Sorry for the delay! Man, life can get crazy. Phew!
So where was I? Oh yes, DAY 5! Here we go...

After our quick stop at YS Falls, we hit the road to Treasure Beach. The ride was great. I really enjoyed driving all over the island throughout our trip and seeing the different communities, the gorgeous scenery, kids going to school, different shops and restaurants... just the everyday life stuff. Love it. I won't lie though, I was beginning to get very worried as we became more and more isolated as the drive went on. I was already starting to panic that we were not in Negril anymore. When we got to Treasure Beach we hit Jack Sprats first and took Chicken for lunch. I was pretty disappointed with the menu there as it was a lot of the regular North American type foods. As vegans, there really wasn't anything we could eat there. But the restaurant itself and outdoor patio was really cute.

It was starting to get a little cloudy so we headed over the Jakes to check in and get settled. We were in Octopussy 3, the honeymoon sweet. It looked exactly like the photos online.

We got freshened up and headed to Jakes restaurant for some much needed supper. I was happy to see Ital Stew on the menu and ordered that. Jason had the pesto pasta. Now, keep in mind that when I booked Jakes many months prior to our trip, I made sure they were aware that we're vegan and I was told it was absolutely no problem to accommodate that and that they always have veggie/vegan options on the menu. I figured it would be fine and if we weren't happy with the food that we could hit up some local places off site, which is what we prefer to do anyway. When we checked in, the front desk woman verified that they had on file our food needs and again, we were told it was no problem. Back to dinner... after eating the fantastic food in Negril for a week, I was extremely disappointed by the most bland Ital Stew I have ever tasted. Jason's "pesto pasta" that he ordered with no cheese arrived swimming in a bowl of cream sauce. What part of no dairy do they not understand? We chalked it up to an off night for the kitchen, ate my bland Ital Stew, and paid at least double what we would have paid in Negril for a dinner that we couldn't even eat half of. Not a good first impression. We had a few drinks and then headed back to our villa.
