Love those chair floaties at Idle Awhile...just like Couples....in fact, the Issa family owns Idle Awhile I'm told..that's why all the buildings, furniture, and everything mirrors the Couples resorts...love their little beach bathroom there, too. No one ever seems to mind us stopping there for a pit stop while we are walking the beach..
Love the floaties!!!! They never seem to mind people stopping by and it's a great place to stop for a meal!Originally Posted by lisapat
Is there a blender in the suite?
please come back --- don't make us all suffer . . .
Thank you all for the comments! I am so missing Negril this morning and our early morning dips in the ocean. We would get up in the morning, go for a dip and by the time we came out King, Needle or Sonia would have a pot of coffee and two cups waiting for us at the table. We ordered coffee one lazy morning in our room and almost by the time I had hung up the phone they were there with the pot! My husband had been sitting on the upstairs balcony in his underwear and didn't expect them so quickly. Thankfully he threw a towel on around his waist before he opened the door as he has a tendency to become way more relaxed in Jamaica than he is at home! Although, honestly, I doubt they would have batted an eyelash if he had opened the door in his skivvies. I think they see a lot of let's just say "different" behavior there!
We always have these great plans to go to different places for breakfast and lunch but that old sand gravity kicks in again so most days we had breakfast and lunch right at Idle Awhile. Some of the lunches came from the beach vendors and those were my favorite (with a freshly made banana milk shake from the restaurant). I mean how can you beat sitting on the beach having your food choices paraded in front of you for you to choose from?

Looking back at the front building from the walkway. That's the room we stayed in for the first five nights on the top floor, room #205 (for you Cleome).

We did manage to get to Treehouse one day for a very nice lunch and very cold Red Stripes. We were in Negril last July as well and it was balmy and warm. This year it was HOT and once you got away from the water it was so humid!!! I always felt soaking wet whether I was in the ocean or not! The air just sticks to your skin and turns to water as soon as it hits. When we finished our lunch at Treehouse the waitress sent Gail the owner over to our table and introduced us to her and we had a very lovely chat with her. So hard to imagine Negril as it was when she first arrived and one of my few regrets in life was that I didn't find a way to get to Jamaica sooner with my kids!
My husband on the walk to Treehouse. I like that you can see the beach and water behind him and then reflected in his glasses as well.
Treehouse! You can see that even though it's off season Treehouse was pretty busy!
AAHHHH. Can't you just taste that ice cold Red Stripe with the ocean breeze blowing?
I love the pictures! 205 looks great, I can't wait! The picture taken at Treehouse with the sailboat in the background is vibrant!
Loving this report!

Thanks Seveen. That is pretty much the look he has on his face the entire time we're there and for at least three days afterwards!
