Starfish Trelawny For Honeymoon?
 

We are considering Trelawny for our honeymoon because we like the less-commercial area it is located at. Can anyone share with us your comments in regard to this resort? We don't want to spend the money for a Sandals Resort. Any info will be GREATLY appreciated!!

It is a newly renovated resort marketed towards families. If you are looking for quiet, privacy and seclusion, I would go elsewhere. I am looking for info. on this place to go to with my kids and can't seem to find anyone on this board who has recently been there.

clm.<BR>You might want to check out RIU Tropical Bay. They have some great values. They do accept children, but it is not overrun with them. It is a beautiful deluxe property.<BR><BR>I personally love Couples Ocho Rios, Couples Swept Away and Couples Negril. They are ususally lower than Sandals (except for the lowest categories) and are much nicer in my opinion.<BR>The Ritz in Montego Bay also has a great all-inclusive special right now.

I stayed in Jamaica last summer at the Ritz Carlton on a special. Had a wonderful time. I don't remember much about the Trelawny. Periodically 5 star Ritz resort offers all-inclusive specials. For specials to Jamaica see www.travelzoo.com (currently a special at the Ritz including air & food) or www.libertytravel.com.<BR><BR>Hope this helps

Anon, I just booked a trip to the Ritz. How was the food, pool, beach, etc. Could you swim in the pool and jacuzzi at night? Is it really worth staying there?<BR><BR>Thanks

The Ritz was 1st class all the way. I would love to return soon!!! We ate lobster for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The service is excellent with delicious food. Be sure to go to the White Witch golf course for breakfast and/or lunch. The food prices are reasonable & the food is delicious there too. The view is spectacular from the White Witch!!! Yes, you can swim in the pool & jacuzzi at night. You can order food & drinks outside next to the pool. Their frozen fruit drinks by the pool taste great. There is a small beach behind the Ritz, but their major beach is a 5 minute ride away. I treated myself to wonderful spa treatments as well. The Ritz offers shuttle service to many places so that you don't have to get a taxi. Check with the front desk for a list of all the great places the Ritz shuttle will take you. Be sure to go to Dunn River Falls in Ochos Rios.<BR><BR>enjoy

where did you book this "great deal" for the ritz and can you tell me how much it was? thanks!

My husband and I went to the Trelawny in March of 1999. For a honeymoon, I'd do a different resort. It was just "ok." Food wasn't too good; drinks, however, were very strong. OK beach, in my opinion. We went because the price was right. Remember, you get what you pay for! If I may, I'd recommend an all-inclusive at a place like a Wyndham Resort. Good luck!
