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!

Kuyaba on 7 mile beach, since you won't be staying on that beach. They have a "treetop" table overlooking the ocean that is lovely and their food is excellent too. Another cliff option would be Rockhouse. They too have a special more private table that you can reserve.

Thank you. Made an executive decision and it always fell back to Ivan's but went up a level and doing the 100 candles option. Thank you!

SazO we did the 100 candle dinner T I and and it was great, to this day my wife still tells people about how I surprised her with this special dinner. Was there an issue with Ivan's, is that why you cancelled? They set you up away from everyone else, use candles to light the entire path &area, you have a dedicated waitress, and they give you a special printed menu with your names on it. Very romantic and done perfectly!

Thank you very much. No, no issue with Ivan's, none whatsoever, just wanted something totally out of the norm, and decided on the 100 candle option.

Thank you so much for assisting in my decision making.

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.

Thank you for your help x

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.
