Relaxing at the Grand Floridian
Join Date: Jun 15

Another one for the Dunn River falls also the Appleton Rum Factory, lots of samples when we went there and was a good laugh. We also did the Martha Brae River on a raft was so lovely and relaxing. We did a boat trip to see the crocodiles can't remember where it was but was the complete opposite of a trip we did 2 months early in Florida where they where warning you about the Alligators the guy in Jamaica was stroking the crocodiles as they came up to the boat !

Thank you so much for this thread Abby! We are looking at our back up options this morning and Jamaica is currently top of the list.
We would also book through Tui as BA are coming in far more pp and would want a package. The Riu and Royalton are both the ones we are looking at, if you and Sue don't mind letting me know what you think of the hotels on your return? Our 2 weeks off work are from the 18th August and won't be booking anything until the week before just to see what, if any other restrictions are in place on the next review. You know I'm exactly like you and get ants in my pants so will definitely be booking some kind of excursions or I might fall in to some kind of Cosmopolitan coma if I'm not careful |

I'm really looking forward to all the rum I'll check out those excursions.
Hey Alicia TUI have a lot of excursions which I've been flicking through on my phone. Are you thinking of all 4 of you going? Sam and Hope would love the pool and beach life. I've no idea if there is any golf for Jim. Do they golf in Jamaica? I wonder if you'd get itchy feet and be bored with it as I know you like to keep busy on holiday. I'm so tired after the last few months I feel like I could sleep for a week so while I'm not normally a fan of the all inclusive holiday I think the laid back relaxation of pool and beach will be good for me. Our hotel has lots of water activities on offer including canoes and snorkelling etc so you would probably enjoy all that. I'll let you know how we get on. Hopefully you won't need to use the back up plans though. A x

Yay love the nails
We are staying at Riu Palace …. We completed our Jamaica Travel Authorisation today so that’s one step closer 👍 Never been to Negril before and have no idea what to expect, we love the Caribbean so hopefully we will have a great time 😊 |

Riu Palace Negril was previously called Riu Tropical Bay and our first stay in Jamaica. The beach is actually called Bloody beach from history and several other hotels close by. Next door is the Riu Club ( stayed there as well in past years ).
Further along is 7 mile beach which Negril is known for. ETA... all the Riu hotels provide 4 optics in your room so no need to wander far 😂. Usually Vodka, Barcardi, white rum and Appleton rum. I don’t drink any of those , so asked if they would swop to a gin Optic and they did. Also some beers and soft drinks from memory. Optics changed frequently 🙌🎉 You’ll have a fabulous time, try grabbing a table on outside veranda for breakfast, so calming and sets the day for you. Edited at 07:44 PM. |
