Set between the Jamaican mountains and the Caribbean Sea, the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa is located 15 minutes outside Montego Bay and appeals to families, couples and groups. Overlooking the historic Rose Hall Plantation, the resort features a private beach and one of the largest private waterparks in the Caribbean.

Most rooms have private balconies with views of the landscaped gardens, the mountains, the golf course or the ocean.
Both European plan and all-inclusive packages are available. Dining options include gourmet cuisine prepared by Chef Michael Dannecker at the Three Palms Restaurant and Northern Italian fare served at Luna Di Mare. Fresh offers American-style breakfast and an international menu for dinner overlooking the pool. For light dining and snacks, Mangoes at the water park and the Sea Side Grill are popular choices. Drinks are served at the swim-up bar during the day and at Purple Moon, the hotels nightclub, in the evenings.
The resort is designed to suit both active families and adults seeking relaxation, with two distinct swimming pool areas. The Sugar Mills Falls Water Park has a 280-foot water slide, terraced jungle pools and lagoons, rope swings and rock gardens. A tranquil infinity pool is surrounded by terraces and overlooks the ocean. Lounge chairs and beach umbrellas are provided on the beach, and water sports include kayaking, snorkeling and fishing.
The resort also has six lit tennis courts and the 18-hole, championship level Cinnamon Hill Ocean Golf Course. The Soothe Spa has an extensive menu of signature treatments, and guests can choose treatment rooms set in historic aqueducts or in cabanas on the beach.

Where can I get my coffee beans ground?
May 19th, 2010
I was given a bag of Blue Mountain Jamaican whole coffee beans as a housewarming gift. Unfortunately I don’t own a coffee grinder and am not about to purchase one for this one bag — I typically buy them already ground or grind them in the store grinder before I leave. Will a grocery store let me use their grinder or should I try a coffee shop? Any suggestions?
Clearly you didn’t read the full description — I don’t want to buy one, it’s a silly expense when I don’t need one but for this one time use. Thanks for being useless though!
Do you have a food processor? That would work too. Otherwise ask some of your friends, maybe they have one to borrow.

