Jamaican Vacation!

Just a quick recap of our trip to Jamaica. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it and if you go stay in Negril on the cliffs. For hotel recommendations, I love Tensing Pen, obviously as it’s where I got married at, but also Rockhouse and Catcha Falling Star are all nearby and great resorts too.  The cliffs are a pretty amazing place, it’s like no other tropical destination – check out my wedding pics for a good example of the cliffs! We stayed a bit more inland near the beach this time (the cliffs = no beach but amazing views and sunsets) and we enjoyed it but I would rather return to the cliffs next time.  I went a totally different route and booked us a private villa at Moondance Villas that included our own personal butler, bartender and chef!  We were in the Lilac Mist villa and we really enjoyed it.  It was so awesome to have all of our meals served in our own little dining area and each morning we’d tell our chef whatever we wanted to eat that day and then they’d serve it to us whenever we wanted.  I felt so spoiled! (if you are thinking about booking it, we did opt for the All Inclusive package which was well worth it.  No buffets, all freshly prepared meals here!)

  • Bottom photo: The bedroom, they made the bed differently every day! And no, you don’t really need to use the mosquito nets since there is AC in the villa.  More for decor I guess.  Off of this was a huge bathroom and then there was a living room/dining room space on the other side of the villa.

  • Posing before lunch
  • They left these flowers around our villa every day and I got a shot of them together before they spread them out.

    It looks so beautiful! We had private villas in the resorts we stayed at in Saint Lucia and loved it! Having our own private pool and grounds with views of the mountains, beach and ocean all together was incredible! After reading your post, I'm dying to book another tropical getaway!

    @Anonymous I'm a 0 in J Crew which runs pretty true to size. I don't have any uniqlo shorts but for their jeans I'm a size 25. hope that helps!

    Hello Tiffany! My husband and I will be visiting Jamaica in May for a destination wedding in Montego Bay. We are going to spend a few days before the wedding in Negril and I remembered seeing your beautiful pics of your trips there. Tensing is completely booked during the time of our visit and we are now torn between Rockhouse and Catcha Falling Star. If you had to choose one, which would you recommend?
    Thanks for your help,
    Melissa

      Hi Melissa!

      Tough call, both are fab. Rockhouse is probably a bit more "fancy" if you can get one of their nice cliffside huts and the food at their restaurant is fab so I'd probably pick there. But Catcha is still a great place to stay at and it's a bit smaller (I think or that's the vibe I got when we stayed there) so we had more privacy laying out and being in the pool. Either way I think you'll be happy! 🙂
