If you're thinking about staying in Caribbean villas this summer, you may be pleased to know that Jamaica's Ministry of Finance and Planning has recently announced a revised tax agenda for the island's tourism sector. Although you'll have to pay a $20 fee when you enter the country, which will be included in plane fare, all of the tax revenue will go toward improving this tropical paradise.

"The measures were arrived at in a spirit of cooperation and were approached with the aim of an outcome that is beneficial to all parties involved," said Evelyn Smith, president of the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association.

For guests staying at luxury vacation rentals in Jamaica, $20 is a small price to pay for enjoying the lush forests and endless blue waters surrounding their accommodations. At the Beach House villa, guests can indulge in the best of both modern island living. This contemporary California-style house is right on the sand and features a state-of-the-art kitchen and living spaces that are ideal for families with youngsters.
