We just returned from an 8 nighter, 5 nights at Coral Seas Garden and the final 3 at Samsara. This is somewhere between 12 and 15 Jamaica trips for us, 8 or 10 to Negril. We had a good trip, some highligts were dinner at Rockhouse, the new Winery "Wine with Me" at Beachcomber, breakfast at Travelers a few mornings, etc. etc. Had some typical JA annoyances at the hotels, always hate this as it is what turns first timers off. Shouldn't be an issue to have a working A/C at check in and a flushing toilet, but that is part of the budget accomodations. We caught up with some old friends and met some new ones. We did the "One Love Pub Crawl" and the vibe has changed since we first did it almost 6 years ago, but it was still a nice time.
The boss lady said back on all-inclusive next year, so a 5 year run has ended. She wants to do Sunset at the Palms next year in July and bring some friends along. I'm sure we will bounch off property a time or two though.
The best thing we saw was lots of new construction going on! We checked out the winery "Wine with Me", its at the Beachcomber and it is really well done and has great wines and a super cool vibe. We wanted to stop by again, but just couldn't squeeze it in!
One Love.
