Jamaica

[thurley42]

I didn't go to Sandals in Jamaica, but I went to Beaches - Negril and had a miserable time. I'd never go back there again.

The bus drive from Kingston airport to Negril was harrowing and LONG, and once you got to Beaches, the accommodations were below average, and the food sub-par. The only nice thing about the place was the beach.

Hope you have a better time there than I did.

ouch...Montego is an hour away from Negril...Kingston is like what...4 hours?

I didn't think it was all nude

I didn't see anywhere on the site that it was all nude but I remember seeing something about it being clothing optional.

I was looking at some pics on the site... THEY HAVE POOL POOL!!!

And souviners? (Tshirts)

The one with the swingers weekend? That was weird and gross

I think I did see the Real Sex about Hedonism.... I remember it was on tv and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on E! I did see boobs so it was prob Real Sex.

You probably got piss poor accommodations due to the 220 pounds of dead weight you were carrying around with you

Are all of the Sandal Resorts "Adults only" ?

From what I read the Sandal Resorts are couple/adult only but the Sandals BEACHES are the family resorts.

Let me know what you decide. We just can't make a decision and keep looking and looking. They all look so beautiful.

What do they have to do besides the beaches, pools and eating?
Do they have any shopping, casinos, other activties?

Peace and quiet and time with each other. DH wants to venture out into the beautiful water.

No casinos......There is one in Ocho Rios but it is off the resort in the city. If you want secluded beaches with an emphasis on the water and privacy, Whitehouse is for you!

THey have a few shops on the resort, and you can pay to go on a shopping tour. Most of the stores are selling either novelty souveniers or watches/jewelery. But you get it tax free and they will haggle with you...plus most of them give you free booze while you walk around in their store!

No shiat. This was pre-Bob, though. This was another 185 pounds of dead weight I went with.

How much does it normally cost for a weeks vacation including air fare?

How much does it normally cost for a weeks vacation including air fare?

it really depends.....on room, resort....airfare...it can vary between 3-17 grand....they have a lot of discounted packages and specials. I just saw one on tv last night that they were doing free airfare and rooms up to 40 percent off.

I would just call the Sandals people and talk about options.

Is that the best way to book: directly through Sandals and not a travel agent?

 

[bresamil]

If you get the chance, walk the falls. Its a great experience.

I've always wanted to take a cruise to Alaska but I get sea-sick. Is a cruise ship big enough that you wouldn't even know that you're on the water? I think I'd be ok as long as the boat isn't rocking too much.
