Ahhh...Our first tropical vacation. Wayne booked a villa at the Silver Sands in October to surprise me. He did a good job of keeping the big secret until November. This link will show you pictures and a description of our villa http://www.mysilversands.com/viewvilla.aspx?bklk=MTc= . This trip was pretty much all-inclusive: We were picked up at the airport in a large van and drove to the Silver Sands Resort. Our villa came with a cook/housekeeper who cooked, cleaned, and even did our laundry! We had to pay for any excursions and groceries.
We spent out lazy days swimming, snorkeling, and basking. We had never done much snorkeling, but caught on quickly. Good snorkel equipment is well worth investing in. We loved snorkeling and saw a few sting ray and lots of little fish. We also saw a very large starfish. Our cook made us the traditional dishes of Jamaica: jerk chicken, ackee and saltfish, fish escovich, peas and rice, and johny cakes.
We spent only five days in Jamaica, but it was enough to enjoy ourselves. We didn't explore any of the island, so we didn't get a 'real' Jamaican experience, but we had a great time.
Reflections
Likes: Warm ocean, white sand...Need I say more?
Dislikes:Other than our secluded resort, it wouldn't feel that easy or safe to explore. It would be doable, just not relaxing.
Ease of travel on 1-10 scale (1=easy, 10=hard): 2
Would we go back? y/n Yes - but not unless we were going with a group our had our own family
Would be a good trip for: Families with children, groups, romance!
