Pete's was the first place we had dinner outside the hotel in 1987 when we were staying at Negril Inn. (I think it's now "Rooms on the Beach.") It was inexpensive enough that we didn't feel we had to eat at the hotel every night, and Pete's was right there with Miss Mavis right next door. The beach higglers were ferocious when you ate there, but I still remember what that first taste of jerk chicken and rice and peas right on the beach at sunset was like. In those days it wasn't party party party every night...we would sit on the beach and watch the stars.Originally Posted by Rumlover
After our 3rd trip there, we decided to move on and the next year we went to T-Water solely on the basis of the fact that someone on our bus from the airport on our 3rd trip was staying there so the next year we decided to give it a try...and went for the next five years. After that we didn't care for how built up the beach was getting so we kind of moved around -- we did a long weekend at Sunset in MoBay, we spent a week at Enchanted Garden, a couple of trips to Couples Negril (where we decided we liked Bloody Bay better), once at SATP, three times at Club Ambiance in Runaway Bay. Haven't been to Jamaica now since 2007. Hubby jumped around from job to job for a while, then some financial issues, then he got sick. I think next year will be my first time back and I hope to leave some ashes there -- in the place where he was happiest. Whether I can handle going more than once without him remains to be seen, though.
Does anyone know what happened to Jack, who ran the glass bottom boat out of the T-Water? We had dinner with him and his friends one night on the beach -- fish, vegetables, rice, cooked in a dutchie on a fire right on the beach. To this day, best meal I have ever had ANYWHERE.
