My Amazing Birthday In Jamaica!

April 3, 2019 by Alicia Jones 11 Comments

You know I was thinking back to my wonderful birthday stay at Secrets in Montego for my birthday. If you are not familiar with this resort it’s located in Montego Bay, Jamaica and it’s called Secrets St. James.

I originally booked an oceanfront room on the Wild Orchid side for a real sweet deal. The wonderful lady who I was speaking with named Claudette about room preferences was able to upgrade us to a Master suite! Best birthday gift ever! The room was so amazing! It had a Jacuzzi on the balcony and the balcony was huge! Also the master suites and presidential suites comes with butlers. So they give you a phone that you can use to call them and they will bring you whatever you need.

The room also had a huge jet tub, a separate living room area and nice sized bed. Unlike the other suites in the resort, the bathroom has two wooden sliding doors for more privacy.

For my birthday my fiance gifted me a nice massage and when I got back to the room I came back to a nice surprise!

I felt so special! Dinner that night was great! They even gave me a special little cake after dinner.

Check out the amazing view we had from the room!

Since I was turning 30, I wanted to make this birthday very special. There are so many people that I knew and grew up with that will never see 30. Whatever you decide to do for your birthday make it special, because you are blessed to see another year.

I will leave you with some of my favorite pics from this trip. Enjoy!

Sheraton Vistana Resort Villa

December 26, 2018 by Alicia Jones Leave a Comment

Was here in March and stayed in a two bedroom villa. It’s so family friendly so I chose to come back for a mother daughter trip. I called about two weeks before departure to request a balcony. (ALL ONE BEDROOM SUITES DO NOT COME WITH BALCONIES) I was told they could see what they could do but it would not be guaranteed. We arrived around 8:30 pm and I was disappointed to learn that we would not get a balcony. So I called and asked they next day could I switch and they accommodated me. I was super excited about this!

The villa we stayed in was a little bigger than the one bedroom without the balcony. I loved this. Don’t think I would have enjoyed the other room as it was much smaller. Last time my bathroom didn’t get as clean as I liked it to be so I stopped by the local Walmart, bought my own cleaning supplies, and cleaned the bathroom. We stayed on the Cascades side this time and was super close to the pool. One part was only 1 feet with sprinklers, that was really fun for my two year old.

My favorite restaurant was the Tiki Bar and grill which I couldn’t seem to find this time so I just ordered it to be delivered to my villa. The Castaways restaurant was good and so was Zimmies. Breakfast, just like last time was not good so we only ate here one day and other places other days. So if you want good food for breakfast go outside the hotel.

I would stay here again because it’s so kid friendly and close to everything. They also tried to get me to sign up for the timeshare again which I politely said no to. You can purchase your tickets to the parks at the main office which is very convenient.

I absolutely love this wig! I got it from Tonidaley.com in the color 1b. I have gotten so many compliments on this hair! It blends in well with my natural hair. If you don’t have one get one. It comes in different colors!
