tops however. The cooking (we had all Jamaican meals like ackee, fried dumplings, gungo peas soup, salt mackerel, kidney) was ok - some better than others

beef ribs, and any way he cooks chicken was delicious! Let him know you want to sample local foods, and eat lots of whatever fresh fruits are in season. Don't miss the salt fish and ackee, plantains and johnny cakes and tons of fresh cut up fruit! It's not just healthy and delicious, it's economical! We came in at well under our $30pp/day budget, and we had some big appetites in our group! It's a real bargain compared with the cost of eating every meal out at a restaurant. Remember: You have control over food costs. You are paying for the food and Sheldon is glad to prepare whatever you buy or whatever you ask him to buy. (he keeps receipts when ordering from the nearby Hillside Market AKA "Chen's", which delivers).
We enjoyed side trips to the Blue Hole Waterfall (less crowded and IMO better than Dunns River Falls); another day, after rum tasting at Hampden Estates we drifted down the Martha Brae; and on a third day trip we went to the nearby Greenwood Estate followed after dark by a swim in Glistening Waters.
So much to do, but nothing better than to lounge by the spacious pool at Primrose Path, stroll over for a swim at the gorgeous Silver Sands beach (There's a snack bar at the beach, but no need to carry money. You can run a tab), or wander over to the Fishermen's Beach just outside the gate.
There, a ten-minute walk away, you can grab a cold drink at a truly local bar and engage with the very friendly local fishermen. Tell these hard-working fishermen you are looking to eat some fish or lobster and it will magically appear at your house! (Sheldon saves receipts) Want to hike or to snorkel? Before you know it, you'll have a guide. And admire their carvings. There's some real talent there, and they'll make a carving-to-order out of local wood if you give advance notice. All, without the pressure of some of the tourist spots.
In sum, Primrose Path is an excellent choice for a large group of friends or a family reunion. Once you get used to being pampered, you'll have a truly memorable and relaxing stay.

d to replace it. We felt as though we were at home not like we were at a holiday villa.
