30 DAY, 30 VACATIONS BLOG. DAY 2: ROMANCE

As promised yesterday, today we present to you our 2nd day of lock down vacation ideas. Today we venture to Jamaica. Specifically we have selected one of the most private, exclusive, romantic accommodation types available in an adult only environment. We had the opportunity to stay in this suite and let me promise you it will spoil you - forever.

Butler Village Honeymoon Romeo & Juliet One Bedroom Villa Suite with Private Pool Sanctuary

Yes, that is a mouthful. These amazing suites can be had at Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, a 2-hour transfer from the Montego Bay airport. So what makes these suites so special?

In short, this is a 1,200 square foot walled courtyard suite offering the ultimate in privacy (and romance), comprised of three sections: A luxury bedroom, a private lounge, and a vast courtyard with a private pool, hot tub and outdoor shower. Oh and by the way it comes with a butler dedicated to serve you.

The bedroom suite boasts a king size four-poster Mahogany bed, along with exquisite Mahogany matching furniture and a wall mounted flat screen TV. The substantial en-suite bathroom with separate double vanity, sunken bathtub and walk-in shower.

Across the private courtyard patio is a suite featuring an air conditioned lounge with a fully equipped kitchenette, well stocked bar with various juices, bottled water, beer, and an assortment of sodas, large comfortable L-shaped sofa, wall-mounted plasma TV and complete liquor setup based on your requests that include wine, champagne, Gin, Rum, Vodka, Whiskey, etc. The double French doors open to the amazing private courtyard. Even has a private shower.

The vast private courtyard is the focal point with its own Roman pool and hot tub, plus a private open air shower under the stars. Beautiful stone complete with waterfall flowing into the pool, and wood framing around other areas. An added bonus of this sanctuary is the privacy. No one above or below you. This is a walled-in enclave. And of course your Butler will serve you breakfast, lunch or dinner in either of your suites or in the courtyard by the pool.

We took full advantage of the Butler as much as we were comfortable with. They will escort you by private cart to breakfast, lunch, dinner, the pools, beach, shops or spa at your beck and call. For dinner they will have a preferred view table reserved for you, escort you to it, and take your drink order before disappearing until you are ready to return to your suite.

Breakfast as served by our butler

When we elected to enjoy a private lunch in our courtyard the butler would order our selected food selections from various restaurants (seafood from one, pizza from another, and burgers or appetizers and deserts from yet others. Then collect them and serve us. This is the life!
