May 14-23
We were at this fine resort May 15-May 24th.
Wed the 17th
We both fell in love with Jamaica and its people thanks to Couples.
Our wedding was storybook and would recommend highly.
Pictures & video are well worth the $400.00-includes negatives
Salon did a great job with my hair-do your own make-up.
We booked the Garden Villa and were due to depart to Negril on the 19th. We
decided to stay & were upgraded to the Oceanview Penthouse. Both were
outstanding. Each had its own Jacuzzi.
This is a very romantic & tropical resort with lots to do.
Food was good to excellent.
Staff is outstanding. Special mention to the entertainment team headed by
Claudia. Also my Sunshine Girls. Claudia2, Mishagay & Cachine. Also the fine
ladies of the salon, Tracy & Annie.
They have a piano bar with a sing along each night. Sounds corny, but it's a
blast.
We did one outside tour-Chucka Cove Horseback Ride.
Outstanding & well worth the $60.00.
For those of you who are thinking about au natural there is a private island. It
was our 1st time & we were comfortable there. Shaun, the island bartender is
great.
Entertainment was good. Excellent house band. Our only complaint was too much
show & not enough time to dance to their house band, Heat.
I would recommend that you skip most of the organized tours and hire a driver.
They will do more for less money & at your speed. I used Chef Thompson. Great
guy, good prices.
He does have a Web site. E-mail me for info.
Shopping is very good. Quality of goods is excellent. Beautiful jewelry. I
highly recommend Jewel Palace. There are 3 in Ochi. I believe I shopped at the
Main St. location.
Outstanding service. He custom made earrings for me & delivered them 2 hours
later for my wedding.
A final note. There is a no tipping policy but it can be done discreetly. They
can be fired for accepting tips.
I took gifts for the staff which included toys, CD, shampoos, etc. They also
like caps & shirts with Logos.
