Sandals Holidays in Jamaica

Sandals Promo video

At the risk of repeating myself I feel I must point out to you dear Blog reader that Jamaican Treasures is a Sandals Certified Specialist Company that has the blessing from Sandals to advertise and promote all of the Sandals Holidays, sandals Villas, Sandals Weddings and Honeymoons and of course Sandals all inclusive holidays in Jamaica and other parts of the world.

What does that actually mean a ‘Sandals Certified Specialist Company’?’ It means that Jamaican Treasures have satisfied Sandals, one of the biggest names in vacations and weddings abroad that they have the expertise and the will to provide services to Sandals clients and in doing so, will preserve the good name of Sandals. In other words, it’s like getting the British Standard Kite mark for providing Sandals services in the Caribbean.

In other words, Sandals trust Jamaican Treasures to provide you with the best quality of service and at a great price. You don’t get a better recommendation than that, do you?  Jamaican Treasures staff has also received special training from Sandals in the presentation and quality of the services we provide. Quality of service and great deals are guaranteed.

Jamaica Villas - Red and Yellow and Pink and Blue...

At the end of the rainbow is buried a...

I’ve been moaning about the bloody cold weather for the past month or so here in Andalucía and so I thought I might give it a rest being as the pipes are not frozen solid this morning and taking a wee holds no danger of frostbite (I was going to say ‘exposure’ but you might accuse me of punning!)



From my office...



It was with some pleasure that I saw that it had snowed on the highest mountains around and about where I live and the clouds looked fairly heavy and grey, rain clouds perhaps? Snow? Any would have been preferable to the biting winds and freezing temperatures of the last month.

I was writing on this Blog about Villa Drambuie in Montego bay and the photographs of the swimming pool, the drinks, the beach and the lovely Caribbean Sea had me daydreaming and wishing I was in Mobay, ankle deep in the clear Caribbean waters (No deeper for me, I suffer from Selachophobia, that’s a fear of Sharks, any Sharks but especially the ones with bloody great teeth!) when my wife told me that there was a beautiful rainbow across from our house.

The photograph cannot truly represent the beauty of the rainbow as I used a quick photo shoot setting but you do get the idea. My wife suggested that we go and look and see if there was a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow (she is 51 but believes in Fairies, Goblins and Witches, I could explain but it would take too long) That is what I have always loved about her, the eternal optimist, myself on the other hand, I don’t think for one moment that some Spanish Troll, Goblin or Leprechaun has buried a pot of gold at the end of that particular rainbow because it is resting on my friend Bill’s Villa, if they’ve buried anything there, he’s had it and spent it by now!

Crock of gold my butt! Crack of….

Jamaica Villas - Getting Married in Jamaica?



"Oh! what a big leaf you have there Mr Blogspot!"

Blimey! Now I know what they mean by a ‘blushing bride’ nine couples took to the beach resort at Negril, which, in case you don’t know is on the north coast of the Paradise island of Jamaica and about 1 hour from Montego Bay. They did take to the beach but they never took any clothes with them though, oh no! They were naked as the day they were born with the exception of the odd leaf or flower here and there.

The Hedonism 11 Resort invited 10 couples for an all expenses paid wedding ceremony, unfortunately, one of the couples bottled it and so they were left with nine naked couples, all participants in a documentary, all selected from a list of 100 applicants who were asked dodgy questions such as “why do you want to start their life together stark naked?” “It saves a mint in wedding dresses and suits” would have been my answer.

Well I for one wish them all the very best, take a look yourself at the article (OK, it’s a promo for another company in Jamaica but at Jamaican Treasures we like to spread the word about for our friends, even those who encourage young ladies to cavort about naked…Aaaaagggh!)

Jamaica Villas -Sea Island, Montego Bay

Jamaica Villa Sea Island, Montego Bay

It’s not Christmas but it may as well be Christmas the way Jamaican Treasures are giving away FREE accommodation in luxury Jamaica Villas. Yes, that is correct FREE accommodation in luxury Jamaica Villas. There is a saying that there is no such thing as a free dinner but in this particular case, you get free dinner with a starter and desert.

Villa Sea Island at Montego Bay is offering 7 nights’ accommodation for the price of 5 nights, you stay for 7 nights, pay for five nights and so that gives you 2 FREE nights. I’m not Albert Einstein or Carol Vorderman but I do know that 7 minus 2 is er…er…5 (Phew!)

