What about the Westender? You guys are 5-star in my book! We just returned from a week there, November 2011. We felt treated like royalty and family all at the same time. This hotel is perfect for people like us; independent minded, desirous of peace and...... a piece of the Jamaica of years ago. The ocean front location is FOR REAL - it is your personal front yard. We enjoyed snorkeling in our own private bay whenever we wanted. Watching the sun set was a highlight and glorious way to wind down every day. How about the jam session in the restaurant that featured admirable versions of 3 Little Birds and One Love with Germaine, Kemar, and Calvin as back up singers and the bonus of a dissertation about Bob Dylan, by the nomadic 60's expert Steve.^) My wife enjoyed going next door to Jackie's on the Reef for massages. The WestEnder's snapper rundown, barbecued lobster and spicy jerk pork were outstanding. When we decided to get scooters the staff arranged everything. They were appropriately concerned when we left but smiled when we returned safely. When we traveled with the hotel staff, they quietly followed along, watching every move. Germaine you were great, both driver and security guard! The Westender set us up with Nelson and his nature tour when we wanted to visit Treasure Beach. Never a dull moment with Nelson who knows something about every plant growing along side the road, as well as any town we drove through. Nelson has mastered the science of mixing safety with social contact with the use of his vehicle's horn and brings humorous interaction with other locals, Ya Mon! Our room's air conditioner worked wonderfully after each adventuresome day and the wireless connection gave access to the outside world. From the quality sheets and comforters, to the tiled baths, to the taste of the furnishings, to the view of the ocean from the balcony, the room was awesome, and Karen our housekeeper attended to our every need. The thing about the Westender is getting to go back to your own personal hacienda each night. I think the staff all living on site brings out the family atmosphere. Finally, Keith as manager you're the man! Anything we needed was handled in American time. Great job!
