We suggest bringing clothes that are well worn, where soiling and fading can be tolerated. The airline of choice is American Airlines since they have good connecting flights to get you to Montego Bay in one day from the west coast, or any other US gateway city. We are staying in a small community on the north side of the island called Discovery Bay, just a short distance from where Christopher Columbus landed. The villas are about a one hour drive east of Montego Bay International Airport, and about 45 minutes west of Ocho Rios. The neighborhood is very quite.
Staff includes cook, maid, and grounds keeper.
There is always a strong breeze blowing, so air conditioners are not necessary. Since there is a lot of salt-spray by the ocean, the villas do show signs of weathering. Each villa has about 200' of coastline, and on either side of the villas are vacant lots each containing an additional 400' of coastline. There is a 300 high cliff behind the villa, making it a very quite location, perfect for the ARRL DX contest. There is a nice lawn between the villa and the ocean, and each villa has it's own pool and lounge chairs.
