It promises to free you fromrepparttar 133638 worry of overspending on each and every amenity and meal, while simultaneously spoiling you rotten.

Air Jamaica had just inaugurated it's new non-stop service from Houston to Montego Bay, Jamaica, andrepparttar 133639 price was right - US$100 each (a promotional rate), so my mother and I decided to go all-inclusive. Afterrepparttar 133640 MoBay customs checkrepparttar 133641 two hour plus shuttle bus ride to Grand Lido Negril, found us ragged and weary from bouncing around or throughrepparttar 133642 various potholes inrepparttar 133643 road onrepparttar 133644 western side ofrepparttar 133645 island, sapping precious time from our weekend visit. Mental note: takerepparttar 133646 15-minute flight from Montego Bay.

Immediately, smiling staff faces approached us with hibiscus-garnished drinks at Grand Lido Negril, welcoming us; our burdensome luggage was whisked away, never to be seen again until we in our luxurious junior suite. We knew we were in paradise. Within minutes,repparttar 133647 hotel manager was handing us schedules, directions and our room keys, warmly encouraging us to savor life as a "Super-clubber". We leftrepparttar 133648 beautiful open-air lobby, making our way to our personable junior suite located beachside. Fragrant, exotic flowers lined each walkway; decorative tile linedrepparttar 133649 walls and airy Jamaican artwork hung casually against a white backdrop, proving we were whererepparttar 133650 details were not overlooked.

The Grand Lido Negril Junior Suites are lovely, with a full beach view fromrepparttar 133651 patio ofrepparttar 133652 buccaneer sounding Bloody Bay, a powdery strand carving seven miles towardsrepparttar 133653 other end ofrepparttar 133654 beach torepparttar 133655 sea cliffs. The Grand Lido Negril sits on two acres ofrepparttar 133656 beach, with one of their two beaches au natural. An oversized hibiscus gracesrepparttar 133657 pillows - each afternoon. The soothing, strolling clarinet player serenaded us at dusk each evening. Never once did we tire of his presence beneath our balcony.

The sun always seems to shine atrepparttar 133658 Grand Lido Negril. But I wasn't worried if it didn't, not withrepparttar 133659 unique sunny weather guarantee that would have given me a voucher good for a year to come back for more sol. So rain or shine, hurricanes be damned, time to get bronzed on Bloody Bay Beach.

What does all-inclusive mean inrepparttar 133660 islands: I don't know, but at SuperClubs,repparttar 133661 first all inclusive resort in Jamaica, and possibly anywhere, an all-inclusive means free, well, at least not added torepparttar 133662 tab, it is all part ofrepparttar 133663 deal - don't worry, it is only money.

I was still out to challengerepparttar 133664 SuperClub vacation claim of delivering a 100% all-inclusive package. With flip-flops clapping against my heels, I headed forrepparttar 133665 beach to "testrepparttar 133666 waters" ofrepparttar 133667 copywriters. Mother and I were soon approached by several snorkel diving instructors, anxious to have us join them aboard their close to shore catamaran. We gladly hopped onboard. The sailing excursion lasted two hours, cruising south alongrepparttar 133668 western coast. We snorkeled inrepparttar 133669 pristine waters alongrepparttar 133670 marine park cliffs. We photographedrepparttar 133671 cliff-diving at world famous Rick's Restaurant! Before I could say "Bob Marley" we were back sailing throughrepparttar 133672 graduating turquoise-blue waters. Our delightful crew prattled historical facts and legends aboutrepparttar 133673 different areas we were touring, as most of us kicked back and sipped on anything rum related. We hardly noticed whenrepparttar 133674 vessel docked as we were gently awaken from our reverie withrepparttar 133675 sound of steel drums and guitars - A lovely conclusion to a lovely excursion.
