Ultra-Luxury Getaways: What $1480 per night ($164 per person!) might get you in Jamaica

See recent posts by Oyster Staff

It's been all quiet on the blog front these past few days because, well, we've been on a little tropical vacay. Nine of Oyster's finest hit up the Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica for a four-day weekend excursion -- and we did it in style. Since we were traveling in a large group, we shacked up in one of Half Moon's lavish Royal Villas -- ours was a seven-bedroom setup with a private pool -- and, of course, we did our job even when on vacation and came home with plenty of photos.

So, what does throwing down $1750 $1480* per night (kicked up to $2800 during the high season!) get you at Half Mo0n? In addition to your villa's own butler, cook, and housekeeper, your bronzed and boozey body will be enjoying the following:

*Note: price updated to reflect the deal we got by booking with Half Moon’s Fall Break offer: we’d booked a Garden View 5-bedroom villa and were upgraded to a 7-bedroom villa upon arrival; we paid $5912.60 for all four nights, which came out to $164 per person, per night. Wow. Additionally, groceries for 9 people for a 4-day, 4-night trip came out to $560 total.
