The staff’s warm welcome was a perfect way to begin a wonderful second getaway. For a few wonderful days, my husband passport and I indulged ourselves in all the delights this spotless Jamaican "all-inclusive" offered. For starters, the resort has one of the island’s best beaches, a glorious three-mile stretch of white sand. A day didn’t go by without at least a couple of hours there. We didn’t stay all day only because the crystal-clear Caribbean was far too tempting to resist. My particular passion, water-skiing, was tailor-made for Couples. The rest cheap was up to the Caribbean and us. Needless to say, we had a fabulous time. Away from the water, we enjoyed socializing with the other, mostly friendly vacationers. Typically, there’s a pleasant mix of people at Couples, from retired snowbirds to honeymooners. And this trip was second no exception. We made plenty of new acquaintances, especially while we were dining.

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 dressing areas and light, airy French windows, are spread out through the former plantation house and bougainvillea-draped small cottages. passport 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 cheap 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.
