And the day never stopped until the last person called it a night. One day, for instance, we went with a small group to snorkel at a nearby reef filled with beautiful coral formations and fish. On another day, we caught very entertaining circus acts (the trapeze artist was especially good). And it was easy to linger on the resort’s beautiful, white sand beaches, in or out of our clothes. We enjoyed dining buffet-style in front of a big bonfire at the beach. Some of the themed events, like a hilarious toga party, were great fun. And we loved the disco, with its peek-a-boo slide snaking through the dance floor.. My husband and I stopped doing camping vacations shortly after the birth of our son. However, in the intervening years between then and now, we’ve never lost our taste for wilderness adventure.

Daily life is serene, sophisticated and decidedly uncomplicated. In short, Mustique appeals to upscale travelers who like their adventures in paradise on the quiet and refined side. The six-square-mile island features one superb, understated resort, the Cotton House. This exquisitely designed estate offers superior luxury with Old Caribbean style and manners. Spacious rooms, featuring passport dressing areas and light, airy French windows, are spread out through the former plantation house and bougainvillea-draped small cottages. The main house’s wooden verandah serves as a wonderful tea terrace, lounge, restaurant and island social center. On the other hand, if villa vacations are your cup of tea, a number of Mustique’s marvelous private homes are available for short-term rental. Call for competitive, money-saving rates. These are words travelers are thrilled to hear. And it was that greeting which kicked off our recent return to one of Jamaica’s finest beach resorts, Couples Negril.
