Sweet Spot Restaurant Review

Sweet Spot Restaurant is located on Norman Manley Blvd, across from The Grand Pineapple Hotel in Negril. This authentic Jamaican restaurant serves up some real tasty food such as, curried goat and rice, fried chicken and rice and peas, escovitch fish, conch soup, and so many others to choose from. My favorite dish is the stew chicken. If you travel to Negril and yearn for some some real Jamaican food ,make a stop at Sweet Spot. The service is very fast, and friendly, and you can have your meal there, or you can do take it out.

ClubHotel Riu Negril Review

Had a great time at Club Riu, Negril.  Love the staff who were friendly and welcoming, and as a result, made my 7 days visit a memorable experience. Our room was very impressive, very large with a huge closet and bathroom. The bathroom had a large glass shower, hair dryer, towels and toiletries. The room was equipped with comfortable beds, flat screen T.V., dresser, table and chairs, in-room safe, iron and ironing board; a fully stocked bar and refrigerator. The balcony was very large with a beautiful garden view. Our room was cleaned daily. This resort is situated on Bloody Bay Beach, surrounding by sprawling trees, beautiful plants and fruit trees.  As soon as you entered the newly renovated lobby your eyes will be fixated on one of the several pools on site.  There are five restaurants that serves both Jamaican and International cuisine; three of which requires reservations. There is also a 24 hours’ sports bar, a beach bar, and a huge bar in the lobby. Nightly entertainment is provided.  My best experience was being surprised at dinner on my birthday, they gave me a beautiful cake and sang for me to the delight of all the other diners who joined in to serenade me. When I returned to my room I found 2 beautiful fruit platters and birthday wishes on my table, I was elated.  My only complaint is, when were first checked in, we were left on our own to find our room, and we had to drag our luggage up tree flights of stairs.   However, I had one of the best vacation, and I will return.  

The Shangri-La Hotel Review

The Shangri-La hotel is located in downtown Toronto at 180 University Avenue. This luxury hotel boast 202 beautiful rooms and all rooms are equipped with a mini bar, Ipad, WiFi and 24-hour room service. The décor throughout this hotel is exceptional, just beautiful on the day of my visit. Former Prime Minister Joe Clark was having a function in one of the conference room and next to this room York University was having Its Alumni Social. This hotel hosts a lot of prestigious functions for high profile people. As you enter into the lobby there was musical entertainment; people hanging out eating and drinking having a wonderful time while being entertained. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Anyone visiting Toronto and looking for a 5-star luxury hotel I recommend Shangri-La, you will not be disappointed for more information on this hotel you can go on their website.

Mary Gate of Heaven Catholic Church Review

 

Visited Mary Gate of Heaven Catholic Church on Norman Manley Blvd in Negril on Sunday, January the 3rd. The church was packed to capacity, standing room only with tourists and locals. Father Jim gave a wonderful sermon, and the service was very uplifting and inspiring. I have been visiting Mary Gate for years, and I have always enjoy the music, and the warm reception from both Father Jim and church members. If you are visiting Negril and looking for a place to worship, Mary Gate is right across from the Sandy Heaven hotel.

Drifter's Bar and Restaurant Review

The best compliment is a referral, and it holds so true, while I was in Negril I was referred to Drifter's Bar and Restaurant located on the 7 mile beach. They have a live band on Sunday’s and Wednesday’s that provides great entertainment, dancing and socializing with tourist and some locals. The restaurant serves up delicious meals, by the very friendly staff. I had the grilled lobster and baked potatoes, so tasty and very reasonable priced, I kept gong back. If you are ever in Negril, make sure you visit Drifters for great entertainment and amazing food. My only complaint is they need to fixed the water puddles surrounding the entrance from Norman Manley Blvd.  Overall great experience.

Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) Review

The Royal Ontario Museum is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada. It is one of the largest museum in North American, and the largest in Canada. It is a museum of arts,world culture, and natural history in Toronto. There are so many artifacts to explore; galleries of ancient Egypt, displays of ancient dinosaurs, so much to analyze. This is a very large facility that offers visitors shopping, dining,as well as hosting large events. The event I attended was held in the room surrounded by dinosaurs; very intriguing, I was amazed by the architecture and the whole ambiance of this facility. For those who live in the GTA who have never visit ROM, or if you are visiting Toronto, please visit this facility, you will be very happy you did.

Dunn's River Falls and Park Review

In the picturesque town of Ocho Rios lies one of Jamaica's favorite attraction, The Dunns River Falls and Park .At the base of the falls is this beautiful beach  that meets the river. so you can swim in the beach, then climb the falls with the tour guides forming a chain. I have visited this place on many occasion, and each time it gets better and better; it evokes such an exhilarated feeling like no other you will be energized. There is a craft market at the top of the falls where can purchase Jamaican arts and craft. A great place to visit  when vacationing in Jamaica. 

Keney's Chinese Restaurant Review

Keney's Chinese Restaurant is located at Hidden Paradise Hotel on Norman Manley Blvd in Negril, Jamaica. I ate at Keney's Chinese restaurant on many occasions while I was in Negril. The food was always prepared fresh, service was very fast, and food was very tasty. The menu displayed many different types of Chinese dishes such as mala chicken, sweet and sour chicken/pork, lobster, etc. The restaurant is very clean and and the atmosphere is very inviting; there is also a bar for your drinking pleasure . Overall, a good place to eat for groups, family or solo .

De Bar Restaurant and Grill Review

I went to De bar restaurant and grill with a few friends and had a wonderful time.The jerk chicken and festival was so good and the price was very  reasonable. They also served a variety of other dishes, and the bar serves both domestic and international liquor. My only complaint is I wish some of the patrons would refrain from smoking so close to the bar,out of respect for other people. Also, De bar is not located on Norman Manley Blvd, it's on West End Rd in Negril.

Kuyaba Restaurant and Bar Review

I had a great experience dining at Kuyaba restaurant and bar in Negril. I really love the atmosphere of this restaurant, which is set on a large deck right on the beach.The menu is a combination of authentic Jamaican and international dishes and all meals are cooked to order. I ordered escovitch fish with baked potatoe and topped off with a glass of Strawberry daiquiri. Mr Davis delivered an excellent service and should be commended.

Legends Beach Resort Review

Legends Beach resort is located on Norman Manley Blvd in Negril, Jamaica on the famous Negril 7 Miles beach; very close to shops, restaurant, and several night clubs. My first impression of Legends was the friendly staff, Katie-ann the receptionist was very welcoming, her beautiful smile and her kind mannerisms put my mind at ease immediately. She booked me into my room and gave me a brief orientation of the hotel’s policies. The room was elegantly furnished with 2 double beds, large flat screen T.V., phone, large bathroom and new towels. I was very impressed truly a superior room; It was so sad they could only accommodate me for one night, since they were booked solid.

There is a restaurant right on their private beach, swimming pool, and other amenities. I must say thanks to the housekeeper that was on duty that evening December 31^st but most of all many thanks to the lady that found my documents and returned it all to me. I will return to Legends, and I will recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Negril.
