Eventually we say our goodbyes to the most excellent Seastar staff and hop in a cab to Xtabi. Oh Xtabi. We set foot on the property and I feel a rush of comfort.
A little background. When we made the breakout of the AI move on our second Negril trip, we stayed a few nights at Le Mirage. I picked up some great info on the Negril.com board about Xtabi welcoming outside guests to snorkel/hang for the day, so that's what we did. After that day, I knew where we were staying next trip. That trip was April 2012.
Xtabi was running a fabulous special. 35% discount upon cash upfront! We made our way to Cottage #1. Drop our bags and deposit a few beers. I notice the TP and again feel right at home. You see so far, we had been using Sophie TP. NOTHING wrong with Sophie, but it just doesn't provide me with the warm fuzzy feeling that Cuddle does. How could you not love the bear?? AND it's baby powder scented. HA!!
We make a be-line to the bar to say hi to Omar and order up his infamous dirty banana with the overproof floater. Funny, that first sip isn't nearly as shocking as it once was. I must be stepping up to a more professional tolerance.
Another one of my mostest favoritest places in the world.
They are remodeling Cottage #6. Sweet! That's where we are staying next!
