Hotel Or Villa For Your Next Vacation

Villa vacation or a hotel vacation? This is a hot topic now. Recently, Home Away, that giant vacation rental company, previewed an advertisement during the Super Bowl advocating that staying in a private vacation home was much cheaper than staying in a hotel.

I think both hotels and private vacation homes are great options and either will suit loads of people. If you have followed the debate and found that you were not sold on either option, you may be thinking there is something wrong with you. Could it be that you have not realized that there is another option?

Yes, I am talking about staying in a fully furnished apartment. There are beautiful apartments for short-term rental all over the World and many are located in popular tourist destinations, even near top hotels. What are the advantages of renting an apartment for your next vacation?

Firstly, renting an apartment is usually much less expensive than staying in a hotel or renting a villa of equivalent quality. Believe it or not, there are studio, one and two bedroom rental apartments in a condominium complex on the Caribbean Sea at Ocho Rios, Jamaica at incredible rates. The studios rent from a low of US$75 per night. Imagine a fully furnished, spacious, air-conditioned Jamaica apartment with full bathroom and kitchen! And there is maid service every other day.

Sounds unbelievable? You are probably thinking at such a low price, the apartments can't be nice, can't be clean, and can't be well-equipped. Then, rent from a company that guarantees the quality of their apartments.

The apartments at Turtle Beach Towers provide fantastic views of the Ocho Rios Bay or surrounding hills and free access to the crescent-shaped Ocho Rios Beach. And there is a large swimming pool on the complex, which is special as it is home to many people who live and work in Ocho Rios. So there are always families around. It is nice and safe to stay in a gated community where locals actually live.

All the apartments have well-equipped kitchens. So whether you just want to fix a quick breakfast or try out some local recipes, you can do that and save a lot on the expense of restaurants.

Down the street from Turtle Beach Towers is where the cruise ships dock. And all around, in easy walking distance, are shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, craft markets, water sports, and more. Golf, horseback riding, and many famous visitor attractions like Dunn's River Falls are nearby. Ocho Rios is a lively place and staying in an apartment is more of an adventure than staying in a hotel or a villa.

You may be wandering if you are enough of an independent traveler for this type of holiday? A Jamaica Accommodation rental company, Mysilversands, helps to ease you into what may be unknown territory. If you wish, Mysilversands will meet you at the airport and take you directly to your apartment. A Rep will be assigned to you and you may call at any time if you have a problem or need assistance. So don't feel you will be abandoned.
