I have heard that the Caves allows people not staying at the resort to reserve one of their special cave dinners - http://www.islandoutpost.com/hotels-...-caves/dining/ About $300?
I've only looked longingly at their gate (the Caves), but it looks pretty amazing. Another option may be Blue Mahoe at the Spa. Reviews have noted that they serve a good steak, it's on my short list to try next trip.
The other recommendations are also excellent (Pushcart and Kuyaba) and Ivan's can be magical.
Chill Awhile on the beach may be a nice option. It's the restaurant at Idle Awhile hotel. I think that the best restaurants are on the cliffs, but CA has very good food. As for an excursion, we booked the cooking studio at Zimbali retreats.
I have a restaurant in the UK so going cooking on holiday is a NO NO for me. I've heard of the farm to table class/demo that they do. Sounds really good. But not for me on my holiday lol.Originally Posted by heater
Thank you for your help x
This is a no brainer for me. 100 candles at Ivan's. One of the most memorable meals of my life. 1st class location, excellent personalized service ,great food and drink. @$200. US. Rock house has an outstanding location but I was let down by service and presentation last February.
DONE!. Booked the 100 candles!. After weeks of umming and arrrring I went ahead and did it, now I'm starting to relax a little/get into Negril mode I'm no longer acting like a crazy meerkat bridezilla!. (Weird description but it was so close).
Thank you!
Instead of me personally thanking everybody individually and me getting confuzzled. Please may I take this opportunity to personally thank each and everyone of you for you excellent advice and help.
We've decided on Ivan's 100 candles! It seems I ain't gonna beat that- really looking forward to it now. I think I'd better avoid the cheesecake or else I won't be squeezing into my dress lol.
Thanks again all x
I think you made an excellent choice. I wasn't sure why you cancelled it in the first place. I personally haven't done this, but I have yet to read a bad review regarding it. It is definitely on my bucket list.
I didn't book the 100 candles initially, just made a reservation to dine at Ivan's. Then I thought I'd find a different establishment that did something really special.........the answer was in my initial reservation - just an upgrade required and job done!.
I will get some photos and leave a review either upon my return or whilst in JA (if the iPad works by the pool).
One week tomorrow it's not breakfast at Tiffany's - it's 100 candle dinner at Ivan's!. Uber excited
SazO, hope that you have a wonderful night and also best of everything for your wedding! Ivan's will send a car for you free of charge. You are on your own for return. Give yourself lots of time and have a drink before and after at the bar. It's your night! P.S Post some pics of the wedding if you can.
Thank you so much. I think I'm going to organise my own taxi before I leave the UK. We will enjoy it - heaps!!.
