No matter which resort or destination you go, one of the first questions that people ask is, "How's the food?". The dining available at any resort is key, am I right? It's one of the constants that people looks for when booking their vacation. When my daughter and I returned from Beaches Negril, I spent a lot of time talking 'food' with family and friends, and discussing in emails and messages from readers. It's ... read more

Calm the Chaos at Sandals Negril
I put down my book to hear the soft music of 'What a Wonderful World' playing in the Cucina Romana beach restaurant, just a few steps away from my lounge chair.
