The services of the cook and other staff is included in the villa rate, but a customary 10-15% gratuity is to be paid at the end of the vacation, in cash, directly to the staff. Before the guests arrive, a food request list is asked to be filled by the guest. This list is for the cook to be able to purchase and stock up the kitchen for the arriving guest, so that the first 24 hours are taken care of and the guest can arrive and relax. In this list the guest can request their first lunch and/or dinner and first breakfast that they wish the cook to prepare and serve. The second day the guest reimburses the cook for the shopping expenses. Then the guest may plan with the cook the meals and food shopping for the rest of the vacation. Regardless who shops, the guest, the cook or both, the guest is responsible for the cost of all food and drinks.

Valley High Villa consists of a large hillside property, a plantation of hundreds of fruit trees. There is a spring water river that runs through the property at the bottom of the hill and it's a fun place to take a dip and feel the clear cold water on a hot day. Guests must be aware though that the hillside is very steep. It is not easy to walk down to the river. Good walking shoes are needed. This is a serious hike that is recommended only for the fit and serious nature lovers. You may pick citrus fruits and other exotic fruits that grow on the property while wondering around the hillside. The view from the property is absolutely fabulous, all around the mountains, over the town of Runaway Bay , the turquoise blue Caribbean Ocean and our local Breezes Golf Course. There is a rustic little 'shack' down the hillside, where one can get away from it all and listen to the noises of the nature, take a nap, read a book or meditate. (Contact the owner for inform

Other Activities: swimming with the horses, walking up water falls, bobsledding, canopy rides, swimming with dolphins, sharks or rays, helicopter tours, catamaran

Greatest Family Vacation

Toye Georgia
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family used this magnificent villa and it was outstanding. They delivered on all of their promises. We only had to ask and every wish was granted. The atmosphere was superb; the rooms were clean and spacious, and the household staff was incredible. We always traveled in a large group to celebrate family birthdays in other countries and this tradition has begun about five years ago. This year topped it all. We all enjoyed ourselves nonstop. Our group consisted of 20 at the villa but the party's guest list reached 35, including the staff and their family! This is the place to stay for a fun filled vacation.
