Jamaican Excursions

There is almost an infinite number of choices of Jamaican excursions and activities available to Silent Waters Villa guests. Most are offered through the Villa. Our Property Manager can easily arrange those activities that are not. Whether it's playing tennis on site, basking in the sun in our Olympic size infinity edge swimming pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, or a wide variety of off-site activities that interest you, we can help you plan each glorious day.

The Tryall Club requires all villa guests either staying at Tryall villas or having access under a corporate membership such as Silent Waters, who are visiting the Club to become Temporary Members.  The Temporary Membership Due (TMD) of US $26.00 per person per day (plus 15% service charge) is required for all guests 16 and over (guests 15 and younger are free) each time the Tryall Club is used. Guests must register at the Great House Main Office where a Temporary Membership identity card will be issued for each guest and a charge account will be set up.  If you plan to pay your charge account with a credit card, a hold will be placed on your provided credit card to cover this amount. Visa, MasterCard and AMEX are accepted. If you plan to pay for your charge account in cash at the end of your stay (if not using a credit card), a cash deposit will be required as a guarantee.
