Jamaica Villa Menu - a sampling of what your chef might prepare!

(Our Villa Chef from our trip to Jamaica last week, preparing grilled lobster for dinner!)


How does this sound for lunch?

Cheese & Callaloo Quiche
or Lobster Quiche
Marinated Bean Salad
Breadfruit Chips or Potato Chips
 
OR this for dinner?
 
Cold Tomato Soup or Lobster Cocktails
Curried Chicken On a bed of White Rice
Steamed Vegetables
Fried Plantains
Orange Cake
 
All of these delicious dishes could be on the menu at the villa of your choice on your next Caribbean vacation! All villas in Jamaica come fully staffed, including a private cook. For our villa clients, we always arrange the arrival meal to be a traditional Jamaican Roast Chicken dinner with all the tempting sides & a tropical dessert. Then we ask that our clients sit down with the villa cook to plan the rest of the week's meals. We provide ideas to choose from, including many of the dishes above. These exact menus are from SunVillas, a rental company specializing in Jamaica. Browse all of their menus here


Getting to Jamaica from most major US gateways is easy, all major US airlines fly to the island. From the UK, you may fly American Airlines or find flights on United Airlines too!

New Sandals Emerald Bay Photos!

Sandals Resorts newest property is a gem! Sandals Emerald Bay is located in the Exumas, the Out Islands of the Bahamas. Enjoy these photos of some of the beautifully appointed common spaces on property:

We love the rich dark woods and cooling neutral palettes...

The chic, classic Caribbean style greets you from the moment you step into the lobby:

Do we really need any words to describe the beach? 

If you need words, think sugar sand, calm waves, and the warmest clear water around...

















The Boathouse Restaurant is reminiscent of a posh yacht club...

















Being that Sandals Emerald Bay is a new hotel, there are some great promotion rates right now - up to 65% off + 1 night free! Combine this with great airfare rates from the US or cheap flights to the Caribbean from London.

Stay tuned - I'll be posting a few photos of the rooms and private living spaces at Sandals Emerald Bay next week!
