During his three year sabbatical in Jamaica, serving as VP and President of the Port Antonio Rotary Club and focusing on the design and construction of Great Huts, Paul met Nickesha Christine Smith and was smitten! Paul and Nikki were married at Great Huts in 2005. Nikki graduated with a theater arts degree from Edna Manley College in Kingston and is currently pursuing her acting career in Washington, DC. Dr Rhodes, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University, provides geriatric house calls to homebound elders in SE Washington DC and teaches medical students from Howard. Their jobs allow them regular visits to Great Huts where they enjoy meeting and assisting their guests and making new friends. They rely upon the expertise and charms of Manager Tanika Kinear, formerly of Frenchman’s Cove Hotel. Great Huts staff members Raymond and Fabian care for the grounds, Cynthia and Margaret care for the rooms, Anthony patrols the grounds, Chef Ronald does the cooking, and all together we care for YOU, our guest.
Dr. Rhodes through his charitable NGO, Jamaican and American Friends of Infirmaries and Shelters, provides minimally priced accommodations ($10 per night) for volunteers of one month or more. Preceptorships for interns/residents in medicine, psychiatry, social work, nursing, education and recreational therapy are offered by Dr. Rhodes and include voluntary work at the infirmary, or homeless shelter, rehabilitation center for the homeless, environmental protection agency, Red Cross, Salvation Army and local high schools.
