Re: HELP this newly divorced Couples Resorts only staying Jamaica loving female :)
My gut has been telling me to go with IAW for the past couple months and you should go with your gut normally right? I was trying to keep board under $1000 though but I know you do get what you pay for.
Thanks for all the input!! Keep it coming mon!

We just get the basic garden room. It was more than fine, nicer than the basic room as CSA. Request a fridge though!

No bar or restaurant, but White Sands is right next door and some rooms come with cook service. Absence of public services means no one should be on property that's not staying there, very secure.
This was exactly what I was trying to say. I love IAW but if there's a lot of people and kids, the beach area is tiny and you will be crammed in there with everyone. But it can be fun, too!!! Nirvana is more spread out. I also really love the little back garden at Nirvana. May not be possible to get Veranda suite depending on time of year you'll be there but you can always email them and ask. Good luck!
Re: HELP this newly divorced Couples Resorts only staying Jamaica loving female :)
As a solo female traveler, I always stay at the White Sands.......Best value on the beach ( check pics, rates, and reviews, you will see for yourself !!!! ) Basic , but clean rooms, excellent housekeeping, each room has a fridge and ac. Each room also has a terrace, or balcony. The staff is great, and has a very social bar....it's perfect for the solo traveler, as it is smaller but plenty of people around, as they get a lot of repeat visitors. They serve breakfast, and lunch, and it is in walking distance to everything......Best part, it is on the best stretch of the beach, right along with CoCo, Nirvana, Charella, and Idle Awhile, but for less than half the price of these other places !!!!

I'll second Idle and Charela. Charela has the advantage of ocean view rooms with a nice patio. Very private, friendly spot for a solo traveler

Wow really! What room do you book? Garden or beach side? Are the terrace or balconies private? Thanks for the suggestion.. Wasn't even considering it and it's hella cheap :)
Re: HELP this newly divorced Couples Resorts only staying Jamaica loving female :)
Jennifer, yep, like I said, best value on the beach........I always get beach side....and like second floor, for a balcony ( and yes, they are private ).....I love sitting out on my balcony, having a drink just chilling....especially in the evening, as it is quite there in the evening......right across the street is the popular Best in the west chicken place, and Mickeys store , where you can get pop, water, ice, beer, rum, snacks and such....... you will love it there.....excellent security as well...... One big tip should you decide to give it a try...call the office direct, they will give you rate, and availability right then...... Francis or Terri Ann are the greatest, and will set you up !
Re: HELP this newly divorced Couples Resorts only staying Jamaica loving female :)
By the way, there are at least a couple dozen boardies, that already have White Sands booked for the boardie bash in April, I somehow feel sorry for the resort.....hahahahaha !!!!

Well Irine, in May, there are almost no boardies... lol (I found that out last year)... very quiet time of year.... so she'll have no problem getting the peace she needs...
