Off to the Cliffs.....
You WILL Be Assimilated:
This trip we decided to try something different. We have been to many of the places up in the cliffs before, but we had never stayed at any of them......until now. With the help of another awesome boardie on here, (Thanks again for the advice and all the feedback Melody!!!) we pulled the trigger on a three night stop at Le Mirage before heading to the beach.
Mirage was great! It's a really nice place that's situated right on the water. It was pretty quiet when we were there. (except for a deranged wild jungle dingo that barked insanely for about 2 hours one night. I understand that's not really the hotels fault however) There were only 2 other couples there when we arrived and another came in the day before we left so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. All the other guests were very nice and we were glad to have met them. In fact, the couple in the room above us were Bears fans......and they were even pretty cool.We did meet a cool couple from England the day we left and said we would see them around town but we never did so....Nicko.....if your reading this.....PM me man! lol
I should probably say that every person staying there told us NOT to tell anyone about the place so it wouldn't become too popular but, if I can get them a few more guests so they can better their business, why wouldn't I? Sorry everyone.....the secret is out!
Some shots of the view from our balcony.
No problems with the hot wata here!
A look at the property from down by the cliffs.
How's this for nice sunset? What a spectacular view of the sea. The infinity pool was incredible too.
So we checked in, met the hotelier Nadine (who is a sweetheart), Mr. Bobby grabbed our bags and off we go to the room. Two minutes later we step out onto the balcony to check the amazing view and BAM!!! Mental alarms start sounding in our heads. RRRRR! RRRRR! RRRRR! Naked Guy Alert!!! Naked Guy Alert!!!
Yes......that's right.....we found out after we got there that Mirage is a "clothing optional" hotel. (all you folks who are bummed about Firefly should check this place out) Not really a big deal for us, we are not prudes by ANY stretch of the imagination but it was a bit awkward for the first few seconds.....we just ended up having a good laugh about it after that.
We checked out the grounds and walked down by the water to absorb some of the Na-trall medicine that Jamaica seems to provide for us mentally. Does anyone else on here feel better, I mean actually Feel......Better when you're on the island? I know that I sure do.....and I ain't talkin about the brownies. (yet)
Next up.....first night follies.
