so i ventured into unknown territory for me - the a-1's!!!
in 28 years of jamaican travel, never stepped foot into an a-1 . . . as i get older it's apparent that i am needed more comfort and pampering . . . the sunset at the palms looked inviting to me and when i saw it featued under specials at negrilone stop i decided to book 4 nights!!!
worth every penny to me, tranquil, NO CONCRETE ANYWHERE!!! real gem, the manager treast employees with respect, the place is like a manicured jungle, beautifully designed for privacy, just enough selection of food, certainly not in the same style as the "trough" type of humungous dinining rooms i experienced in mexico!! . . . 82 cottages, never crowded, the beach is excellent with a lot of loungers, beach bar, restaurant and a gorgeous stretch of beach right close to office of nature . . .
the cottages are fully air continioned which was a must for me in september, the humidity was huge . . . the fusion restaurant was great . . . the service outstanding, no soon come EVER, superb service!!!! pool inviting . . . swim up bar . . . each cottage is about 4 feet off the ground with river under it, the foliage around each cottage is lush and offers privacy.
i'm booking a return trip in april.
