By
Lonnie Gottlieb Arthur's Golden Sunset
 |
Looking for just the right
spot to satisfy all your Negril dreams and within your budget?
Sound too good to be true?
Well, we have a great tip for you and one you will want to check
out because it is a gem. Just across the road from the center
of it all.....Alfred's.....Negril's most central location, there's
a cozy, well kept, and secure property that long time Negril
lovers have known about for many years...Arthur's Golden Sunset.
Arthur's offers the original Negril-style hospitality
that has become world famous, but you won't see this spot advertised
in the magazines or websites often visited by so many.Most find
it after arriving in Negril and do not pass this secret on to
others, as they want to keep it for themselves!
Ray & Elaine Arthurs have been dispensing their unique
style of Negril vacationing to visitors for over 30 years and
they are the experts on the ins & outs of your Negril vacation.
This family invented Negril style tourist accommodations and
are still leaders in the Negril community.They know the entire
history of the development of Negril & are happy to share
their memories & stories about all of it for their guests......just
ask!
Ray & Elaine have a lickle cottage colony in the most
central location where you can walk to all Negril's most interesting
attractions.There are 1 & 2 bedroom cottages with kitchens
and this family run spot will bend over backwards to make your
stay peaceful, restful and well looked after.

If you want genuine Jamaican home cooking, laundry, babysitting
or almost anything else, they are the folks to talk to. They
have intimate knowledge of the country areas surrounding Negril
and will be glad to arrange shopping trips, country tours, day
trips or any other activities you may want to try in Negril or
to any place in Jamaica and are generally a wonderful source
of off-the-beaten-track places to see and explore.
Their rentals are very clean, comfortable, well kept and
secure and the hospitality can't be beat. With a friendly and
helpful full time staff to see to the needs of every guest, all
this at rates which are more than reasonable, Golden Sunset is
a welcome change of pace and price from the big beachfront hotels.Their
lickle hideaway will become your private spot for relaxing after
a day out on the beach and the view of the Great Morass and the
mountains behind Negril is breezy and cool.
For the real flavor of Negril you won't want to miss a
look around their grounds and you will want to stay awhile or
longer at the Golden Sunset, Negril's original style hideaway.
You might not ever leave.

Restaurant Review The
Negril Yoga Centre
The little bells on the gate
at the Negril Yoga Centre tinkle as you walk into the garden,
just off the main road across from Coral Seas Beach Hotel......you
enter & are welcomed by the hostess who leads you to an outdoor
table with benches, right in
the gardens. |
|
The food has been ordered in advance , by phone .....or
you can simply walk in & give your order. The night we went
we had arranged for the Vegetarian Indian Feast dinner at a very
reasonable fixed price for 5 courses plus desert & beverage.
The service is informal, friendly, & your advance order allows
the staff to prepare well ahead & have the first course awaiting
your arrival.
We started our feast with an appetizer of sweet &
sour cucumber salad with onions & yogurt. Then, a lovely
drink of rice water, lime & honey, called "lassie"
was presented. The curried vegetables, brown rice & braised
carrots were served next, & were gone shortly as they were
all delicious, & very satisfying.The Indian seasonings were
a wonderful change of pace from the traditional Jamaican fare
we usually eat in Negril & the setting was peaceful &
quiet allowing us to have a relaxed conversation with our lovely
hostess, Miss Raquel who is the creative force & planner
behind the good food & extensive vegetarian menus served
at her Yoga Centre Restaurant.
Dessert was a honey flavored home made ice-cream & was the
perfect end to a great meal....we will be back soon !!

For something unusual & delicious we highly recommend dining
here.
Take a look for yourself... |
