'We stayed at the hotel through the evening and ate dinner at Pushcart, one of the restaurants at Rockhouse. More fish, more rum, some daiquiris. A local band was there that night, playing lots of classic, mellow 1960s reggae songs,' writes marjon_carlos

Day 2 1 p.m.: Book a massage then relax by the pool We stayed in one of Rockhouse’s premium villas, which meant we were a little tucked away. We woke up to the sound of the ocean and a beautiful breakfast spread, which you get to enjoy while looking out at this wide expanse of water. They served incredibly fresh juices, and I kept getting this one green juice. Pam and I got massages and took it slow by the pool. Rockhouse really is one of those places where you can just unwind.
Day 5 10 a.m.: Start the trip to Port Antonio We hired a car to take us from Negril to Port Antonio. Normally, that drive would’ve taken three or four hours, but it took us six because we could only drive through the tourist corridor. But it wasn’t an uncomfortable drive; the people who hooked it up, Ken’s Taxis & Tours, were really nice and followed COVID protocols, and we took in the views as the coastline changed.
Lunch was at the Boston Jerk Centre. The Boston jerk seasoning is very specific to the region; I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but we indulged. After eating, we decided to walk around and ended up finding a bar in Musgrave playing 1990s R&B videos and were just like, We’re home. @media { .image-grid-image[data-uri="nymag.com/strategist/_components/image-grid-image/instances/cktx38r6e00b63g6iihmo7215@published"] img { width: 300px; } } @media { .image-grid-image[data-uri="nymag.com/strategist/_components/image-grid-image/instances/cktx392cz00b83g6iagyju5sy@published"] img { width: 300px; } } 7 p.m.: Order oxtail at Roots 21 The owner of Geejam recommended Roots 21 Bar & Kitchen for dinner, so that evening we called a cab and went there.
