This gives you the most bang for your buck. Shorter stays often cost you more per night than if you rent for longer periods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure you have a local contact person\u00a0to help you in case you run into any problems<\/strong>. You don\u2019t want to spend your time trying to solve problems in a foreign country.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate, communicate,\u00a0<strong>communicate with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/makeitjamaica.com\/villa-hosts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your staff<\/a><\/strong>. Tell them what you want. They are there to help you. If you do not communicate with them they have no way of knowing what you want or what your likes and dislikes are. Sure, they will pay attention to your actions and reactions but why make them try to be mind-readers?! What a waste of time and energy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure the members of your group are all on the same page<\/strong>. This will prevent mixed messages to the staff. If some members of your group want to be frugal but others want to eat like royalty, this will create confusion and frustration for the staff. They won\u2019t know to whom they should listen. Confused and frustrated staff and guests \u2026 not a good combination.<\/li>\n<li>Unless you know you don\u2019t want to go our much,\u00a0<strong>get a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/makeitjamaica.com\/van-driver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">van and driver service<\/a><\/strong>. This is the most comfortable and reliable way of seeing the sights. Even if you don\u2019t book your activities ahead of time, at least think about what you would like to do so you don\u2019t waste the greater part of each day trying to figure out where you\u2019d like to go.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you\u00a0<strong>pick a villa that is ideal for your group<\/strong>\u00a0in the first place. Be sure to consider your group\u2019s size, configuration and desired amenities. If you are not happy with the property you selected, it will be hard to salvage the vacation.<\/li>\n<li>Try to get close to the maximum occupancy of the house to end up with the best per person price. It is simple mathematics.\u00a0<strong>The larger your group size, the lower the per person cost to rent a villa.<\/strong>\u00a0Remember hotels are based on a per room rate. Villa rentals are to some extent based on a room rate but in reality are\u00a0more based on the price of a nightly rate for the house.\u00a0Please respect the terms of your rental agreement and not exceed the number of stated guests \u2026 It\u2019s just bad etiquette.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.makeitjamaica.com\/jamaica-villa-vacation-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make sure you consider the other costs associated with your vacation<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0so you don\u2019t spend too much money on an expensive villa and then don\u2019t have enough money to eat well or to make a few splurges that you may want.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go with a laid back attitude<\/strong>. Go with the flow. It is conducive to vacation living and conducive to the island way of life. Appreciate the differences between the way things are back home\u00a0versus in Jamaica. That is part of the travel experience. Savor your time with friends and family. Make sure you spend time creating memories that you will cherish forever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f3f49a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f3f49a9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f58293\" data-id=\"9f58293\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-582bbb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"582bbb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-253813f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"253813f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65c05b8\" data-id=\"65c05b8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92ecfd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92ecfd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Til next time.<\/p>\n<p>Think and dream Jamaica!<\/p>\n<p>Sherry<\/p>\n<p>Considering a visit to Jamaica?
