Few more pics......really enjoying our stay. Had a wonderful night at The Singing Chefs for our anniversary, lobster in a garlic basil sauce, was unbelievable and the entertainment after was incredible. Loved the setting, Jamaican yard style reset aura the and family and friends band that were awesome. Otherwise wondering around town, lazing around the pool, splashing in the sea. Red stripes are. Old and the jerk is hot, what more could you ask for!

We have never made it to the singing chef - have heard great things about it though (I think Joseph (Junior) Elliott's brother was running it) - we almost went there for music this last trip but it was our last night and we had to pack and get up early to get back to airport. We have gotten to know Junior over the years - love his cd (Rescue Me - I think it is 10 years old now). One night we ended up at a house party where Junior was singing - now that was a blast.
hey_mon, Happy Anniversary!!! If I remember correctly you got married in Negril at T-Water?? That was a really nice place!! Well no better place to spend your Anniversary than in Treasure Beach where I was lucky enough to enjoy my 25th at Sunset Resort. How's the weather been and are you having fun?? We're in the middle of a cold spell here with about 6 inches of snow so when I shiver I go to this thread to warm up. Enjoy the rest of your trip and we look forward to a lengthy trip report when you get home. Best johng
Have so enjoyed our two weeks here, can’t believe we leave in a couple of days. Sunset is a wonderful resort. Kory, Janette and the staff cannot do enough to make your stay here anything but fabulous. Have swam in the sea this week as it calmed down, the fisherman have been out again so an abundance of fresh fish, the red stripe is cold, and the weather is hot hot hot! A few more pics along the way...

hey_mon, Time flies when you're having fun!!! Very glad to know that you are enjoying your stay in TB and that you are happy at Sunset. Kory and Janette do a wonderful job taking care of their guests and Treasure Beach feels like family everywhere you go. Like you said the vibe like Negril used to be back in the good ole days! Enjoy your last couple of days and please say a big hello to Kory from me. Looking forward to your upcoming trip reports and thanks for all the photos to date. Have fun and be safe!! johng
Great pictures! Enjoy your last couple days in TB
Lovely!
I started in Kingston for a week, mostly worked (online) but managed to check out Hope Gardens and zoo one afternoon, really nice, esp Chinese garden.
I had a great two weeks in TB. The breeze kept things cool but also the sea up - we swam in our pool, at Jack Sprat beach and at Great Bay, otherwise just little dips in the waves at Calabash and Frenchmans. We scootered up to Lovers Leap one day, nicer than a few years back, if that is possible.
Our villa was Hummingbird in Old Wharf, absolutely terrific staff and home and the pool had the most beautiful mountain view, quiet but close enough to walk to everything and the beach across the road. Incredible decor and touches (Sally Henzell design).
I moved to Welcoming Vibes for my solo time in between friend-groups and that view is to die for, also a good workout going up the steps. Super nice owner. Spent one night at Golden Sands just because I was attending a live band next door that night and it was convenient. Very basic but locationlocationlocation.
Back to Hummingbird for next group felt like coming home.
We finished with 2 nights in Negril, via Belmont for a swim stop on the beach - always so nice there, one day I will stay a few days.
In Negril we stayed at Boardwalk Village which was the only place we could find in budget with what we wanted and it was quite nice. I'd been before but only for a show/dinner. They have cruise people come for the middle of the day on some days, but we were treated special as hotel guests (beach chairs and umbrellas set up early etc). Great rooms and the location is WAAAYYYY up in the middle of the AIs, but the beach is gorgeous.
We took a beach walk so far we had to take a boat back
Ate up at 3 Dives both nights we were in town, excellent as always.
Managed to meet a few old-time never-met boardies too!
I will write about it/post pictures at some point i hope, as I get time.
Sounds like a great trip Liz!! Was Tattyann your cook at Hummingbird? I thought someone told me she was working there now. Hummingbird looks like a great place - I love Sally Henzell's designs! We usually ride our bikes out that way a few times while there - down to Taino Cove and then take the path around the pond over to Great Bay.
Yes she sure was! Loved her personally and her cooking too!
We did the same bike ride on the dirt track to GB to swim and hang out at Lobster Pot. Nice easy ride.
hey_mon, Wishing you and Michael a safe trip home!! I hope that your 2 weeks in TB were awesome and look forward to hearing all about the trip when you get around to writing about it. Take care and be safe! johng
