We still love Jamaica. This time was a little different from our previous experiences there. When we arrived they were very busy so our check-in was a little chaotic. We waited 2 hours for the room key. We went to our room and it was gardenview. I then called down to the front desk to let them know this was not the correct room type and they said they would call us back but 30 minutes later there was still no call so I decided to walk back to the front desk. I waited another 47 minutes for a new key while there, other people were also back and forth to the front desk very angry for various reasons. As you can imagine I was glad to finally get my room key and begin our vacation.

I was pleased to find they now treat the outside for Mosquitos. This made our stay much more enjoyable. Food and entertainment both were good. The ocean was not clear as I remember but it was nice and warm.

This time we decided to Zip line, this was an awesome tour. The Brochure does not mention there will be quite a bit of walking on both flat as well elevated inclines but does indicates you can wear water shoes for this tour. I would not recommend wearing water shoes because in the event it rains (like it did while we were there) it was extremely slippery. Also, I would recommend to be fit enough to a walk long ways and on difficult surfaces. I almost opted not to take this tour because of the rain but very glad I went on to do it. It really was amazing.

No Room deposits were required.

This hotel used to allow the locals to come onto the property a couple nights out of the week and set-up a on resort flea market. This set-up was much better for us than actually going to the flea markets because it was less people there pressuring to purchase their merchandise however this seems to have been totally eliminated. I was actually looking forward to buying some woodcarving without the hassle of going to the flea market.

Our transfer worked out perfect we had no issues.

I would still recommend the hotel. It is a very nice get away. I have a co-worker who likes the Riu in Ocho Rios and she raves about the welcome back party they host for the returning guest so when I return to Jamaica I think I will venture out a little more and try Ocho Rios. I also recommend a little restaurant close to the resort called “Sweet Spice” we went a couple of times on our previous trips and were dying to go back. The food is excellent and while we were there we dined in and ordered take-out. This is our favorite restaurant there.
