Jamaica, Mon

Jamaica is officially my new favorite all-inclusive spot! I had jerk chicken every day and heard the soothing sounds of Drake and Travis Scott floating up from the pool area... Here is my list of pros and cons!

Pros:
1. The Music
It was a mixture of hip-hop from the States and Jamaican hits. Bops.

2. The FOOD
I had jerk chicken every day on the beach from a man asking "Breast lady or leg lady? Hot sauce, sweet sauce great together". We ate at the Asian buffet 3 times lol. Doesn't get any better. The Steakhouse was also decent. Not a steak you get at momma's house but good enough for me! The buffets were phenomenal and the ice cream was off the charts.

3. The Entertainment
I don't think these people get enough credit... The entertainment crew is there from breakfast until the show is over at 10:30pm and they're always trying to make people smile. They set up multiple games by the pool and on the beach for adults and children! The Micheal Jackson show was so fun. 

4. The Location
This will also be on my Con list. A little further from the airport than ideal BUT all the excursions were pretty close to our resort! It took us 7 minutes to get to Mystic Mountain and didn't take up our entire day. It was such a relief. 

Cons:
1. The Location

Ocho Rios is a little over an hour from the airport WITHOUT stopping. We took the shared shuttle and it took every bit of 2 hours. It was dark by the time we got to the resort. We will definitely be taking Club Mobay next time! Fast track through the airport and have private transportation? No brainer. 

The location was really the only con. Jamaica was beautiful and friendly. Our shuttle driver informed us about the homes, which looked unfinished or barely held together. He said people on the island do not like to borrow money. They build a little then save a little to build more when the time comes. Instead of saying "Thank You', they said "Respect". I liked that. It gave "Thank You" a whole new feeling. Remember to take some tip money! Yea it's all-inclusive but you wouldn't stiff the bartender at home would you? I hope not! 

ONE LOVE! -Syd
