Wow! Very nice photos of Catcha! Took me back there for a minute. There is no place like it. I am looking forward to trying out the new rooms, that view was amazing.

2nuts, Great report so far so glad you had such a good time! Glad to hear all is well with Mr Nutz as well!!!

Sounds like a vacation to me.... Perfect! Your sunset pic from inside the room made my heart skip a beat! I can't wait to be in that place with "Greg" again! Oh & that porch, HOLY COW!!!
You never see it coming ... and the next thing you know ... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Day 2
This was the day of my 50th birthday and was much the same as the previous day. There is something about Catcha that makes you never want to leave. I knew about "sand gravity", but had no idea how much worse "cliff gravity" could be! We did manage to make it across the street to the store for more supplies. Then to the cliff for some sun, some swimming in the pool and the sunset.
We were lucky enough to see some dolpins swim by but they were too far out for a picture.
Back to the porch for drinks, then to Ivan's (anyone seeing the pattern here?). After a couple of drinks at the bar, since it was my birthday, we actually made it to a table for dinner! Mr. Nutz had the coconut pimento chicken, which he loved, and I had the famous seafood linguine. I was really looking forward to this, after all of the people who rave about it, and I have to say I wasn't blown away. It was good, but not great, the lobster in it was much better than we'd had the first night, but the fish had bones in it and the shrimp was overcooked. (I think maybe my expectations were too high)
After dinner we headed to the bar and had a few drinks with some nice folks that were also staying at Catcha (thanks to Richard and Russ & Pam, it was great meeting all of you!) . It was a great day, very relaxing and laid back, just what I wanted. After closing Ivan's, we managed to escape the call of the porch and headed straight to bed...
Day 3
This day was pretty much the same as the day before. I tried the sausage hash for breakfast - very tasty but the Jerk Chicken sausage was a little spicy (I'm a weenie and don't eat much spicy food, so I have a very LOW tolerance) We went to the store for more OJ and met a "bush doctor" who wanted to heal Mr. Nutz. Only in Jamaica mon...
We finally met Ben, who came up to see us on the porch, he is such a nice dog!
Here are a couple of photos from that day...

Dinner again at Ivan's. Once again the service was fantastic and tonight the food was excellent. We shared the calypso trio (mild) and the lobster thermidor, both of which were amazing.
It started raining hard while we were eating. They literally picked up our table and moved it inside; we didn't miss a beat!
Ended the day with drinks at Ivan's with our new friends and a nightcap on the porch...
2Nutz4Travel your pictures are incredible!! The airport picture literally sent my mind racing to our past experiences of arrivals and departures, and in my head the sounds that go with it. Almost like a de ja vu type moment.
Great report!!
Have fun and thanks!
