Jamaica Day 6-7: Winding Down

By Friday, we were nearly worn out. My notes talk about food and napping. I did get a scrub and wrap at the spa Friday morning. My skin has never felt so smooth. We went on a private 7am snorkel trip Saturday. Not my idea. But it was fun.

The guide actually went in the water with us and I'm hoping my one-use underwater camera shots turn out. Friday night was an early night in, as was Saturday.

Regarding the resort, Sandals Whitehouse, we loved it. It was generally an older crowd, even the bride on Sunday night was in her 40s. There was a smattering of folks in their 20s, most likely rebooked from Ocho Rios, which was closed due to Hurricane Sandy.

The resort was definitely upscale, from the lobby to the staff. The entertainment was great, both the local entertainment staff as well as the acts they brought in.

If you are looking for a large resort with a great beach and entertainment, this is the right place. And we are going back next December! We aren't doing the concierge room, as we didn't feel it was worth the extra cost. Really the only time we saw the guy was on our last night, when he brought us a dessert plate and expected a tip. The housecleaning staff, though, did deserve a tip, and saved the best towel-animal creation for last.
