The beautiful Kariya Park is located in the heart of downtown Mississauga, across from Square One Shopping Mall. This beautiful park boasts the Japanese Garden a gift from the Japanese Government to the city of Mississauga. This park is hot spot for wedding and prom photographs or any any other occasion, just a few months ago, Jaden Smith and Cara Delevingne filmed a scene for their movie "Life in a year." It has a tranquil lake which is surrounded by cherry blossom trees, various animals (ducks and turtles,) and a bridge overlooking the great scenery. If your visiting Toronto, Canada and you're in the Mississauga area, make this a destination that you visit.

Snug Harbour Restaurant Review
Went to Snug Harbour with family for my birthday celebration. The service was excellent, the food was delicious done to perfection,one the best seafood dishes I ever had. The atmosphere inside and outside was superb. While waiting to be seated, we went for a walk along the Harbour. The speed boats and the jet skis circled around, and the sun begun, to set "so beautiful". After a hour and a half wait time we were ushered to our table, and the excellent service begun. Our food was served in a timely fashioned we enjoyed every bit of it.The in house band was very versatile playing Pop, rock, reggae, calypso, or what ever music your heart desires....Loved every moment!!

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.

Sweet Spice Restaurant Review
I went to Sweet Spice Restaurant for
dinner, and I was very impressed. The decor was very beautiful, very
clean, service was excellent, and the food was great. The menu has a
large selection of various dishes,such as, oxtail served with rice and
peas,curry goat, fried or escovitch fish; and so many other dishes, I
can't name them all. My only complaint they did not served the drink I
requested, but overall great service.
