Hi,
the Villas that I work with in Jamaica are in small town expat
communities... most owners live elsewhere in the world most of the year
and the association handles rentals etc... there's a bar/grill and a
quickymart on site (so you don't have to go to town for a pack of smokes
etc)
Staffing varies with the size of the house and the number of visitors.
The smallest ones have 1 staff person half a day...
the largest have 2 shifts of 2-3 people inside plus the periodic visits
from the poolman/groundskeeper/all-around-go-to-guy from before
breakfast until after dinner.
anything can be arranged No Problem... like if you'd like a SUPER picnic
lunch packed and to be dropped off at a deserted beach full of NICE
shells and be picked up later then cool... you can have a super picnic,
get some super shells, and have your own private beach...
or sure you can go do the falls, rum factory tours, whatever... but
since it's really in a small town when you go to town you're not covered
up by higlers like in Ocho.
