My husband and I took and vacation to a Jamaican
Beach last year. Previously
we had taken an all inclusive vacation to Ocho Rios, so this
year, we went to Negril Jamaica and we were so happy that we
did. We arrived in Jamaica
at about about 5:00pm took a taxi to Negril. We were greeted
warmly when arriving at our Beach Villa.
Our
villa was luxurious and clean, and just off the edge of the
water. They were even more impressive than they had looked on
the website through which we had made the bookings.
The rooms in our Beach Villa were spacious.
They had a full kitchen and an in-room safe. The staff helped
us throught the beautifull garden to our villa, and even carried
our bags.
Our rooms had king size beds, lovely night
stands, cable television, futons, and a lovely dining set in
the living room. Our room had a large balcony which overlooked
the sea. The whole villa faced to the west, so we had incredible
views of the sunset every evening. Negril is widely known for
the beautiful sunsets that it plays host to every night.
We spent our evening on negril Beach, visiting
many of the fantastic nightclubs and restaurants along the beach.
We enjoyed many of the local Jamaican dishes. We were very happy
that we had chosen to stay in a beach villa rather than in an
all-inclusive resort, since we would not have been able to experience
the true feeling of Negril.
We watched some great local reggae bands at
some of the nightclubs on Negril Beach beach, and had a great
time.
We did a bit of shopping at some of the local
markets during our stay in Negril. There were many local artists
and craftsmen selling their goods at small booths along the
beach. Some of their work was incredible, and truly inspiring
works of Jamaican art.
We did a lot of swimming in the warm water.
We saw lots of fish and other sea creatures. The water was so
clear that you could easily see thirty feet or more while underneath
the water. We also did some snorkeling while we were in Negril,
since we had already known that Negril was famous for it's incredible
reefs and undersea life. There were many small fish that would
come right up to us and feed directly out of our hands.
There was a lovely restaurant right next door
to our vills, where we enjoyed many great meals. The resaurant
also served drinks, which was really great, since we could step
right out of our villa and directly up to the bar for a refreshing
beverage any time of day and late into the night.
