Thank you so much!

I went to beaches in Jamaica orcho rios last year. 2022 I decided to make vacation a family tradition for every mothers day. Myself and my three kids. Right now I’m Looking into Turks for 2025 may. Have you and ur family visited coconut bay resort in Saint Lucia? U should check it out. I’m either gonna go there next or Turks and Caicos.

we haven’t but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Yes the splash part looks fun

The water is beautiful in Jamaica. But it’s not the same as Turks. The beach is smaller (not as wide). I think the sand in Turks is a bit whiter so it makes the water look brighter. If you are going with another family, you will have a great time. It’s different though. I found it very relaxing. You just have to adjust your expectations. Think of it like a whole different resort experience.

@ thank you !

Yes all non-motorized water activities are included!

@@martyn-h.m-h7598 they play reggae. But they also play all kinds of music. They have some live entertainment and fun shows.

@@liamclinetheater yes!

Yes they definitely do. You can actually meet with a chef upon arrival to discuss dietary needs and make a plan together.

The only problem with my room was that I felt the bathroom was a little small for a family of four. Family members who were in different rooms had bigger bathrooms though. So I don’t think I’d recommend our specific room for that reason. Although we weren’t in the room that much :)

Which one are you planning to go to? If possible, can he get his scuba certification before going? Because scuba is included and would be a great adventure for a teenager! If you go to Negril, teens would probably love to go off property to ricks cafe and do cliff jumping.

I’m so glad Turks was great! Negril will be great too just different :)

Thank you!

I hope you have a wonderful vacation in your beautiful Jamaica!!

@@allibeemomlifefamilyadventures thank you.........looking forward to it

I didn’t know that. But I do know it’s delicious :) Thanks for sharing!

@@allibeemomlifefamilyadventures Most welcome... Maybe you can google jamaican festival recipe and learn to make it for yourself.

Hi, I haven’t been to Ochos rios yet. But friends that have been there said the beach is small and that the water park was great. That’s all I know though. Thanks for watching!!

It’s hard to beat Turks & Caicos. If you LOVE Turks, Negril may seem like a whole different brand to you. It’s a lot smaller. If you have kids, you can’t really beat Beaches. If you don’t have kids, I feel like there are so many options out there!

Thanks for watching!

Both are fun! I need to go back :)

Thank you!!

Thank you! Enjoy your trip! It’ll be awesome!

Same :)

Did you decide which property? I hope my video helped :)

Yes. Negril! I prefer the smaller and personal experience with the staff. It’s been 15 years since I been to Negril and they also had the Beaches Sandy Bay Property back then. I would love to return and visit Turks and Caicos next. 🎉

You can’t go wrong!

Yes! I’m in Berkeley too :)

Have a great trip!

Thank you! I think at that age all-inclusive makes a vacation more enjoyable. Hilton Rose Hall is easy and so fun. A beautiful place with such good people. The beaches resorts are great too. Anything that’s easy to get to helps with young kids. I’m a Disney expert if you need advice there as well :) I hope you figure it out and have a great vacation!!

The construction is near the Caribbean village. I have heard that the noise can be a problem. I have not personally been there since they started. My advice is to become a sandals select member. If you’ve booked the Caribbean section, ask them to please put you in a room away from the construction or even in a different village. Being a sandals select member will help with this :) We are 💯 on upgrades when we have visited! I think it’s because we are loyal sandals select members.

Yes, if you go on their website, click on things to do in the menu bar and scroll down for a description of the nightlife. They have a variety of nighttime entertainment and events. There’s a daily schedule.

Thank you! I’m happy to have him around. Def scared me. He was on my front walkway when I can home from walking the dog😮

Will definitely leave him alone. We live near the woods so luckily he went right back where he belongs :)

Phew! Good to know!

There’s some shade under palms trees. But you are right probably more sun than shade.

@@allibeemomlifefamilyadventures Thank you for replying ☺ have a nice day!

Yes, same as US. I can’t remember about the USB. I brought my regular iPhone charger and charged on the night stand.

I think I got them at Big Lots. But you can find something similar at Walmart, Target or Home Goods.

We loved it too! I want to go back!

I hear you!!

I shop around the edges of the supermarket these days. Just trying to keep my family as healthy as we can :)

No it’s all included. Food and drinks too.

Thanks! We’ll see how it goes!

It’s great for us as adults too❤

Gracias

haha. It makes me crazy when I have a recipe on my phone and the screen keeps locking. I realize I could fix that :) Plus, I have so many printed recipes from the "old days." So this tip makes it so easy to keep checking back on the recipe.
