Thanks! I thought it was pronounced that way.
Day 2:
It was another bright and beautiful day for Dre and I to explore Negril. Today he is taking me to the local craft market and duty free shops. We had a light breakfast, talked for an hour or so then walked out to the front of our hotel, to catch a cab. The drive was short, and I quickly took in the sights along the way. We got dropped off at a duty free shop near the bank. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and then followed around. I don’t know about anyone else, but I hate being followed while I shop…I’m the type of girl who likes to pick up things, examine carefully and then make my decision. It got so bad, I was getting irritated. So we left and took a look at the other shops nearby. I decided not to buy anything, so we went to Devon House for ice cream…Dre didn’t have any. He is a rasta…everything he eats is Ital. He was hungry so we went to Juicy Patties, and got 2 vegetable patties. We sat there and ate; this was around 1 and I noticed school children out. Andre explained that some schools have shifts, because of overcrowding. We finished and walked to the Craft market. The market is a bunch of wooden shacks, that people use to sell items. I wanted to stop in everyone but Dre said there was no way that would happen. I stopped in one shop and two local women came in and asked me to go to their shop. I agreed, and then the same thing over. It is annoying but I’m a nice person. I saw no unique pieces, everything was suppose to be handmade but I saw made in China…LOL! I got a couple items from the venders that were less pushy. One lady decided to curse me out, she had nothing I wanted to buy…so I walked away. It was hot and I was tired…walked towards the road to catch a cab and noticed a man selling jelly coconut. Dre and I shared one, it was refreshing. I was going to discard the coconut but Dre said he could eat it.
More to come….
The pictures are from along the way, when we walked from the duty free shops to the craft market. The little River was awesome. We got a chance to see locals actually catching and cleaning fish. They tossed the remains to the birds. Thats my beautiful self in the purple..I usually look better but Dre said there was no need for makeup and such...I agree, be natural, be yourself

thanks!
Kuyaba is great. We stayed there 4/29-5/2/12. You will be well taken care of by the staff and security. Hubby suffered from a jellyfish sting one day and Joanne at the bar fixed him up with a baking soda and overproof concoction to apply on the sting. He was brand new in less than 30 mins!
Really enjoying your trip report! Keep it coming...
What is your opinion on the cabins? I would like to stay in one with a kitchenette...but the deluxe rooms look very inviting.

I didn't see the interior of the cabins...wish i would have. There was one that peaked my interest and really looked cute from the outside, lol. We met a couple there who were staying in a cabin. No complaints. They were really enjoying it.
The property at Kuyaba is really beautiful. They clean the gardens from top to bottom everyday. One moring I was enjoying life on the balcony and I heard a noise above me. I look up and much to my surprise a gardener was above the building in a tree! And at night, the place sparkles with white christmas lights.... and the tree frogs....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the tree frogs *love*.
There is another boardie by the name of Mr Twister. He has a lot of experience at Kuyaba. Maybe he could answer your questions better than I.
Carry on, please!
Thanks so much! The pics Ive seen of the place are very nice. I love all the greenery...makes me wonder how they keep it so lush? I know the sun can be harsh but thumbs up to them for working so hard.
Nice report and pics. More please.
