What are you doing for the last weekend of Summer?

At the end of June just before Hurricane Beryl hit, we enjoyed an R&R weekend at Rafjam West (Ig: @rafjamwest) in Whitehouse, Westmoreland, quite close to Ivy’s Cove.

Watch highlights from our weekend here!

Though the house has about 3 or 4 rooms, we had the place to ourselves that weekend with a pool, bar and a private beach. The place was brand new, with tasteful, modern furnishings and all the amenities needed. Thankfully, it was not affected by the hurricane. Unfortunately, just a few trees came down.

Our meals were cooked to order. We enjoyed our Jamaican breakfast, Curried Chicken and Steamed Fish for lunch. Less options available, but the same high standard as that of Raf Jam in Irish Town, Kingston. Delicious.

We didn’t get a chance to visit the bar across the water that looked like a decent lyme, but next time. 

We visited Luna Sea Inn (also ok after the Hurricane) for dinner by the sea one night, which had great service. Our Steaks were delectable and the bartender was awesome.

We stopped by Cloggy’s on the Beach (Current operations unknown), on our way back and had tasty Curried Shrimp and Conch. A bit of a wait, but we weren’t in a rush. We chatted and enjoyed the the seaside view from our table, not venturing off near the water where there may be gators!

We enjoyed a quiet, scenic getaway weekend and happily recommend Rafjam West to your family and friends.

XoXo, Suga

Happy Monday! Where are you having your Coffee Today?


It’s been a busy year, but Suga still makes her foodie rounds, especially to a few new spots!

Ahmeraki Cafe (Ig: @ahmerakicafe) opened earlier this summer. We visited mid July and need to go back!

Comfy, cosy cafe with artwork in arched walls, serving local JABLUM Coffee!

Courteous and attentive staff with tasty food for a quick, simple breakfast or lunch. I enjoyed my Salmon bagel and appreciated that though simple, they took pride in its presentation.

Overdue to revisit this one, by Constant Spring Golf Club.

Have a great start to your week Suga Fam!

Likkle AnnieB did Fraid a being suh Close to di Road
…and the friendly, big Dogs welcoming her to their Abode
I missed capturing the Goats Crossing
They disappeared so quickly, Curry in di Pot was Calling.

Mussu’s Restaurant, Holland Bamboo and Dear St. Elizabeth,
We wish we could offer more than our well wishes and prayers at this time, but we will check and listen out to see if there is ANY way we can help them to rebuild.

Persons have already messaged us, that just simply helping to replant the Bamboo would be appreciated. Pictured, it takes about 5 years for Bamboo to reach that height and maturity.

The people of St. Elizabeth will be out of electricity for weeks, maybe months. Some of their medication needs to be refrigerated. Generators are needed and much more.

American Friends of Jamaica is collecting Donations for the Southern Coast of Jamaica affected by Hurricane Beryl:
