Our first trip to Jamaica - TR

[Winston]

all those massages--that is the way to go, talk about true relaxation. Was the masseuse through Catcha? I am looking into find someone that can give me a massage in my room on the beach when I go. I would rather budget for a massage or two than expensive meals.

Yes, Oya is the masseuse recommended through Catcha and she is wonderful.

My budget was probably towards the higher end. I believe all rooms if not most have a fridge, so you can easily buy your own and keep them cold in the fridge. I would compare the food prices to the US. We drank a lot, so our spend might be out of wack to most. I picked up a few rounds of drinks and shots as well, so my spend might be a little high.

love your report and pics, and that puffer fish is something else! Saw one of those at Pelican Bar once..

Wow, the restaurant is about 25 percent more expensive than Seastar Inn -- i guess you pay for the view, too. For $1,400 plus groceries for five nights, it looks like you treated yourself VERY well. Bravo, my friend!

Question: the swimming cove, how calm is it in the morning? Like a pool?

G - The food and service at Ivan's was top notch, we only spent about $650 for our five days at Catcha (stayed on site for all meals and drinks, except for three lunches). Booger was the one able to spend $1400 during his seven day stay!
The cove was swimmable all the time we were there. Most of the Catcha video I took was filmed at 6am. It was never flat like a pool, always some small swell, and ranged from ripples in the morning, to low chop when wind had picked a couple times later in the day.
