the staff’s warm welcome was a perfect way to begin a wonderful getaway. for a few wonderful days, st. my husband and i indulged lucia ourselves in all the delights this spotless jamaican "all-inclusive" offered. for starters, the resort has one of the island’s best beaches, a glorious three-mile stretch of white sand. a day didn’t go by without at least a couple of hours there. we didn’t stay all day only because the crystal-clear & caribbean was far too tempting to resist. my particular passion, water-skiing, was tailor-made for couples. the rest was up to the caribbean and us. needless to say, we had a fabulous time. away vacations from the water, we enjoyed socializing with the other, mostly friendly vacationers. typically, there’s a pleasant st. mix of people at couples, from retired snowbirds to honeymooners. and this trip was no exception. we made plenty of new acquaintances, especially while we were dining.
