Couples is one of the best all inclusive resorts in Jamaica. It truly is all inclusive: food, alcohol, water sports (most) and tips. And its for couples over 18 only. They have several resorts on the island, so why did we choose Negril? Because it is eclectic (read: nudists and hippies) and located on beautiful Bloody Bay. We found that it was the perfect fit for us - not that we are nudists or hippies - just eclectic.
We had a fabulous time. It was really relaxing sitting on the beach and floating in the Bay - but our most memorable times were when we left the resort. Forget pictures of us though - I think I'll l just share some pictures of our adventures.
We had a great time on the free sunset booze cruise. The catamaran takes you out to Rick's Cafe where you can swim into the cave, climb the stairs and then (pay the Rastas to) jump off the cliff. If you didn't want to jump you could just hang on the boat and sip a red stripe while Rasta Ralph sings to you.
On the way back from the cliffs it started to rain, hard. Some people looked for cover and some just soaked in the warm summer rain. It passed within fifteen minutes and some Jamaican fishermen approached our boat. The Captain stopped and traded a pitcher of beer and some rum for a lobster and a few fish.
We also went on excursion to Mayfield Falls. It was a full day tour where you drive in the mountains and then walk through the mineral springs. The drive was crazy. It was really neat to see the countryside, in really remote areas people would come out of their homes when they heard a car (guess they didn't get much traffic up there).
And in town we saw some neat things too. Below a Father is "carpooling" Jamaican style.
I love Jamaica.
What they say is true: Once you go, You know.
I'll be back.
