Al & Peg - February, 2010

February 14-22 2010

 

After a very adventurous journey thru Atlanta due to snow - we finally get to Mobay on Saturday afternoon - We get thru a very long customs line that took forever - then breeze thur immigration and head to the Superclubs lounge. We check in and a representative comes right over and leads us to a van that is just about to leave - Lucky us! Our ride to Negril is uneventful and we get to the check in desk and are greeted by Tricia - who informs us it's our lucky day and we've been upgraded to Ocean View Nude!!!! LUCKY US!- Our room is ready - we drop off our bags - The room is right next to the dive shack and towels!!  Great locatin --get undressed and head over to the Nude Beach for another cocktail and something to eat. We find our friends in the hot tub- grab another drink - some jerk chicken and relax - Ah - feeling good.

 

This is our 13th trip and we found it to be one of our best trips. Managment seems to have made some extra efforts to improve the experience and we noticed it right away. Our AC worked great all week and there was plenty of hot water,  two areas in the past that have caused some concern.  The first thing we notice is Pastafri has changed it's name to Martini's.  Denva told us that managment decided to make the  change and that the menu will be changing soon. The waitress staff was personable and wonderful as usual!!  They make every night we eat there soooo special!!  While we always find plenty to choose from now, a new addition or two would be nice. Service was excellent there all week as usual and we enjoyed dining there whenever the opportunity presented itself.  The breakfast buffet was very good as usual and found the food to be fresh and enjoyed having eggs made to order and noticed that the bacon was fresh everyday. We especially enjoyed the company of our friends at lunch but this year we had some belly busting laughs at lunch that we will never forget!! I cannot remember when we have laughed that hard!!  We make an effort to come up to the main dining room for lunch and found the choices to be plentiful and were very happy to see the soft serve ice cream machine working and having plenty of toppings to choice from. We enoyed the beach party on a beautiful moonlite night and ended it with a short walk down to the hot tub for some DESSERT!!  The Japanese was great!!  As always the staff and waitress made sure everything was enjoyable.

 

The entertainment was especially good this week. The Bubblybears were there and brought in a "age appropiate" band to play on the beach one day and then again after dinner one night. Forgive me for forgetting their name but they playerd great music and really made it a fun time. On Valentines Day - the resort had a DJ playing music down on the beach which again was a nice touch. The house band was good as was the entertainment provided by Winston and the other EC's. We danced so much thus trip and enjoyed every minute of the dancing!!  Let me add that the gym and the classes available were great which included yoga and spinning!!  The spinning was at 8 a.m.  needs to be a little later so we can make it everyday!!

 

The week ended with LOBSTER on Friday night and there was plenty of it to go around. I ate my share plus and only wished I could've had room for more. The line was long but well worth the wait. On Saturday night Jon's Fluffernutters had a poolside party. He brought in a DJ who played lots of great dancing music - this is a great idea and one I'd suggest the resort due all the time - especially in the summertime. It was a beautiful night, with a nice breeze - ample opportunity to get drinks at the main bar and when things got to hot - all you had to do is strip and jump into the pool.

 

Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end and Sunday morning came way to early. We had a 12:30 flight which meant we left the resort around 8:30 and breezed our way to Mobay in about 1:15 - we breezed thru checkin and security and were at our gate by 10:45 - our flight departed on time at 12:30 and we headed home with lots of great memories. The only thing that keeps us going is that we are already booked for July for ten days and are now counting the days.

 

All in all a great trip!!! with great friends, long walks on the beach and cannot wait to go back.
