The villa rental includes:

  • Amenities that are described on the villa page
  • Taxes are INCLUDED in the villa rental unless stated otherwise
  • Rates are based on double occupancy per bedroom

  • Tryall Club Villas check in time is 3:00pm and check out time is 12: noon
  • Your cook will handle grocery shopping and meal preparation. She will pre-purchase your first few meals plus pantry staples based on the food list you submitted, then finish the week's shopping after meeting you. At the week's end, she will present receipts for all the food and beverages and reconcile your account.

  • Your housekeeper/laundress will care for every detail in your villa and this includes the cleaning and freshening up of your bedroom, bathroom, providing daily supply of fresh linens and the general cleansliness of the villa.

  • The gardener maintains the gardens immaculately each day and also maintains the swimming pool.
  • Most of the larger villas are staffed by a butler and he generally facilitates the smooth running of the household, and also may serve meals, tend bars or arrange activities, masseuses, nannies or transportation for you while you are on holiday.

    • GROCERIES:
    In general, an approximate food budget is $35-$45 per adult, per day and $20 per day for children 10 and under. Some luxury villas require a higher budget of $40-$60 per adult per day, and we will notify you which villas this apply. These budgets however, are only estimates which have been based on previous guest’s experience. If you request for meals which include shrimp and lobster or imported beef, or require larger than normal quantities, this budget will change.

    The cook will go to the grocery and she will purchase the groceries that are required to provide the meals you have both agreed upon, or if you leave it up to her she will get what is required. You are welcome to go to the grocery with her, or just leave it all up to her. Grocery receipts are shown, however receipts are sometimes difficult to come by in the market for fish or vegetable/fruits.

    At the end of your stay, you may reimburse the cook for the groceries, plus $50 taxi fare. If you have hired a private driver and van package, the cook may simply take this van and driver to the grocery instead of a taxi. Please arrange this with the cook and driver for convenience. The cook will expect payment of groceries in US dollars. To avoid carrying large amounts of cash on holidays, you may prepay for your groceries through us for a $25 handling fee.
    Once the groceries have been totaled up for the week, if there are any amounts owing, you may simply pay the difference at the villa.
