From Montego Bay we took the 70 minute drive to Negril where we Checked into The Couples Swept away resort. We had a bite to eat, unpacked and hit the gorgeous beach with its powder soft sand. Of course we had to have a dip in the clear warm waters In the evening we watched the beautiful sunset over the Caribbean and had a quiet evening meal in the Patios restaurant.
Day 2.
We started the day off with an orientation tour of the Couples swept away complex with local guy Huit. First up was the very impressive sports complex which is huge.
We then visited the six restaurants that are available on site. After a spot of lunch of sushi we bumped into 6 Americans in the sea, they ordered us some drinks and we all had a good old natter.
Day 3.
We started the day off with a visit to the gym/pool to work off some of our recent indulgences. We then took a boat out to a local reef for an afternoon of snorekeling , followed by a long, slow walk down 7 mile beach.In the evening we went to the Thai restaurant called "Lemongrass" for a nice meal in a lovely setting. We then watched the staff put on an entertaining and finally we ended up in the piano bar for a sing song.
Day 4.
Another beautiful day here in Jamacia and we started it off with a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit in the "Patios".
We then took a stroll down the beach and met some interesting local characters, most of them wanted to sell you trinkets or something to smoke but they were all very pleasant and we exchanged some light hearted banter.
After tasty lunch of Red Snapper we settled down for a relaxing day on the beach and watched a glorious sunset...In the evening we were joined by eight American guests from Ohio for a buffet dinner poolside. We then watched the evening's show which included a limbo dancer, contortionist an a dance troupe telling the history of Jamaican music.
Day 5.
The day started with Rob going to the gym and Mandy doing her lengths in the impressive swimming pool.
In the afternoon we joined the "One Love " bar bus that visit 7 local bars. Our fellow passengers were 36 Americans and Canadians and it was standing room only on the bus. The final bar that we visited was set on a cliff over and gave superb views of a breath taking sunset. As we pulled back into our hotel, our driver, Lambert, announced "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the British Embassy "#
Day 6.
Our final day in Negril began will a trip out to sea on a Hobycat, Kevon, our guide took just the two of for a trip to the local reef and Booby Cay Island.
We managed to see one last wonderful sunset from the beach. In the evening we went for our final meal at "The Feathers restaurant" and we both agreed it was exceptional and as a bonus they made a mean Irish coffee. ....We have had a wonderful time at Couples swept away and the staff have been outstanding.
