Tensing Pen is AMAZINGLY gorgeous. As you know, that was where we stayed for our honeymoon. We had the Rock Cottage II and of all the places we have stayed so far in Negril, it was the nicest room on the inside. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are nice, the food is good, the grounds and the views are amazing. It is just a really great property. Oh and the dogs, though big, are gentle giants. Most of the time they lay under the table or coffee table in the lobby or any of their other "spots" unless they make friends with you, then they won't really bother you....but if they make friends with you, they may come visit on your porch or at your table when eating, but they are very calm. Never even heard them bark....I would say there demeanor is very similar to sweet Ben.
Now with all of that being said, I will offer this:
I think for your 10 year anniversary you should go for something right on the water. There are 2 reasons I say this
1) There is just NOTHING like that sound being right on the water. I sure wish you could have Sagi for your anniversary. But I am thinking either Banana Shout or Citronella would be similar.....that sound is amazing, that view is amazing, that feeling is amazing....and you will never forget it...Magical. I think that is the experience you should have on your anniversary. Though Tensing Pen is a BEAUTIFUL property and you will surely remember it, I don't think it would be the same feeling if staying at one of the rooms further back from the water.
2) I think you should stay some place smaller, more private, and more attentive. Now the staff at Tensing Pen was fine....but they were no comparison to the staff at Catcha, which you have experienced already. We were there for our honeymoon and no one even acknowledged it. We tried to engage in conversation with the staff and it was quick chat and then done. Nothing at all like Catcha. Now I have never stayed at Banana Shout or Citronella before, but they both look great and I think it might be more romantic at a smaller place like those. We felt just a little ignored at Tensing Pen but of course we didnt mind, we were on our honeymoon and we were in a beautiful place and we had a great time. But I just think the two of you deserve more than just a great time, and since you have experienced Catcha already and will again this trip, I just don't want you to be let down by a so-so experience at a nice property, you know what I mean?
That's just my $.02
And just so we are clear...I love Tensing Pen...it is a beautiful property, I just wanted to share my experience and perspective. I think you two deserve a MAGICAL anniversary as wonderful as the both of you are....and honestly I think you will have it no matter which place you choose!
