To each their own. My wife hates moving mid trip so after trying that once we will never do it again.
To each their own. My wife hates moving mid trip so after trying that once we will never do it again.
We stayed 10 days in December and moved once in the middle. I liked the change, but packing and unpacking is a pain. When we booked our next trip, originally the plan was to do a 5/4 beach/cliff split. A couple of weeks ago we decided we'd rather just stay put, so 9 nights on the beach it is. We added one last night at Seastar, but we won't need to unpack for thatWe don't pack light and like to be settled, so one is good for us.
we are doing white sands for several nights, (new area of beach for us) and moving to shields (Our end of the beach), and doing the last 2 nights at catcha to unwind and relax...we love the beach, but winding down on the cliffs sounds like a good idea...
we moved from legends to catcha and back to legends on last trip...the different sceneries was great...moving sucks, but finally got a system down...oh yeah, came in early and stayed at bb for that one night, another move...but we are moving around this trip, so must not suck too bad, eh?
one of the keys is to try to keep the things you are not using at this stop in the same suitcase...I cant sit still anyway, so I do most of the packing, moving stuff...so Janet doesnt mind moving as much as she used to...
good thing about samsara, is you can shuttle between beach and cliffs and use the facilities at both....

^Groove.....if you are there end of April/beginning of May your move to Catcha might not be a good one for "Winding down"
Sorry in advance
LMAO!
We like to unpack like we own the place and feel all settled in, so multiple moves are out of the question for us. We do however do a split between the beach and the cliffs. Yes it takes up the better part of an afternoon to get all of the packing, moving, and unpacking done, but as long as it's only once, I can manage it.
I wish I was adventurous enough to live out of my suitcase and make lots of moves to experience different places in one trip, but if we just stay at a place or two each trip we will have to make LOTS of trips to experience lots of different places
Marley, I think you are right!! Groove didn't like Catcha last time cuz there wasn't enough going on for him. Don't think this will be a problem at all this time around!

Last time we spent 9 nights at The Tree House, had a great time but didn't make it to the cliffs until the second to last night, didn't realize what we were missing. Also didn't make it to the other end of the beach, only got as far as Legends. The visit before that we spent the week in Ocho Rios at the Jewel Dunns River which was fun, but we barely left the resort. This time I hope to get more of a taste of the cliffs, and with the exchange and shuttle to/from Samsara and Legends we will be able to walk the parts of the beach we missed last time.
My only regret is I made the wife happy (mostly AI) but now I'm worried I'll miss bar-hopping on the beach... There's a couple of spots I really want to hit again (bar @ Firefly, loved grabbing a Red Stripe and laying in the loungers under the tree on the beach... well except for the awkward conversation my wife and I had with the elderly topless woman... killer rum punch at Sea Splash... the "special" cake at Aunties...) hopefully my wife won't give me a hard time about spending money when "the food and drinks at the resort are free"!
