    Yes I have spent time there that place is very special views to die. Personal housekeeper that is a gem. A lot to do and see in the area reich falls, long bay beach, boston jerk and beach rafting the rio grande frenchman cove beach PA is very special indeed. They will enjoy their visit entirely different vibe on the east side of the island. When do they go ?

    will they be having their own car? . . . it's a different layout then negril, a lot different!! . . . places are spread apart and the tourists are not so condensed in one spot like negril. lots to enjoy and as sammy said, a totally different vibe to the local folks and travellers alike!! a different breed of travellers do the east part of the island.

    We spent a week at Norse pt a couple of years ago
    Loved it so much we are thinking of another week there
    Everything that Sammy and Jitterbug said ,a car is a big plus if they can ,
    taxi's are few and further apart .We really loved Long Bay Boston Beach ,Frenchmens Cove
    We were fortunate to have dinner at the Trident Castle a really cool place.
    Norse pt had kayaks which were great to take to Monkey island and the Blue Lagoon
    Open he bedroom doors to the sea as the waves lap up within a few feet!
    They are going to have a blast!

    Trident has jazz and dinner on Saturday night, GeeJam has the jolly boys on Friday. There is a new restaurant at the pier haven't tried it yet but i hear it's good. There is a sports bar called Time Out in town. With the meals the housekeeper will prepare not sure how much they will want dinner outside their place. It's not really a hang out spot like Negril but check with locals for parties and such. We used drivers the first few times now rent. Drivers in the area are Warren and Kemar McKenzie. We used them for airport pick up, tours as well as dinner transfers. Both are great guys and people you can trust.

    The area is perhaps the most beautiful part of Jamaica. It is just a long ride for most of us. GeeJam and Trident are expensive. There are villas, cottages and small inns and hotels. I would definitely stay away from Hotel Mockingbird Hill.

    I'm curious why you say that about Hotel MBH?
