PLAN YOUR NEXT RETREAT IN PARADISE

Villas by Linda Smith Accommodates Executive Meetings in the Jamaican Sun


CABIN JOHN, MD August 18, 2004 - Get ready business executives for a meeting that will have your mind and body so relaxed - you will think you are on vacation. Strategize in a private villa in Jamaica complete with a full staff to accommodate all your needs and mix a bit of pleasure with your business!
Upon arrival, you will be driven to a spacious villa so comfortable, you will instantly feel at home. Instead of hearing the noises of a busy hotel and city streets, you will hear birds chirping and the relaxing sounds of the Caribbean Sea.

Many villas provide complimentary Internet access. Some villas accommodate up to 20 people and are perfect for those executives who want to travel in style, yet still have a productive meeting. Upscale accommodations, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning to supplement the natural tradewinds, cooks who serve memorable home-cooked meals on site, butlers at your beck and call, and even laundresses, so every guest leaves with a suitcase full of clean clothes! … all in a breathtaking Caribbean climate that distinguishes the Jamaican offshore meeting site from all others.
“Many executives who stay with us find that meetings at our sites are quite productive because they are able to relax and enjoy themselves between sessions,” stated Linda Smith, President and CEO of Villas by Linda Smith. “And having wonderful Jamaican staff enables a carefree experience so executives can concentrate on the business at hand.”

A typical day in a private Jamaican villa may start with eye-opener Blue Mountain coffee and a swim before breakfast. After a hearty home-cooked breakfast in a comfortable environment, get down to business for a few hours before lunch. Activities that follow may include an afternoon golf game, deep-sea fishing, spa treatments, tennis, excursions and sailing or just lounging by the villa’s private pool. Evenings may vary and consist of poolside cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a seated candlelight dinner, a casual torchlight beach party with a reggae or calypso band, a sunset cruise or a barbeque of tenderloin, shrimp, lobster or famous Jamaican jerk chicken.
