Randy - is there a minimum stay requirement to take advantage of the $300 credit?

Also - for anyone of thinking of doing excursions outside of Couples - go for it!! We did the Jamaican bobsled and the ATV offroad trip to Dunns River and then another one to 9 Mile. Both great trips and we look forward to doing them again since the ATV jeep ride was in a monsoon downpour, which was still a lot of fun!!! The great thing about the offroad trip - you get to see more of the area around Ochi - the people and views are just absolutely beautiful!!!

Can you please describe more about the Fire Fly excursion?
Thanks!

sshik -

About 20miles (32km) east of Ocho Rios in Port Maria firefly was once Sir Noel Coward’s vacation home and is now maintained by the Jamaican Heritage Trust. Although the setting is Eden-like, the house is surprisingly Spartan, considering that he often entertained jet-setters and royalty.

Noel Coward’s mountaintop Jamaican home and burial site is an American-free zone. The tropical sanctuary high above the brassy resorts and impoverished towns of Jamaica, links the Caribbean island’s present with its glamorous past.

He wrote High Spirits, Quadrille, and other plays here, and his simple grave is on the ground next to a small stage where his works are occasionally performed. Tours include time in the photo gallery and a walk through the house and grounds, viewing of a video on Coward. Faded photos on the walls tell the story: Noel Coward with the Queen Mother; Sean Connery, Errol Flynn; Joan Sutherland. To end your tour you can enjoy a drink in the gift shop.

thank you so much for that description - I think I would value the sunshine and the sand at the resort rather than Sir Noel Coward's house - maybe it was fun back then - but it seems too tame for me today!
