Sandals - The Good, The Bad and THE CHEESE

Davis and I spent the 4th of July at the Sandal's Dunn's River Villagio in Ochos Rios, Jamaica. Not very patriotic of us I know, but the wedding ate up most of our vacation time and I had a long weekend off of work. Here was our experience with Sandals:

The Good

• Beautiful Beach
• Amazing Pools - floats were aplenty!
• Tasty Frozen Beverages - The Dirty Banana rocks
• Very relaxing
• The bed was very comfortable and the room was nice- we slept wonderful

The Bad

• THE FOOD - I am admittedly a food snob but this was awful. I couldn't have stood it another day.

THE CHEESE

I cannot create a bulleted list that would justify the cheese. I have never been to a place that tries so hard to produce romance. Seriously, who wants to listen to Whitney Houston singing "I Will Always Love You" at 9:30 in the morning over breakfast. And I'm not talking about subtle music in the background. I mean blaring from Peavey's throughout the resort all day long. Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, REO Speedwagon and the list goes on. I like a good classic REO Speedwagon every once and awhile but this was ridiculous.

I will have to say, overall, we enjoyed our vacation. It was much needed and very relaxing. We were complete bums the entire weekend and it was fabulous. I haven't been that lazy since college and I even came home with my own pale version of a tan!
