Do they have such things in STJ? We want to be pampered a little bit without paying re$ort rates.

No villa I've ever stayed at had this service. But check with some of the rental agencies. I assume that it would be available at a price.

Some villas offer maid service for an additional fee. Ask your agent or owner.

tru dat.

ask if you can add it on. keep in mind, the maid service is general tidying, hotel-style... it's not like having a butler as far as i know.

Daily maid service is not offered at any villas, except a few in Peter Bay.
Most companies will provide you with service at your expense but it is not anything like some of the maid services offered in other locations like Jamaica, etc.
In most cases our service will include making beds, dealing with towels (although you will not get fresh linens every day) bathroom and kitchen surfaces wiped down and a quick sweep.

Thanks for the responses! We're thinking more along the lines of tidying (bed made, towel replacement) rather than someone providing personal assistance.

Just a thought on clean towels daily: Since the houses are individually owned you are limited to the towels that they have on hand that means that clean towels daily will equal many loads of laundry.
Water is precious and costly on island, it is VERY wasteful to wash towels every day and during some times of the year, may result in your villa running out of water. Not that this is common, but during dry spells, water is even more precious. Just something to think about.