Don’t think for one moment either that you will receive less in terms of service and quality, you won’t, all Jamaican Treasures villas offer the highest standard of service no matter what the price may be or if a property is on special offer, if we were giving Jamaica Villas away for free (which we are, almost) we would still ensure top quality.

So, without anymore waffle, take yourself over to the Jamaican Treasures main website and see what a great place Villa Sea Island is and you may also want to have a look at the other great Hot Villa Deals available, and remember, just because it’s a lower price does not mean you get less service.

Jamaica Villas - How things have changed

Could this be you?

This really is true...isn't it?





I guess this is the future.



I have a friend in the United States who sends my emails containing the silliest things, some are a bit political, some are quite rude and other is rip-roaring funny. Hers a couple she sent relating to the modern world and how technology has changed our lives forever, for better or for worse. If you have any, I’d love to see them.

Jamaica Villas - End of the Cold weather

Sierra Gibalto at the back of my house

Thank goodness this lousy cold weather has decided to bugger off and bother someone else; it has been perishing cold for what seems to have been a lifetime. Europe has been gripped with the mother of all winter freezes, in some countries causing over 200 deaths when tempters have slid to -30ºC and less, I believe the Ukraine was worst hit.

My house had days where we had no water because the pipes had frozen solid, we got as low as -8ºC on many nights but what made it worse was the biting winds and clear sunny skies, just to take the pee! No matter, last night there was no freeze and today the skies are blue and clear, so much so that I went for a pleasant stroll with Pablito my dog to the Olive groves near to our house. As you can see from the photo, spring is almost on us and hopefully this winter will be just a bitter cold memory.

Jamaica Villas - Cool for Cats?

Very cold and it's clear to see

As far as good days go, Monday 13th of February was not really one of the best, well, not for my cats it wasn’t. No, Monday was the day that I took my cats Alfie, Pinky and Squeaky to the vet to be Spayed and Neutered, so, as you can imagine it was a bit of a “bad day at the orifice”

The vet was some 60 miles away and so being carted off to be deflowered and locked in a cage to get there really did nothing to improve matters but it had to be done. Living in the wilds of Andalucía, Spain, a feral female cat can produce hundreds of offspring in her lifetime and the road kill toll mounts. For the un-neutered male cat it can be a short and pleasant life as they wander around looking for lady cats to get it on with, they often get run over, shot, poisoned or attacked by farmers dogs of which there are plenty.

So, to the vets it was and the deed was done. On arrival back at the ranch two of the cats were up and about with no obvious signs of distress, poor Squeaky though, she was groggy and remained in the cat box for several more hours. I must say, the change in the male cat, Alfie, was amazing, he had gone from a shy, skittish cat to an almost hip, laid back cool moggie. I fed them, fed myself and then it was off to bed as it was getting late.

Next morning, all the cats looked OK, they were a bit ginger in their movements (The cat was a bit Ginger????) but they were fine, but for one exception; they were very thirsty and were moaning for water. This surprised me as we have a large bowl of fresh water for the pets under the verandah that they can get to at any time, the trouble was though, the bloody water bowl had frozen solid during the night. The horrible freezing cold weather that has blighted Europe for the last 2 or three weeks had kicked in again and frozen the poor cats water solid.

Oh my poor moggies!

Jamaica Villas - With a little help from my friend

Watcha sayin der bro?

Sometimes, just sometimes there comes along a comic genius and they don’t have to be famous or even well known, they just have to touch on something so funny that you just have to pass it on. Well, here it is.

If anyone has ever heard Jimi Hendrix sing Purple Haze then they will have become a member of the ‘misheard Lyrics’ club, you know, those of us who cannot make head nor tale of certain songs. Jimi is famous for singing ‘Scuse me while I kiss this Guy’ when in reality he actually said “Scuse me while I kiss the Sky”

As a teenager I had my own disco and I loved Trojan label Reggae, we just called it ‘Trojan’ as if it was a different genre of Reggae and one artist that stood out was Desmond Dekker and his big UK hit “The Israelites” I could not understand a bloody word at first. I thought it went like this;

“Wake up in the morning sleep four at breakfast, So that every mouse can beef head”
It was of course;
“Wake up every morning slaving for breakfast so that every mouth can be fed”

Jumping Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones is probably the worst of the lot, what the hell Mick was smoking when he made that, I don’t know?

No matter, watch this brilliant video of Joe Cocker doing that Beatles Classic “A little help from my friends” at Woodstock in the 60’s and look at the interpretation in graphics of the lyrics. This really is funny. Enjoy!
