Dunn'a River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica


 Dunn's River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

I thought I would give you a treat and bung some videos onto the Blog and so I have scoured Youtube for some decent videos of Jamaica and I came across this video for Dunn's River falls at Ochos Rios (Eight Rivers)

There isn't eight rivers at Ochos Rios, the name is a misnomer, a misinterpretation of the Spanish word "The Waterfalls" Las Chorreros by the British. This was the setting for a rather dodgey Tom Cruise film called "Cocktail" I don't know what was worse, Tom's acting as a cocktail barman cum Romeo/Gigalo or the florid shirts the director made him wear for the film.

Buy hey! here's people enjoying themselves in Jamaica, that's great to see. We also have a great villa here that I would like you to see.

Villa Lido - Ochos Rios, Jamaica

Villa Lido, Discovery Bay, Jamaica

Carrying on from where I left off with villa Whispering Waters and Keela Wee, another fantastic villa in this range of luxury Jamaica villas is the beautiful Villa Lido at Ochos Rios, Jamaica.
As you would know if you are native to Jamaica or a reader of this Blog, Ochos Rios is close to the Dunn's River falls and that there aren't "Ochos Rios" or Eight Rivers, it is a misnomer of the original Spanish name "Las Chorreras". Never mind, we all make mistakes.

Villa Lido is a great Jamaica villa that was refurbished in 2002, boating 5 luxury bedrooms with 5 en-suite bathrooms and beautifully decorated. Villa Lido is also beachfront, with it's own pool, tennis court and a staff of cook, housekeeper, gardener, butler and a luandress.

A really fantastic property for a great Jamaica vacation. Please visit the main website for Villa Lido at Ochos Rios and see what you could be staying in on your next vacation in the Caribbean. Villa Lido Link.

Villa Whispering Waters - Discovery Bay, Jamaica

"WHISPERING WATERS!" I can't hear a thing!

I don't suppose you will want an explanation for the name of this delux holiday villa situated at Discovery Bay. The villa has a wonderfully romantic name of "Whispering Waters" and is the sister villa to Keela Wee (Who's name is also romantic but you did needed an explanation to!).

Villa Whispering Waters, like Keela Wee is at Discovery Bay, between Rio Bueno and Ochos Rios. Whispering Waters was built in 2006 and has 7 bedrooms with 7 en-suite bathrooms, private beach, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, poolside BBQ, loungers, chairs and a staff of cook, housekeeper, butler, gardener and laundress, after all, we don't want you overdoing it now, do we? Your on vacation and when you get inside Whispering Waters you will realise that. It is beautiful.

The website for villas Whispering Waters has been updated with lots of links on the sites main page to all the photos, virtual tour and slideshow, this will save you having to go through the sites individual pages (Blimey, the site is already simple to use but here in Blogland, we like to make it soooo easy!)

In our finest tradition, we advise you to do yourself a great favour and visit this handsome villas website and see what you could be staying in on your next Jamaica Vacation. Whispering Waters link

If, like so many other happy campers, you have stayed at Whispering Waters, I would love to see some happy snaps of your visit and maybe a comment or two? Pleeeease! :-)

Villa Keela Wee - Discovery Bay, Jamaica

"Yer don't know what "Wee" means then?"

I mentioned in my last posting that during the course of writing or producing Blogs for Jamaican Treasures (The best holiday villas rentals company in the world) that I sometimes find items af interest that one would not normally come across in the course of ones working day.

Keela Wee! What is a "Keela Wee" I hear you ask (or at least I imagine I hear you ask. I imagine hearing lots of things these days!) And I did ask, I asked Google and top of Google for "What does Keela Wee mean" was a link to a Jamaican Blog where some madman tells me that the word "Keela" in word from the Elvin language (what an Elf would talk to another Elf in) and that it means "Beauty that only poetry can capture" but he never had a clue what the "Wee" bit meant.
Some bloody expert you are matey, I thought, then I realised it was me, and the blog was this blog and I was telling you some time ago about Villa Keela Wee.

Honest, I'm not making this stuff up, heres the original link Define Keela Wee

Anyway, the reason I'm telling you again about villa Keela Wee is that I have updated this website for the villa with a little bit more information and links to the different part of the Keela Wee website to make it easier for people to get around and see what there is at Keela Wee without leaving the front page. I know, just call me Mr Helpful.

Being serious for a moment though, this is one of the top luxury villas in the Caribbean, not just Jamaica. You could sit with your feet in the Caribbean after a nice game of tennis and it has a swimming pool, wet bar (that's one of them bars you swim up to if you too lazy to get out of the water) a poolside BBQ and a full compliment of staff to do everything for you.

Take a look and let me know what you think of Villa Keela Wee.
