We provide a full staff, including a cook and butler, to make your stay with us worry-free.

You will be greeted by your staff upon arrival.

House Rules

Children are welcomed and well cared for! We provide cribs and high chairs on request.

Check-in and Check-out Times - Check-in time is 3:00 p.m. Check-out time is 11:00 a.m. Flexible check-in/check-outs may be possible based on availability, so please check with us the week prior to your trip.

Currency - Exchanging money is not necessary since US dollars are accepted island wide. Most commercial establishments (including restaurants, supermarkets and liquor stores) accept credit cards from the account holder. Staff members and drivers should receive their gratuities as cash. Exchange rates vary if you choose to purchase Jamaican dollars. Money exchange and other bank transactions can be handled at NATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK – conveniently located 2 minutes from the villa.

Dress - Unless you are traveling for Christmas or New Year’s, the dress code is quite casual and light. Cotton and cotton- blends are a good choice. Coats, ties, and expensive jewelry are not appropriate. A light sweater or jacket is suggested for winter evenings. If you plan to go into the caves, mountains or rainforest, proper hiking or walking shoes are recommended.

Electricity - Current is essentially the same as US: 110 volts, 50 cycles (US is 60 cycles). Converters are not necessary for US-made appliances. European appliances will require a converter.

Exotic Fruit - We strongly recommend that you try as many exotic fruits as you can. They can be found at street markets, local fruit stands, and street vendors. Our groundsman would be happy to show you the grounds and have you taste from our own fruit trees.

Groceries & Provisions - Plan to pay for groceries and gratuities locally in cash, or for your convenience, you may prepay by wire. However, cash will be required for small vendors of fruit, vegetables, and fresh fish. Estimating grocery costs is not exact. Much depends on the menus you select and current market prices. A typical grocery budget is US $45-$55 per adult per day and US $20 per day for preteens. This budget includes a modest pre-stock of a small starter bar (Red Stripe, rum, and moderately priced wines). Shellfish, imported beef, and additional alcohol requests will increase your budget.

If you choose, your cook will purchase all food items at the supermarket. She goes shopping twice weekly. We ask that you plan your meals in advance to prevent the necessity for her to shop every day. This shopping service is provided free of charge but traveling expense to and from the market is at your expense. For specialty items, the cook may to travel downtown Montego Bay. If you wish to go to the various markets with your cook, you are encouraged to do so. Otherwise, simply review your requirements with your chef and she will handle the shopping while you relax at the villa. You may estimate a $40 roundtrip for the supermarket.

On your first full day at the villa, your cook will meet with you regarding menus for the week, and then she will finish the week's shopping. At that time, you will give her cash for your food and drink plus her US $40 taxi fare. Plan to pay for your groceries and gratuities in cash. Both U.S. and JA Dollars are welcome. Alternatively, you may use your credit card if you accompany the chef to the supermarket. (Stores will not accept your card from anyone other than the account holder.) At week’s end, your chef will present receipts and reconcile your account.

Tipping Tip:

Using the amount of the villa rental as a base:

Determine the total amount of tip you would like to leave.

Determine the percentage of the total tip to give to each individual staff member based on their service.

Multiply the total amount of your tip by the percentages determined staff member and divide by 100.

Gratuities - Gratuity is typically based on the total villa cost and should be paid to the staff directly at the end of your stay. Recommended staff gratuity at the end of your stay is: 10% of the villa rental in the Winter Season, and 15% in the Summer Season, divided among your staff members. We suggest you divide up the tip among the staff instead of leaving one lump sum. The cook and butler usually get a larger percentage of the tip, but use your own discretion, you may choose to give a larger portion of the tip to the staff member who provided the majority of the services or who provided services above and beyond the call of duty. Don't forget to tip your driver and nanny too – 15% recommended.

Neighborhood Must-Sees

Within the gated Spring Farm community, Serendipity is nestled in the pristine hills of Spring Farm, perched atop the world-class Half Moon Golf Course; Serendipity’s location is ideal! From this location on the “Elegant Corridor,” you are minutes from the best Jamaica (and arguably the Caribbean) offers in dining, shopping, sightseeing, nightlife, golfing, beaches, music festivals, and the newly built convention center. With the new modern roadways that serpentine along the Caribbean Sea, Ocho Rios and Negril are just 90 minutes away. No wonder Travel & Leisure has dubbed the north coast of the island "the Jamaican Riviera."

Getting Around

Travelers flock to Jamaica for beautiful beaches and the carefree Caribbean way of life. While we never tire of a dreamy white sandy beach, the natural beauty of the island's interior should be enough to pry you away from your villa. Year-round, average highs of 77°F to 86°F (25°C to 30°C) in the lowlands and 59°F to 72°F (15°C to 22°C) at higher elevations.

You can hire our trusted driver for the week or rent a car.
