Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Alright crew, we are 86 days and counting. Starting with a 3 night stay in Negril and then two weeks in Treasure Beach. We are a week at Marblue and a week at Seaside Villa and are a group of 10 this year!! Looking forward to the warm rays and cool vibes of the Island. Our winter so far has not been the worst, but the break is always needed! What are your plans for this year fellow south shore turtles?

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
We’re so excited about our upcoming 10 nights in Treasure Beach in April with family who have never been to Jamaica, followed by 3 nights in Negril!

Where are you staying in Treasure Beach? What about Negril? Favourite places to eat? Things to do? Always fun to hear someone else’s faves and why!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon - looks like we will miss each other again. Heading to Villa Du Soleil in early Feb. Big group this year - should be a good time! Where is Seaside - I don't think I have ever heard of that one?

Seaside is on the road to Marblue. Not on the water but just behind an old dilapidated villa onceowned by a Jamaican boxer I believe. If you take the road to the women’s centre and then turn right you are on Marblue’s rd and seaside is on the right, big yellow 7 bedroom villa with a pool. Always trying something new....sorry we miss you once again, one year we will share a cold one!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???

We'll be at Lyric and then Catcha Falling Star. We've also stayed at Villa du Soleil the past 2 years and loved it but couldn't manage the timing for this trip. It will be nice to be a little closer to conveniences this time although we still hope to do a nice walk out to 77 West. Really looking forward to introducing our family to what we love most about Jamaica!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Glad to see the South Coast Board up and active again and good to see everybody heading to Treasure Beach for Holiday.
Sunchaser I don't know if you have ever stayed at Lyric Villa before but it's a great place. Although I have never stayed there it is right next door to Sunset Villas and Resort where I always stay. Lyric is I believe owned by a local woman named Annabelle who has been in Treasure Beach for many years. Everybody knows her. Check out Sunset for dinner and drinks while you're in TB it's more like a Hotel than a traditional Villa and one or two doors up from Lyric. Be sure if you can to leave a trip report!! Walk Good, John

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Lyric looks great - always say we are going extend our trip and stay there a few nights. Will be nice to be close to all Calabash has to offer for sure. I believe Annabelle also is an owner of 77 West - enjoy!
Glad to see you chiming in John!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Rumghoul

Hey Rumghoul Always great seeing your posts too! As was said many years ago and is true today "Jamaica is more than a beach it's a country". Meaning there is more to JA than just Negril!! And thus we found Treasure Beach!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
So the third pic is Mikey and I in 1980, young and in love......lol. We will be down for our 33 anniversary this year, returning to where it all began. It’s been an incredible adventure, not for the faint of heart, 3 kids and 33 years later. Who wants to buy the book...lol

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon: Wow really nice photos especially you and Mikey!! 33 years is a real testament to "For Better or for Worse, To Love and to Cherish"!! Glad to know that Jamaica has been so much of who you and Mikey have become!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Looks like the weather in the US and Canada has finally turned to winter, cold temps and snow. So now is the time for the lovers of Treasure Beach to step up and tell us about your past, current and future trips to TB. Looking forward to hearing everybody's adventures!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon what's your countdown?? It must be sometime soon?? Did you hear about the WestJet flight from Toronto to MoBay that was halfway to JA when a guy on the flight claimed he had coronavirus and they turned the plane around and returned to T?? The guy was joking but they arrested him upon arrival!!
-
Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Me and three of my old friends just booked a week end of Feb to get away from our families and stressful lives to chillax.. Any recommendations for a local 4 bedroom set up for 3 or 4 nights in TB? This will be my second trip to TB, I enjoy the Negril beach bars but TB is pretty special.

What jerk!! That will be our flight in three weeks. We are doing 2 1/2 weeks three weeks from today, and so have to do the Winnipeg-Toronto at 5 a.m. and then 10 a.m. to jamaica from Toronto, Westjet flight 2702!!!! Good thing that wasn’t our flight or I may have made the news as well! What an idiot, all to get a viral video to his credit! Hope they fine him like they did the two brits on route to Cabo, caused a ruckus and had to land here in Winnipeg. Starting fine is $100,000.00 each!

Check either Expedia or this link for treasure tours. http://treasuretoursjamaica.com/
Might be slim pickings though. Treasure beach books up with returning guests every year. We are there for the two weeks of feb 29-mar 14, starting in negril feb 26. Might see you down there!

Yes, Treasure Tours is your best bet but also agree that it may be quite late for bookings at this time. Hope you can find something!

Hey Smiley, haven’t stayed at any of those properties yet, but have booked through Treasure Tours and can say that Rebecca and her staff will look after you well. They have a.ways done a bang up job for us over the years. Maybe we will see you down there. Cheers!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???

Counting the days now till we get there. We are a group of 11 this year, so it will be a different kind of trip. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, amazing sunsets and the chill vibe. Hope the winds calm down. Sound crazy for someone from the frozen north but sometimes find wind unsettles me?!?! Enjoy your time Rumghoul, regular digs at Villa du Soliel? Hope the weather is hot and the bevies are cold! Cheers!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Yep - villa du Soleil. Wind died down a bit today but supposed to return tomorrow afternoon. We have not even been in the sea yet - glad to have a pool
-
Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
So we secured 3 nights in Negril followed by 3 nights in TB. Hey_mon maybe we will catch up? Pm me. We plan to do the one love bus on Feb 26 and Pelican bar for sunset on Leap Day.
