jamaica, the following tips can help you make the most of your stay.
Jamaica accommodation
Jamaica offers a complete spectrum of accommodation options from hotels to all-inclusive resorts to private Jamaica rentals comprising holiday villas, cottages and apartments. However, if budget and flexibility are high on the agenda, the perfect options would be holiday homes or private Jamaica rentals. If you stay in hotel, it is highly unlikely you’ll get rooms next to each other. Second, all your interactions would be restricted to outdoors as there is not enough space in a single room for spending quality time together. Third, take the cost of all the rooms and add to that what you would spend on eating out and you will find staying in Jamaican villas, cottages and apartments would prove to be less costly. Fourth, some Jamaican rentals also provide childcare facilities so if you wish to go out and spend some private moments together with your partner, you can indulge yourself safe in the knowledge that the kids are being well-taken care of.
Activities
Jamaica has a spectacular shoreline and its beaches need no introduction. However, there is much more on offer including majestic mountains, navigable rivers, reserves, parks, botanical gardens, caves (both on and underground), colorful marine life, lagoons, plantations, museums, art galleries and man-made amusement parks such as Dolphins Cove and Kool Runnings Park. Also worth a special mention is the Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica’s signature tourist attraction. It is not just the sight of the water cascading from a height of 600 feet that is captivating. More exciting is the fact that you can actually climb up the limestone rocks over which the water cascades to reach the top of the falls. Then there are the scenic trails around the Rio Grande Valley which you can explore on foot, on a jeep or on horseback.
Finally, if you just want to relax, let go, and bask in the company of your loved ones, simply choose a Jamaican villa facing the Caribbean, away from the crowds amidst the majestic settings of this beautiful Caribbean nation.

Jamaica rentals versus all-inclusive resorts
If you are planning a trip to Jamaica, then know that where you stay can make all the difference to not only your experience but also to the pocket. You can choose to stay in all-inclusive resorts or Jamaica rentals.
Jamaica has pioneered the concept of all-inclusive resorts. What this means is that you get to stay in a resort with other people who have also booked it. Food, transport, drinks and entertainment is included in the package. All-inclusive resorts can be a good option for singles or couples but not for families or a large group of friends travelling together.
First, the cost is very high. Second, all-inclusive resorts don’t make much sense for families because they don’t offer activities to cater to all age groups. Most importantly, part of the fun of the holiday is the challenge of discovering a place on your own and this is what you will definitely miss out because everything is planned for you. So opt for an all-inclusive resort only if you can afford the costs and wish to follow a chartered course.
Jamaica accommodation rentals comprise private villas, cottages, apartments, studios and condos that you can book for the duration of your stay. These are all private homes, mostly second homes owned by people living across the globe. The owners may stay on the island for some time and then rent it out to vacationers when they are empty. This is a win-win situation for both as the owners get to make some extra money and the vacationers can get to stay in their ‘home away from home’ on the island.
So what are the points that go in favour of accommodation rentals? First, these homes range from one bedroom to several and with amenities ranging from the comfortable to the ultra-luxurious complete with private pool, Jacuzzi to name just two, which means you can book one depending on the number of people in the group and your budget. Second, the rentals are easy on the pocket than hotels and all-inclusives in that they have their own well equipped kitchens and often a BBQ, which means you save money by eating in.
Next is privacy and space. In a time challenged world, professional commitments can take their toll on personal relationships and so today vacations are more about getting away from it all and spending quality time together with family and friends in a new place and in a new surrounding. To strengthen the bonds, you definitely would want to be away from the crowds in your own space and this is what these rentals provide. Apart from the kitchen and bedrooms, these homes also have living areas, gardens, terraces and verandas where you can laze away the hours, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, play indoor games in the late evenings or enjoy a picnic on the private stretch of a beach. Besides, there may be times when you wish to go out with your partner or spouse. The staff of the villas will arrange for childcare facilities so you can go and enjoy yourself safe in the knowledge that the kids are being well taken care off. In fact there are rentals like the Silver Sands villas, with their own stretch of private beach, that also have special play areas for children.
