It has taken me 10 long years, but I have finally gotten my wife to leave the AI's behind (for a little while at least.) All it took was my insisting on staying in TB for my 50th birthday last year. Now she is hooked almost as bad as I am.
Just pushed the button on December trip. Could not be happier. Taking a small group of newbies and another couple of veterans. I love showing people Jamaica for the first time.
Now the waiting will be the hardest part.
Just got back from a three week trip to Jamaica...first two weeks in Negril and our third week in Treasure Beach. Stayed at Katamah and our friends stayed at Treasure Beach Hotel and honestly don't know if we will hit Negril again!!!! Treasure Beach has got us under its spell, so like Negril back 35 years ago with its charm and quiet laid back appeal, and the prices are half of Negrils. Loved loved loved it.....

We will be there again in April/May - staying at La Sirena. So excited.

hey_mon,
How many times did I tell you how cool and Irie Treasure Beach is?? 99% of the people there (no counting tourists) are native to the area and everybody works together to look out for each other and do the right thing. If you know your way around there are some beautiful beaches to catch rays and swim but without the constant sales pitch from the beach sellers. TB is the best kept secret in JA!!!
We just returned to Negril after 4 days in Treasure Beach. We absolutely loved TB and will return next year for at least 1 week, if not longer. There is such a strong sense of community there and so quiet. There was a concert at Jack Sprats and as I looked around the crowd I saw the locals who I had I encountered during the day. We were all at the same party in the evening. It was great. I hope we can keep TB a secret so that other tourists don't interfere with the awesome vibe.
Umm, Ya'll got me thinking of TB now! We like staying in "local vibe" places. What place would you recommend with our kids 12-14. If not we can look up on vbro. Thanks for the pictures!

We also used to go to Negril and now just spend our time in TB - in fact we just got back from another great 9 days in TB. Have been renting villas for the past 6 years and booked again for next year. Check out Treasure Tours - we always rent through them. They have a ton of villas to choose from for every budget and are great to work with and are quick to respond to any questions you may have.
Ya mon. Staying at Doubloon. Treasure Tours is my go to source for Treasure Beach.
After 5 years of visiting Negril we are tired of the rat race and will be staying in TB next year. TB seems to be more our pace these days. I hope the secret isn't out!

Sounds like TB will be getting more visitors ready for a change. We are in for the TB experience!
