I had an amazing trip!! It was just perfect! My birthday was amazing and this by far was the best trip there out of all the times I have been there! 

Check in: 
Okay I will start off with check in. We arrived at the airport around 10:30. We got to the resort about 11. We stayed in the Master Suite at the St. James preferred side. Check in took a while. No worries we went to lunch and came back. The room still wasn’t ready. We were informed that we got there a bit early so we sat in the preferred lounge. Davion our butler,( yes butler! ) introduced himself to us and took us up to our room. WOW! 

The Suite:
The master suite is just amazing! It comes with a living room,bedroom, and separate bath area. The rooms have sliding wooden doors, which are perfect if you don’t want to disturb whoever you are on vacation with. It’s so much more private than the regular suites. We had a really nice view.The balcony has a nice size to it with a Jacuzzi and lounge area. (pics to follow) The sunsets were a little blocked by the palm trees but that’s okay. If you want a clearer view stay in the suite on the 4th floor. We were on the 3rd floor in room 4319. We were there to celebrate our birthdays. The rooms all have steamers now, they no longer have irons. I miss the irons and kinda wish they would bring them back. The shower was sooooo spacious! It was like two of the regular showers put together maybe a little bigger. The closet was in the bathroom right across from the tub. The tub was so nice. The master suite and butler service was just great! I almost felt like a celebrity! lol It was just beautiful! Caulette! Love you! Still need to meet you!! 



The Spa: 
On my birthday my fiance treated me to a spa day, so I got a wonderful massage,manicure, and pedicure. They are working on the spa so they are doing massages in rooms. I got my massage in a suite on the 3rd floor. Some people were complaining about this but I enjoyed it. It was just as relaxing. I could hear the hammering from the construction across the street because they are building another resort. It wasn’t very loud in fact I was able to sleep during my massage. Kay did a wonderful job. She did my massage, manicure and pedicure. I think all the services are available in the spa except the hydrotherapy. I enjoyed my services. 

Butler Service: The Master Suites and the Presidential suites come with a butler. Our butlers were Davion and Travis. Davion was super nice and polite. Travis helped set up the decorations in our suite for my birthday! So when I got back from my spa day I came back to beautiful decorations and a nice bath. It made my birthday so special! Ugh I wish I could rewind! Anyways! Shout out to Travis and Davion for being amazing butlers! I hope to see you guys again! 

Okay so let’s move on to the restaurants. One of our favorites restaurants  to eat at is the World Cafe. One thing that was missing this time was the Reggae music. We were there for 7 days and we didn’t hear it there at all. Not even at night at the Blue Mountain. I don’t know what they were playing but it didn’t feel right. We really missed the music. What happened? Leroy always does an amazing job at taking care of us and making sure I get my ackee and saltfish on the final day. He is great!! 

The Preferred Beach: The beach area is nice. The St. James side is closer to the construction but we didn’t mind it. We had some nice days at the beach when the weather was nice. The pool is nice as well. Shout out to Kerry-Ann she made sure I had a nice rum punch to keep me cool. 

 

The entertainment is always great! I love the house band Pace! They even took a few requests from me for songs to sing! This trip was so great I had so much fun and really really enjoyed myself. I also participated in the Talk Jamaican 
class taught by Sunshine. That class also included a Jerk class as well. I do recommend that. Also the ATM was only giving Jamaican dollars while we there. We had to go to the resort next door to get USD. We found that to be very odd. We were told the ATM was out of order.  The grounds are always kept nice and clean as there is always someone out working hard. Everyone here works so hard! If I could make all their troubles go away and give them lots of money I would. Anyway that’s it for my review If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I will be happy to answer.
