It's so subjective and thank god we don't want all to have the same environment! I feel hemmed in at the beach, which I know is weird. I love to go and have lunch and play in the water, etc. there is just too much stuff there for me. I like the faaaaaarrrrr west end because I like the countryside and quiet. I think the cliffs allow you to view the ocean from an amazing perspective and you can see it and hear it and smell it. I'm intrigued by the beach, some of the hotels seem awesome and if I had endless Money, I'd probably try one but I would hate in my limited resources to be at the beach and say....wish I could be back at the Westender. There is no BEST place, there is only the best for us and that can even change! Whenever I've travelled, I've always made sure that where I stayed was peaceful so that I could go back and chill.
But I know we all relax in different ways, for instance, I don't drink much, don't need it, especially in Jamaica although I do like a really nice cocktail mid- afternoon...and maybe a red stripe with my lunch......
