Have you planned your summer vacation yet?
This year, many travelers will come to Ocho Rios, Jamaica to enjoy our magnificent beaches, stunning Dunn’s River, and more.
In fact, we’re so popular, many hotels and resorts in Jamaica are already almost booked for this summer. It’s one of the most popular times of year on our island, especially for families taking advantage of their kids’ summer vacations from school.
But don’t worry: you don’t have to postpone your Jamaican vacation until next year! Another (and we think better) option for travelers to Jamaica is to book a vacation rental condo or villa.
Not only are they less crowded, these accommodation options are friendly, unique, and provide plenty of space for families – and especially families with kids.
Vacation Rentals – A Great Choice for Families
Choosing a Jamaica rental villa rather than a hotel room provides some distinct advantages for families.
Consider this scenario: you spend a day exploring the many beautiful attractions of Ocho Rios. You enjoy local food, meet local people, and discover the city’s beauty.
Then you head back to your hotel room at the end of the day…a hotel room that is identical to all the rest of them, with cramped spaces, a crowded shared pool, and boring décor.
Back at the hotel, you are separate from the heartbeat of Jamaica. Boredom sets in.
Now consider this scenario: You and your loved ones come back to your Jamaica rental villa after a full day of fun. You decide relax and unwind beside the private pool while your kids enjoy a dip before dinner. Once dinner is over, you can enjoy the serenity of the quiet residential area, while your kids retire to their own rooms.
This is what a vacation rental villa in Jamaica can offer you!
Think that Jamaica rental villas are a dream that only the wealthy can afford?
Actually, hidden fees and daily charges at hotels can often make a hotel stay more expensive. Why spend so much renting on a congested, expensive hotel room when you can enjoy three times the fun in an affordable Jamaica rental home?
Bring another family with you and split the nightly cost!
