After leaving customs, we were whisked away from the airport to the hills above Montego Bay. Upon our arrival at the home, we were greeted with rum punch and our bags were taken to our room. The relaxation had begun! For the next several days we enjoyed great service, including wonderful meals served alfresco. The home itself is beautiful. The individual rooms are quite private, while the common areas are spacious and inviting. The view from the living room porch of Montego Bay is mesmerizing. A stroll around the property gives a good introduction to the tropical plants and birds of the island. In the mornings, we awoke to find fresh, hot coffee just outside the door. In the evenings, we enjoyed watching the bright blue bay give way to twinkling lights. Be aware that excursions to the beach involve a little planning but the staff makes it easy. In addition, we enjoyed a performance one evening by a drum and dance group followed by a Jamaican dinner which was a great experience. Overall, this is a great place to come truly kick back and be pampered with a group of like-minded friends. – Meg
