nice trip--thanks for sharing. Sounds like BB has really shaped up as compared to years gone by.

I stayed at Samsara and used Legends on a few beach runs from there on my first trip. I hated how the loungers on the beach were right on top of each other like sardines in a can. I tried to move one over a little out of the fray but got chided by security and had to line it back up. It was my first trip to JA so really it was all Irie but I wouldn't go back to stay there--other budget options are better IMO. The food was nothing to write home about. But this was years ago. It may have changed since. My first time going I knew nothing of JA and was traveling solo so I went AI, big mistake food wise. But I had an amazing stay--I was just blown away by the sea, the country, the music--and now I have an incurable passion for the place. Walking that beach in the early morning, sublime. Jumping off cliffs any time of the day, excellent. Hanging with J'cans, and listening to reggae and dancehall all day long, priceless.
