Embarking on a four-day journey to Jamaica with her sister, Whitney Sughroue immersed herself in the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes of this Caribbean paradise. Splitting their time between Rose Hall and Negril, they experienced the best of both worlds, from the luxurious resorts to the cultural excursions.
Their journey began at the Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall, an adult-only haven just a short drive from the airport. Nestled adjacent to the family-friendly Hyatt Ziva, the resort boasted stunning beaches and a lively atmosphere. Whitney and her sister explored the island’s rich heritage with an excursion to Nine Mile, Bob Marley’s childhood home, and the Blue Hole. The experience was deeply moving, offering a glimpse into the life of the legendary musician and the natural beauty of Jamaica.
Their next destination was Negril, a picturesque town known for its stunning sunsets and vibrant culture. A scenic drive led them to the Hideaway at Royalton Negril, where they indulged in the warm hospitality and luxurious amenities. Despite the weather preventing cliff jumping at Rick’s Café, they savored the breathtaking views and ambiance, creating memories to last a lifetime.

The weather was delightful, with temperatures in the upper 70s at Rose Hall and slightly cooler in Negril. Transportation was smooth, with transfers arranged through Nexus and the tour to Nine Mile & Blue Hole.

Whitney’s insider tips include leaving the resort to explore the island, trying water-based excursions, and interacting with locals. She highly recommends the Nine Mile tour for a glimpse into Bob Marley’s life and a sunset experience at Rick’s Café.
