An Anniversary trip to Ocho Rios

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm still in Jamaica relaxing for a few days with the family after celebrating my cousin's wedding yesterday. K and I visited Jamaica back in 2012 for another destination wedding in Negril and now we're in Montego Bay so I've been looking forward to seeing a different part of the island.

My good friend and fellow blogger, Kate from Green Fashionista so generously offered to share the highlights from her wedding anniversary trip to Jamaica. They happened to visit around the same time we were there in 2012 but they stayed in Ocho Rios which is a part of the Jamaica I've yet to visit.

 
Kate and her hubby spent 4 nights at the Sunset Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios, which they chose because it's a beachfront all-inclusive resort with some beautiful pools and waterslides.
 


The swim-up bar is always a favorite when it comes to all-inclusive resorts and Kate said they immediately got in the pool when they arrived and could just feel the stress melt away.



Their days were spent lounging in the cabanas by the pool, sipping on cocktails, and enjoying the pool and waterslides.

Sounds like the perfect vacation to me and that's exactly what we've been doing.



They enjoyed some Bob Marley cocktails poolside which look delish.


I just love the view from their hotel room and it gives you a nice glimpse of Ocho Rios' coast.


Thank you Kate for sharing the highlights of your anniversary trip to Jamaica!

Hope this week treats you well!

  8. We really didn't have the opportunity to explore Jamaica that much when we stopped there on a cruise a few years ago, but that resort looks so stunning! I would love to go back for a trip sometime soon, especially if the resort looks as beautiful as that! I'm super jealous that you're lying on the beach right now while I'm rounding off my lunch break at work!
