For our honeymoon we went to an all-inclusive, adults-only hotel in Jamaica, Jewel Dunn's River Resort. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to have a relaxing Caribbean vacation. And man, all-inclusive is the way to go. We drank juice from the minibar everyday and ate so much food. Now I'm craving some pineapple guava juice and a jerk chicken wrap right. It was so carefree and Jamaica is beautiful. The ocean was so warm. and the breeze was perfect. Also, bartering with shopkeepers was fun; we bought a lot of stuff.
We had a beach-facing room so the view from our hotel room was amazing (look at that view from our balcony and my hunky husband--you drink that ginger Ale). The water is so blue there and it's so relaxing just hearing the trees swaying in the wind and the ocean waves breaking. Also our room was in a very convenient location, in the middle of everything but still not noisy.
Every restaurant we went to at the hotel was amazing. We had a 5 course meal every night. And the service was so nice. Also, we usually went to dinner earlier than most people so there was never a wait.
We did two excursions. One is the Dunn's River Falls hike. It's a 900 ft cascading waterfall surrounded by trees, that you hike through. The guides scrub the falls frequently so that they aren't slippery. It was gorgeous and there were pools in between sections of the falls were you can just relax for a few minutes. We also went to a botanical garden that was just gorgeous and the flowers were so bright.
Did I already mention that our hotel was cool? Well, they left little heart shaped slices of yummy chocolate cake with a cute swan design in our room on the second day. It was pretty cute and a nice surprise to come back to.
Another excursion we did was a zip-lining package; which included: zip-lining, a bobsled ride, a vertical drop and riding on a ski lift up and down the mountainside. For some reason I decided to do my last zip-line upside down. It was terrifying yet fun. And riding the ski lift over the canopy of trees and seeing the ocean from high up was such a magnificent sight. Jamaica is probably the most beautiful place I have been.
At the top of the mountain was an infiniti pool with a water slide. You can't beat that view.
Here we are just chilling. Oh, how I miss that place.
