For the record, this trip happened in June 2017. Why am I posting this now? One -because I was lazy and didn’t post it; and, two – we’re going back to Jamaica in December – to Port Antonio and to the mountains. So, here is my last post on Jamaica…
We love Jamaica. And we need a fix every couple of years. So where best to go for a quick get away – you’ve got it – Jamaica!! But not Negril or Mo Bay. We opted for Jake’s in Treasure Beach just a 2 1/2 hour drive from the airport. It’s worth it. If you’re looking for a lot of action this isn’t for you. But if you want to chill and eat some great Jamaican food, Treasure Beach is the place. Located on the South Coast of Jamaica, Jake’s is owned by the Hensell family, of the Harder They Come movie fame. It’s a labor of love, the original cottage was owned by Sally Hensell’s family and she expanded on it. Each cottage and villa are individually decorated, colorful, quirky but with all the amenities and a fabulous outdoor shower, completely original. What did we do? We did go to YS Falls one day. YS Falls is a park with beautiful waterfalls that you can be guided through. You reach it by a shuttle and during the ride to the falls the guide points out the countless varieties of trees and plants. Other than that, we did pretty much nothing except work on the tan, read good books and play Scrabble. Here’s a little slice of Jake’s and the South Coast.
After jumping from the rope swing (about 20 ft) we need some Jerk!!
More from Treasure Beach…
So what more do you need other than some sun, Reggae, Jerk and relaxation!!
Yah mon, peace, love and respect!!
