Happy Independence Day Jamaica, with Love from Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast!

Suga at Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast, Hopewell Road, Red Light District in Irish Town, Kingston, Jamaica on June 10, 2023

For my Birthday Weekend on June 10 this year, we took the perfect escape to the Blue Mountains in Irish Town, Jamaica.

A dog-friendly escape with wifi, but no Tv or Radio, nestled up in Red Light District on Hopewell Road. It’s one of my favourite Jamaican gems, Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast (Ig: @rafjambnb).

Watch “Happy Independence Day Jamaica!  [Song: Best in the World – Slashe | Jamaica Festival Song 2023] “on YouTube here:

Be greeted with the sweet, local hospitality of Suzi and her staff, then the calming sounds of the waterfalls and birds chirping with other sweet sounds of nature, surrounded by fresh air.

We had a cosy cabin for our stay and freshly made food for Breakfast and Lunch, as we ventured off for Dinner.
You’ll never see Fritters so Big! Delicious Jamaican style food that you can have by the riverside or their newly built deck.
You can count on a new development everytime you visit.

Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place for a short, getaway stay or adventure and even group retreats. They now offer all inclusive packages.

Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast continues to be #SugaEndorsed and I can’t wait to return.

XoXo, Suga

S U G A  L  TIPS from Suga Lifestyle,
Past Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards Judge
Past People’s Choice Jamaica Gleaner Restaurant Week Ambassador

S mile and greet us with your NAME professionally, but courteously.
Make us feel welcomed.

U usher us to our seats and take us through the Menu they are well versed on and ensure we get some water. Update us on specials. Make recommendations.

G Ive us some time, but not too much time to peruse the Menu.

A ttend to us throughout our stay. Update us on service time, ask for feedback.
Show us you care.
Tell us your name again and express that you hope to see us again.
Gives us a feel of accountability and reason to return

L ook Professional. Look the part and play the part. If you have our reservation, or we come more than once, call us by our name.

STAFF RETENTION

1. Monetary Staff compensation

  1. On the spot scenarios when hiring.
    Train staff and include scenarios. Ensure you are trained first.

COMMUNICATE with staff often, keeping all updated, equipping them with info and authority to say yes more to certain scenarios, show initiative, letting us know that you are willing to go the extra mile. Be present or available if they are not sure and need to check with you.

RESPECTFUL TREATMENT is important, especially to RUDE CUSTOMERS
We are NOT always right. We believe we are though, so staff can still try to respect our position and do their best to cater to our wishes.

Exceed our expectations. We will remember it.
Provide something extra for free that the customer wasn’t expecting.

Remember, we have a choice.
It starts with YOU.
