How do I get from the airport to Treasure Beach—and back?

Most of our guests prefer to be picked up by our property manager in his comfortable 10 person minivan. He will be waiting for you when you arrive and will offer you a personalized, warm service. He’s a wealth of knowledge about Rainbow Tree and the island. If you’d like, he’ll stop along the way to help you exchange currency and have a snack or a meal. If you wish to drive yourself, there are several car rental agencies at the airport, and we’d be pleased to recommend one.

What kind of weather can I expect in Treasure Beach?

Treasure Beach has its own microclimate and is in an especially dry area of Jamaica; there can be little or no rain for months on end. Treasure Beach is often sunny, even when it’s raining just a few miles away. The average summer and winter temperatures vary by only about 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) and tend to be in the low to mid 80s during the day and about 10 degrees cooler at night. The humidity averages 60-65%.

Do you have air conditioning?

Each bedroom has a split A/C unit. The air-handling portion is discreetly mounted high on a wall, and the compressor/condenser is outside. Most guests prefer not to use the A/C units and rely on cool sea breezes and the overhead fans for comfort. (There are overhead paddle fans throughout the entire villa.)

Do you have a back-up generator?

Absolutely! The power service in Jamaica is not especially reliable—and can go out for long periods of time. Our generator is sufficient to keep the refrigerator, deep freeze, overhead fans, and lights working. It also enables your internet connection to stay up. Our hot water is solar, as is our pool pump.

Is the water drinkable?

Government-supplied water is treated with chlorine and, as such, is totally fine to drink. Nonetheless, as some travelers have problems with any changes in water, we provide spring water in a large “bubbler”; you can feel free to refill any water bottles from that. Our staff uses that spring water for making ice.
