The country of Jamaica as a whole has changed a lot since our first trip there. It isn't for everyone that is for sure, but then nothing is. :)

We stayed at Jamaica Inn this past week and loved it. We enjoy being in a quiet/peaceful setting and went with another couple we'd met two years ago while on a trip to Jamaica at another resort. For the smaller more intimate resorts summer is a slower time of the year.

Our suite was literally on the beach - we stepped off our verandah and we were in the sand and steps from the ocean. :)

No hawkers on the beach or folks trying to sell you "something to smoke" at this resort.

One day we hired a man with a small fishing boat to take us to a lovely waterfalls where we were treated to a natural jacuzzi soak admist the lush foliage and the sun was shining down on us while we were in the cool rushing water...it was truly a wonderful place to be.