how can i impress a jamaican woman i like?
May 2nd, 2010
hi i like a jamaican woman and was going to ask her out what i was going to do is cook a traditional meal for her and bring it to her place of work and ask her can i take you out for a coffee sometime. do you think this will be enough to impress her so she will want to go out with me, i’m a few years younger and white if that helps.
Cooking a Jamaican meal for her might not be the best idea. The likelihood that it’ll taste good if you haven’t tried making it before is very slim. Find out what her favorite cuisine is and take it from there. Besides, she’s Jamaican… she’s had plenty of traditional food.
I’m beginning to take an interest in coffe, any tips for the beginning connoisseur?
April 21st, 2010
My roomate bought me some Jamaican Blue Mountain for my birthday and oh my god it was an experience in iteself….from my $12 Mr. Coffee!
I’m going to begin sampling coffee from different regions, I just bought a bag from beans collected in Kenya and it’s great!
So, what do I replace my Mr. Coffee coffee maker with? A french press perhaps?
Any store you recommend I buy my coffee from -that has a large selection. I went to ‘Whole Foods’ and was not impressed with the selection.
Thanks for your input!
Get a French Press – it stays truest to the flavor of the bean. In professional tastings, you taste the beans dry and crunchy and use a French Press. BTW in coffee tastings, like wine tastings – it is optional to swallow. 
It is nice to get maybe half a dozen coffees and try them out. Make it a party.
Buy whole beans and a grinder. That is one big way to get full flavor. Throw the coffee out after an hour. It starts to lose its body and flavor.
Whole Foods will not have the best selection – I would go online. Some big cities have independent coffee roasters (not as much now as in the 90s I might think) but the fresher the roast the better the flavor.
You want to be aware of the grade of beans and what country and plantation the beans come from. For a coffee tasting you want to stick with (if possible!) a single plantation per cup (or at least country), so you can compare and contrast. Central American beans tend to be more acidic and bright, Indonesian beans are earthier and fuller in flavor, etc. How dark coffee is roasted makes a difference in the char factor, but you want to stay with a medium roast for discerning regional flavors.
Ever wanted to annoy someone in the office?
April 16th, 2010
Thanks to new inspiration, this is my new post on annoying people. (Again, sorry it takes a million years to read, trust me, it took a million years to TYPE!!)
By the way, most of my posts are from GetAmused.com
“Hi-lite” your shoes. Tell people that you haven’t lost your shoes since you did this.
Agree to organize the company Christmas party. Hold it at McDonald’s Playland. Charge everyone $15 each.
Ask people what gender they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
Arrive at a meeting late, say you’re sorry, but you didn’t have time for lunch, and you’re going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat entire raw potatoes.
Attach a sign that says "FAX" to the paper shredder. Sit and watch to see how many people fall for it.
Bring in dishes that you tried to cook but didn’t turn out quite right as special treats for your co-workers.
Change the message on the company voice mail system. Get “Creative”.
Compose all your e-mail in rhyming couplets.
DARE: Run three laps around the office at top speed
DARE: Ignore the first three people who say “Good Morning” to you
DARE: Skipping is better than walking
DARE: After every sentence, say “Mon” in a really bad Jamaican accent – “Thank you, Mon”
Decorate your office with pictures of Cindy Brady and Danny Partridge. Try to pass them off as your children.
Determine how many cups of coffee is “too many.”
Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
Email your boss the message: I know what you did last vacation.
Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.
Erect a shrine to your favorite sports team, holding candlelight vigils at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. daily.
Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that.
Every five minutes, announce (very loudly) that you have to go to the bathroom
Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)
For a relaxing break, get away from it all with a mask and snorkel in the fish tank. If no one notices, take out your snorkel and see how many you can catch in your mouth.
Hang mistletoe over your desk.
Insist that your e-mail address be: “zena_goddess_of_fire@companyname.com” (or “thor_god_of_thunder@companyname.com”)
Install a set of buttons and lights in the arm of your chair. Talk into your daytimer.
Make a roof over your cubical out of old soda cans.
Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. “That’s a good point Sparky.” “No I’m sorry I’m going to have to disagree with you there, Chachi.”
Name all your pens and insist that meetings can’t begin until they’re all present.
Come to work in your pajamas.
No matter what anyone asks you, reply “Okay.”
Page your co-workers to call their extensions so they call themselves.
Page yourself over the intercom. (Don’t disguise your voice.)
Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell people you’re waiting for your document.
Put decaf in the coffeemaker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
Put your garbage can on your desk. Label it “IN.”
Schedule meetings for 4:14 pm.
Send e-mail messages saying free pizza, free donuts etc… in the lunchroom, when people complain that there was none… Just lean back, pat your stomach, and say, “Oh you’ve got to be faster than that.”
Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you’re doing. For example "If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the bathroom."
Send email to yourself engaging yourself in an intelligent debate about the direction of one of your company’s products. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement.
Send emails one word (or a few) at a time. end each one with something like, "more to come tuned to your inbox for further developments…"
Suggest that beer be put in the soda machine.
Talk to your mouse as if it is a C.B. radio.
Wait until a co-worker goes on vacation, then relocate everything they have in their office, and move someone else in their place. When they get back act like nothing has changed since they left.
When an a person tells you that they’ll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?"
When in conversation, no matter where you are in the office, mutter, “I think my phone is ringing” and leave. Go get a coffee.
When IT support sends you an e-mail with high importance, delete it at once.
Whenever anyone comes in your cubicle insist they knock or don’t speak with them. When they knock, ignore them.
While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.
While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in “Palmolive”.
Kitty just to let you know your Boss is reading this and is now giving serious consideration to explaining to you the benefit of gainful well paid employment, or, the alternative you may have to face . . . and do stop bobbing your head whilst reading this advice. Now say after me, " Who is a pretty girl then ! "
Anyone tried Gloria Jeans Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee?
April 11th, 2010
I’ve tried Wallenford and it was good. Have to special order it though. There is a Gloria Jeans store in my town but at $50 a pound and no half pound options, it would be great to get feedback before buying. Thanks!
I have tried it. It is absolutely beautiful in taste! It sends your taste buds on an wonderful experience.
Its 20 out of 10. If you like coffee try it
