Hello Hackwriter, Sorry on the loss of your husband. We will be trying The Westender Inn this winter this last trip we actually were so lucky to have been able to stay in a private residence off of Westland Mtn. Rd. (by canoe bar). But it was in the hustle and bustle of everything and we are light sleepers so it wasn't for us, beautiful home though, my friend started working at Westender so we got to check out some of the rooms and cabins. Jackie's on the Reef is a 3 min. walk from Westender. All the ppl. we talked to really loved the fact that it was so peaceful there. The van (driver) will take you to the beach or town for $3.50 ea. way. Westender has 2 pools wi-fi, ac, cable, a restaurant/bar, we will be there mid jan. Lots of ppl. on here really like Catcha, but that's really close to Rick's and all that goes with that. I agree with you that Jamaica has the ability to make everything seem betterIt's a great place to heal, I don't feel most of my aches and pains while there, the tension just leaves me, and i even manage to loose a few lbs. effortlessly while there, Hoping for 30 lbs this yr (will be there for 84 days) should be doable.
