Hey big bamboo - sorry I kind of horned in on your thread. Have a great time- let us know how TB is doing. We have been many times - last year was our first-time back since the pandemic. It was great and we caught up with lots of old friends. If you have not been to the lobster pot on great bay it is a cool place with good fish (we have gone for lunch). If karaoke is still going on at frenchmens reef it is a good time. Enjoy and report back when you can.

Regardless of the current conditions in Treasure Beach, I believe it is the best destination in Jamaica!! It has a price range for everyone from a Private Villa to a small room in someone's home. But the key to the Cool Vibes in TB are the local residents and their understanding of how to treat and take care of guests to their community. Unlike Negril that has grown too big too fast TB still has the small town charm that is the real attraction to Jamaica. I just saw crime statistics for St Elizabeth Parish and they are down like 25% year to year and the total number pales in comparison to Westmoreland and Hanover. A visitor can walk around TB for a week without being hustled at all. The Treasure Beach community understands that if they kill the "Golden Goose" everybody loses!!
