Checked into Travellers on Monday after three great days in a cabin at Firefly. Time for me to get fancy! AC, fridge, indoor shower!!! I think this is my third time staying with them.
I always get a kick out of how some places like to present themselves. Check in and front desk was very professional and extremely formal. I'm more of a here's your key, your room is that way kind of guy.
I was worried about the state of the pool and bar because I kept hearing about renovations but everything worked out. Pool was accessible and the new deck looks great. The bar wasn't finished yet but they had a make shift bar in the dining room where most, if not all the reg bar items and drinks were stocked. Daily breakfast that was included with my package was great. Had ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings two days and fried eggs with bacon (excellent, crispy, just how i like it!) on the last day. The ackee is offered with, boiled yam, boiled banana, fried plantains, and fried dumplings. I knew this was a ton of food and no way I was getting through all those starches, so asked for only fried dumplings. The next morning, the GF ordered before I got there and forgot to make that request. So we carb loaded. Did our best but still couldn’t finish it all.
Overall, I think Travellers offers a great value, especially for those that want a modern “hotel” experience. Definitely recommended. I personally like a little more “yard” feel; plus the location and beach isn’t optimal in my opinion. Will keep them on the radar, and would certainly jump on another group on in the future.
