Paradise Ocean View – Black River, Jamaica
Serendipity – making desirable discoveries by accident I owe my discovery of Paradise Ocean View to two completely separate but fortuitous events that happened the same day. Let me explain. The first event was the crappy experience I was having at my previous accommodation – Golden Lagoon. The second event was meeting two awesome…

Golden Lagoon Guest House – Black River, Jamaica
You Don’t Get What You Pay For I didn’t want to start off this trip to Jamaica with an accommodation review but since I’m sitting in a cafe waiting for a ton of video to download I figured I would make use of my time. But read on….this one is entertaining to say the…

Font Hill Beach Park
If you can’t find Font Hill beach park you must be blind A couple years ago some friends and I drove by this set of signs that made us laugh our heads off and I wondered if I’d ever pass by that way again. At that time I never had the forethought to take pictures. …

Home Sweet Home – Negril, Jamaica
As part of the 2000+ kilometers I put on my Budget Rental Car on this past trip to Jamaica, I had Negril on my map again for a couple nights. Along for the ride were two of my awesome Canadian friends I’d been dragging around the island with me and I was looking forward to…

Simply The Best – Fried Chicken in Jamaica
The Name Says It All It’s called “Simply The Best” for a reason. I’m sure you’re probably tired of hearing about my fried chicken escapades all around Jamaica but this is THE one. I will stop bothering you with fried chicken posts after this one. My apologies go out to Red October and High Hopes…

Hellshire Beach – Portmore, Jamaica
I’ve Never Been A Beach Girl But…. Not many beaches (NONE!) could convince me to drive two hours to get there except now, Hellshire Beach in Portmore. I’ve heard from so many people about how nice the beach is and that the fried fish is to die for, so when I met someone from…

Pineapple Court Hotel – Ocho Rios
Ochi Lovers – You Can Totally Afford This! I just returned from another 17 days in Jamaica and have decided to do my reviews in the order they happened. Pineapple Court Hotel was where I spent my first three nights back on the island and I don’t have one single complaint about it.…

Going To Church In Jamaica
As if There’s Not Enough Heaven in Jamaica Already…. I have ALWAYS wanted to do this and I can’t believe that over nine years of traveling to Jamaica I haven’t once gone to church. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had such a gracious invitation until this year. The thought of going alone completely intimidated me…

Yoga In Jamaica
Finding My Inner Peace I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never ever jumped on the worldwide Yoga train. It was just not something that appealed to me as a “must do before I die” activity, although it looks pretty on TV when they do it on a beach in front of…

Chicken Lavish – Negril, Jamaica
It’s been years since I spent more than just one night in Negril and last month I had a reason to spend TWO whole nights. I didn’t arrive into town until after 7pm and I was starving. All I ate was a doughnut in Montego Bay – the ones you can buy at red lights…
