Despite postponing a trip to Jamaica for many years, we have no doubt it is one of the best decisions we’ve made to come to this island this winter.
We are fortunate to be in a resort with just about anything we could hope for, and surrounded by interesting attractions, and finally enjoying ideal weather, but the advantage that impresses us most is the people.
Today was a perfect example as we enjoyed impeccable service from staff in the restaurants, bars, information desks and just about everywhere else.
We had our usual breakfast in the main buffet, continuing to seek out tropical favorites. We are seeing familiar fruits but called by different names.
Today’s highlight was a trip to Mystic Mountain, just on the other side of the Bay. We could see it from our hotel, and were able to have a spectacular view of the hotel from atop the mountain. We met a couple from Philadelphia yesterday’s on the catamaran cruise, and found we were on the mountain trip today.
Having company made the trip so much more enjoyable. On arrival at the base of the mountain, we took cable cars to ride through the lush tropical rain forest to the top.
Once there, we enjoyed entertainment by drummers and dancers, views a hummingbird sanctuary and took a dip in the pool.
The panoramic view of the town, the ocean and the hotel complex was most fascinating.
For the more adventurous guests, there was the opportunity to return to the bottom of the mountain by bobsled or zip line. We chose the cable car.
Upon returning to the hotel site, we had our first experience with the beach in Ocho Rios Bay. We also checked out a couple of swimming pools.
We enjoyed an Asian supper in Momo’s before closing a full day with a thrilling magic show on the main theatre.
We are looking forward to another day of hospitality, adventure and relaxation.
