If you are planning a trip to Jamaica, you can make the most of your visit by staying in family-friendly Jamaica accommodation rentals that have facilities to cater to all-age groups with TV/DVD/Internet for those who wish to stay in doors, to childcare facilities and play areas for kids, to tours and transfers for those who wish to explore the island and lots more in between. Added to these are the facts that these rentals are very affordable, offer all services normally associated with hotels and provide privacy and space that you get only in your own home. In other words, these rentals are your home away from home, yet also different from them in that they allow you to gain a first hand experience of the local way of life and an insight into their culture and traditions.

Most tourist attractions in Jamaica are located on the north coast of the island in places like Ocho Rios, Negril, Montego Bay and Negril. To be near these attractions and also have your private beach, space and privacy, you can choose to stay in Silver Sands villas, a secure community of villas and cottages that give you the best of services and facilities at the most affordable rates.

If you wish, you can go out for activities that are meant for adults and have the staff of the villas arrange childcare facilities. Otherwise there are enough places where the family can enjoy a whole day of fun. You can check out the Dolphins Cove in Ocho Rios where you can swim with a family of bottleneck dolphins, explore a rainforest trail and then enjoy a family picnic on the grounds.

Then there is the Kool Runnings Park, a fun water park with slides of every kind with the easy ones for the kids to those that will definitely give you an adrenalin rush.

You can also explore eco-friendly attractions like the Royal Palm Reserve spread across over 300 acres and home to about 300 species of animals, reptiles, birds and butterflies and over 114 species of flowers.

Also there is the Luminous Lagoon which gets its name from a rare phosphorescent microbe known as dinoflagellate present in the water. The movement of the water causes the microbes to glow and emit a neon green light which gives the lagoon its luminosity.

If you are staying in Silver Sands villas, you can go swimming and snorkeling on the pristine private beach, enjoy a family picnic and make friends with other guests staying within the complex. The villas also arrange a free welcome/entertainment party for their guests every week.
