Also, what did you think of the 100 Candles dinner at Catcha? Thank you! Baylee :-)
    The Night of a 100 candles was great they took very good care of us. I attached some pictures below.
    I have also attached some caves photos. We stayed at the Blue Hole, Stardust and I think it is the Blue Dolphin. They were all great. We like the A/C of the downstairs units, but we actually did not have a problem with Stardust without the A/C. The Caves is our #1, but it is pricy in season, so we try to create the Caves experience at other properties. Every time we have been there ours as well as the other guests desires are met.
    Caves Positives
    Glass, Glass, Glass. I can’t say it enough and have included a few photos. We hate spending good money at a beautiful location and drink out of plastic cups.
    Truly All Inclusive. Whatever you want of great drinks and food. For the most part the high end alcohols included like grey goose. With that said they do charge for high end cordial’s and high cigars in the cave bar at night.
    Food is great. Recommend the Jamaican soups, especially pumpkin and at the caves you can’t go wrong with the ever popular combo.
    Our perfect Caves schedule:
    6:30 am Coffee and Baileys in the room
    8:00 am Breakfast and Bloody’s
    9:30 am Frozen Drinks on the Lounge Chair
    10:30 am Snorkeling
    11:30 am Frozen Drinks on the Lounge Chair or pool
    12:30 pm Lunch
    1:00 pm Nap
    4:00 pm Sunset Cocktails
    6:00 pm Showers
    7:30 pm Dinner
    11pm-3am Playtime in the Resort
    In the evening you have the place to yourself. The bars are self-service, the pool is great under the stars and the sauna is open.
    We have done the cave dinning twice and enjoyed it. I could not find any pictures handy. The set it up with the candles and the flowers as seen on the web. Just prepare dress, hair and makeup for a very humid experience. It is very comfortable but you are in a cave, so be prepared to sweat. The same applies to the Cave bar open after dinner.
    We really enjoyed the private bath and would recommend reserving that. The pictures are attached. It is in a private cave with locked door. It will be set up with champagne, fruit and chocolates. There are big windows that open to the ocean and a nice padded bench. Bonus the water is changed after each use, so it is not the typical resort hottub brew.
    While we are at the caves we find it hard to leave paradise.
    I also recommend the Spa for a morning or early afternoon treatment. We did a couples sunset massage which was great except my wife was outside, and you could overhear the Rick’s sunset music which kind of drowned out the tranquil spa vibe.
    You guys will have a great time.
    One last recommendation. We always go to the bank and take a stack of 5s and 10s with us to Jamaica. It is always nice to have the correct change and we are big believers in the power of tipping, even at an all-inclusive resort.
