Dinner was spectacular from the start with their Seafood Salad, Assorted Meze including Octopus, Prawns and more, Ceviche, the mains with Surf & Turf, Lamb, Swordfish Steak, Pastas and more, topped off with Baklava and Ice Cream for the finale. My family cleaned up!
The Neptune’s at Beaches Resorts always delivers! Especially when they used to have booths at various festivals and events.
They maintained great service when the hotel was fully booked and understaffed. Bravo. #SugaSnaps & #SugaEndorsed.

Although it’s known that Miami has some of the best restaurants in South Florida, foodie & Suga Taster, Jehan was pleasantly surprised by her experience at Rusty Pelican from arrival to departure.
Suga Taster, Jehan’s Breakdown:
“The hostess was quick to check the reservation and seat the 5 of us as we arrived. Shortly after, our server Mike T. came over, introduced himself, provided our menus and took drink orders.
Rusty Pelican’s Old FashionedPassion of the SoulBlurred Lines
Mike T. was quite attentive as the evening progressed and even ensured to note any food-based allergies.
The Appetizers and Main courses did not disappoint!

They lacked dessert options though and the two ordered did not hit the sweet spot. The Sticky Toffee Pudding is a warmed Date Cake served with brown butter pecans and caramel ice cream. The warm Cafe con leche consisted of white chocolate, cuban coffee, and cookies & cream ice cream.

Looks and Sounds great eh? Sadly, the date cake was dry and dense and the Cafe con leche left a lot to be desired.
Despite the disappointing Dessert, the experience, Mains and cocktails were still great and I will definitely be back” ~Suga Taster, Jehan Knight.

I happily sported my Svetlana Miakalani Swim (Instagram: @miakalaniswim) Monokini 2 weeks ago, but that was from the old line.
Miakalani Swim, handmade in Jamaica, recently launched their New New Swimwear line that is a must to check out.
It’s just in time to wear for the long Emancipation and Independence weekends. Yes we get 2! So you can never have enough swimsuits. We’re all Beach Babes. Feel comfortable in your skin and Miakalani Swim. Let’s move forward from Covid and have a #shotgirlsummer💉
Book your stay to enjoy Sun, Sand and some Vitamin Sea at one of our many Villas that are hidden gems or an Adult Only All-Inclusive Resort that’s not booked to full capacity. Sorry, but our All-Inclusives for Kids are fully booked, understaffed and NOT #SugaEndorsed at the moment.
Stay safe Suga Bears and remember to Shop Local! ðŸ¹ðŸðŸ‘™

Remember for your own good health and peace of mind, balance is key.
Suga is happy to report that the majority, if not all of our Family All-Inclusive Resorts are fully booked for the summer.
As they get back on their feet and are understaffed, we need to exercise patience, enjoy our families’ company and our beautiful island.
Let’s leave the summer to our visitors as we have a far way to go with vaccination and Covid variants are present.
Sadly, Masks are no longer fully enforced at the Buffets of some of our Resorts, though the staff still serve you.

TGIF and #fbf to #Sugataster Randy and I indulging in the unique variety of Sal’s Sweets delights.
From practicing Financial Services in Estonia and Florida to settling back home in Jamaica and practicing her passion, Sal Mahtani brings out the flavours she has grown up with that complement each other so well. She is of Indian heritage and has family in the Phillipines, where she has visited as well as countries in Europe. Being well travelled, she has demonstrated a knack for playing with different flavours, for anything but an average result.
This home-taught Baker started out baking Lemon Rosemary Scones for herself and friends while living in Florida. Go figure!
In a currently saturated field of Bakers especially during the pandemic, Sal does not do the classic Cookies, Cupcakes, Banana Bread or Cinnamon Rolls. It’s innate for her to do spin offs.
Russian Tea CookiesPeanut Butter BlossomsPumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip CookiesBaklava with a twist!Baklava with a twist! (Shortbread crust, layered with nuts, baked with filo dough on top and drizzled with pumpkin spice syrup!)Carrot Cake with a twist! Carrot Cake loaf topped off with with roasted walnuts, cranberries and spiced cream cheese frosting!
Looking forward to Sal’s Sweets’ Summer spin offs! A little birdie told me I can look out for Lychee Lavendar, Chai and Lemon Basil flavours with Popsicles in the mix!

Happy July 1 Jamaica! Please use your Curfew responsibly.
2nd dose vaccine blitz this weekend! Remember it typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection against Covid-19.
We have an upcoming school term in Jamaica where we hope the kids can get back on track with face to face school and not to mention, two long upcoming weekends, Emacipation AND Independence.
Let’s have a #shotboysummer and #shotgirlsummer💉 responsibly. Continue to wear your masks, try not to talk close up to persons’ face when drinking and spray spray spray! Keep up proper sanitization practices.
XoXo, Suga 💖
