Because we weren't in an all-inclusive we had a driver , cook/housekeeper and our cook's son that was a bit of security and a "groundskeeper". Our driver "Winston" an older fellow, took us to all the places you don't always get to see and we got to experience the side of Jamaica that is not part of your normal trip. The only drawback to this villa was that it was a 20 minute drive to the beaches...other than that it was AMAZING! We had to pay minimal gas fees and he took us everywhere....and helped us learn their way of speaking english which was very very cool! I'd recommend Jamaica ANYDAY! As I said in my earlier post it was FANTASTIC!

WOW! Your trip there sounds awesome! I wanna go now! hehe Damn too many decisions now. Searching like crazy... What activites or events do you do there though? Does Jamaica have Turquoise waters? Or is it dark blue like the pics? Was it breath taking? How was the weather there when you went in December? Did they celebrate Christmas? How long did you go for?

Yeah that was the only thing about the all-inclusive and being stuck on resort, I wasn't sure off. I love to venture! Thanks for any input! Much appreciated! :mrgreen:

i got married at sunscape the beach resort in punta cana in january, it was a super resort but the beach's thier are rocky too bad it was so windy we couldnt do much water activitys but it was still great.

I was there back in 1998, it was one of the stops on a Cruise I was on, I got married in Puerto Rico on the same Cruise. I never stayed in a resort there, so I can't comment on it, I did tour some of it though. I have heard nothing but good things from people who have stayed at one of it's resorts.

Buenas noches

Yeah I thought someone posted once that it was windy in Punta Cana during Dec -Jan. Bummer but so good to know. No fun if you can't do any water activities. I will have to go another time then. :sad: But for future reference.. Did you like the, Sunscape Beach Resort? :question: Did you get bugged by time share sale's people? I heard that happens.

I think we decided to go to Jamaica for Christmas this year! WoOhOO! Just researching about Jamaica now. Anyone else been there?

Any info appreciated. Thanks a bunch

it was the most amaising resort ive ever seen and i would recomend anyone to go thier,i wasnt bugged by anyone except the few people selling paintings and day trips wich was no bother at all and i recomend going on as many trips as you can.

Would love to dive there and see a HUGE puffy, if thats even possible. It's a bummer its windy during xmas time or else I would be going there instead of Jamaica.
