Jamaican Me Crazy

October 29, 2009

Sparkling blue waters, long sandy beaches and a laid-back attitude make
Jamaica the perfect mid-winter getaway. Throw in some mouth-watering
jerk chicken right off an outdoor grill and you have the recipe for
paradise.

stay
Why
settle for a large resort when you can lounge in luxury at your own
private villa? True to its name, Greatview
Jamaica
near Montego Bay has magnificent views of the ocean and the
mountains plus a full-time staff dedicated to your every whim. Take a
dip in the infinity pool or enjoy a coconut smoothie at the outdoor bar.
With a personal chef, two butlers and a crew of friendly staff to look
after you, youll never want to leave. Forget five starsthis place is off
the charts. Prices start at $8,500/week for three bedrooms, www.greatviewjamaica.com

do
Take the plunge into a pool of mineral water as
you explore the hidden pleasures of the Jamaican countryside at Mayfield
Falls. Just a short drive from Greatview, the Mayfield
Falls Riverwalk
is the longest of its kind in Jamaica and its waters
are said to have healing powers. If babies are on the brain, this might
do the trick. Hey, it worked for Nicole Kidman. www.riverwalkatmayfield.com

eat
For an authentic night out head to Scotchies
Jerk House near Rose Hall, Montego Bay (876-953-8041). Dine under a
grass thatch roof on spicy jerk pork, chicken, steamed fish, breadfruit
and delightfully plump FestivalsJamaican-style donuts. Wash it all down
with a bottle of locally brewed Red Stripe beer.
