TGIF! Where are you staying this weekend Suga Bears?!
We had a fantastic stay at The Cliff Hotel by West End, Negril last weekend.
Watch “A Fantastic stay at The Cliff Jamaica by West End, Negril” on YouTube here:Â

Even though it’s not an all inclusive, their current rate is definitely value for money. Seize the opportunity before it goes back up!
The food and presentation from their Zest Restaurant was consistently excellent.
Manager, Vernon was on site everyday, quite hospitable and accommodating along with his staff.
The property was clean. Views were breathtaking. Parking was adequate, which is hard to find in Negril. Wifi was decent. The room was huge and the Smart Tv was great. Just 1 complaint…only water came in the fridge. We would appreciate 2 Red Stripes next time 😎ðŸ»
The Cliff Hotel and its Zest Restaurant are #SugaEndorsed.

Miss Lily’s at Skylark Negril Beach Resort on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach!
The music, food and vibes are right everytime. The only good system is a sound system.
I enjoyed their succulent, flavourful Jerk BBQ Pork Spare Ribs with roasted plantains. Finger-licking good.
Hubby, Randy enjoyed the Miss Lily’s mouth-watering Cheeseburger that was sandwiched in cocoa bread.
Vegetarian menu and fresh Juices available too. IÂ had the refreshing Skylark Greens.
Great, speedy and pleasant service. #SugaEndorsed
For my Suga Bears overseas, be sure to check out Miss Lily’s in Soho or East Village NY & Dubai!

The award-winning Caribbean’s Leading Boutique Hotel for many years, as well as Jamaica’s Leading Spa Resort for ’14, ’15 is usually booked out for Weddings whenever we are in Negril.
So with much anticipation and quite a reputation, we finally dined at one of the most scenic Restaurants cliffside.
The staff there, led by Gossett definitely got that old school welcoming, Jamaican hospitality that we love. Kudos to them. Their energy working amongst each other was cordial as well.
Seating was close, but I was still able to make myself comfortable.
My Coconut Shrimp starter was delish. We enjoyed the other dishes, Crab Quesadilla, Seafood Linguini with Shrimp and Snapper and the Surf & Surf with seared Snapper and Garlic Shrimp.
They were tasty dishes, but left a little more to be desired. I also only had two bites of the Chocolate Cake. Perhaps expectations were too high or maybe they fell off their game a bit, because other spots are quite impressive! Stay tuned for more this week.
XoXo, Suga💖

Sometimes it takes a few months before you get the urge to take the 4-hour drive to Negril, but when you do, it’s so worth it!
First stop, Pelican Lookout restaurant and bar by West End, Negril.
It was overcast upon arrival, but then the sun came out and you know Negril heat hits differently, so go in the evening or night when the vibes and temperature are right.
Very attentive staff, big up Rohan and most of all, the Chef! Food ‘propa’.
A variety of Octopus dishes were on the menu, but looks like we just missed the season. We have to return to try those!
There were still great options for Seafood, Pastas, Burgers and Beverages. We opted for traditional Jamaican Conch Fritters, Oxtail and Curried Goat. They all hit the spot. Di Oxtail tender tender and slide off the bone. Well seasoned and wicked flavours.
Eye-catching rustic, artistic décor & view, rhythmic music, timely food and I can see the place lights up at night.
Pelican Lookout is #SugaEndorsed. Visit them when next on the West End.

Suga’s Breakdown:
Last Saturday, with no weddings, someone to watch the kids and complete or postponed errands, us girls finally made time for Lunch, Vino & Cocktails! Can you relate? If not, it’s totally worth it.
Balance is key Suga Bears and thankfully, the recently Award-Winning Game Changer Restaurant Broken Plate
did not disappoint.
They don’t facilitate reservations, but it’s somewhat understandable in these times when a party may not show up and not give notice. We were seated quickly enough and our waitress was polite and attentive.
Loved the modern, simple yet tasteful decor.
The Restaurant was full to capacity, but comfortable and they still managed to send out our Appetizers, Beverages and Mains in good time.
We enjoyed Calamari, Duck Breast Bruschetta, the Smoked Marlin Salad, Grilled Salmon and BBQ Spare Ribs. The girls took their Dessert to-go.
I asked for my Bruschetta to be lightly toasted and it was honoured, arriving with tasty, tender Duck Breast. I also switched out the creamy sauce for my Salmon with grilled pineapple & corn salsa. You can enjoy healthier choices when you’re out too!
A Restaurant for the young, old & in-between. It took me a while to visit, but I definitely prefer the changes made and this new location. Broken Plate is now #SugaEndorsed

It’s been weeks since I’ve been to Uncorked’s Sovereign North location, but I always expect delectable dishes paired with premium wines. I wasn’t disappointed.
I was eating healthy, versus hubby’s Gourmet Burger (all of them are good), until I had a craving for Cheese.
Our courteous & attentive server, Norjah recommended the Black Bomber Cheese and it was really da Bomb! We had Goat cheese with truffles too. Delish!
I paired with an old fave, Miol Prosecco.
Check out Uncorked’s amazing Mastercard specials here, including the Charcuterie Board and one of my faves, their Seared Tuna!
Also, when in doubt, you can never go wrong with the Baked Brie, Judy Salad and The Karla 😉 #SugaEndorsed

It’s been almost a year since Suga has visited PG’s, but a trip there is overdue.
Chef Pierluigi Ricci’s hospitality and polite, professional staff is bar none. Their wine selection is top-notch to accompany the variety of delectable, authentic Italian dishes available.
Remember that PG’s used to be Toscanini at Harmony Hall. But now, it is a bit of a hidden gem along Tower Isle. If you drive slowly enough, you’ll be sure to see it or just give them a call! With Covid restrictions, opening hours frequently change, so reservations are recommended.
PG’s may not be as active or picturesque on social media, but please remember to support our best Restaurants so that we can move forward with them during and after Covid.

Thank you District 5 Sky Lounge for some much needed fresh air, wine, rum, tasty, sizeable portions of food and of course an atmosphere full of vibes.
While most Restaurants, Bars & Lounges were quiet last Saturday, before three days of No Movement in Ja, the Best Sunday Spot became the Best Saturday Spot.
My crew of ladies gathered around a table at about 1:30pm and as the day progressed, the music got a little louder, had more buzz and all the diners at their designated and adequately distanced tables caught a vibe.
District 5 Sky Lounge is currently a hot spot for celebrations and we saw Birthdays and lastly, we thoroughly enjoyed witnessing a celebration of love, a Proposal!
With screams from the Feyoncé to be’s girlfriends, all eyes turned to the prepared stage for the special occasion and to see her say YES. Congrats to the lucky couple and Suga is looking forward to when cases are lowered and the Best Sunday Spot can resume Brunch! Cheers🥂

Suga thoroughly enjoyed the endless variety of Cuisines, Restaurant and Bar options available at Excellence Oyster Bay with Excellent Service to go with it.
Great for Coping with Covid and I’ll say it again, the Best and most affordable Adult Only All-Inclusive in Jamaica right now.
Watch “Culinary Excellence at Excellence Oyster Bay in Trelawny, Jamaica!” on YouTube here:
https://youtube.com/shorts/1ixg2UTnutY?feature=share
Excellence Oyster Bay has two Club members only Restaurants, Magna & Zenith, that offer the finest of dining and selections for Breakfast and Dinner.
Check out that Marinated Red Tuna Steak (medium) in the opening of the video! Perfection. Their Coconut Cheesecake was an understandable fave too.
Suga enjoyed Breakfast at Magna with a spectacular view, gourmet cheeses and breads that rolled up on a cart along with the richest Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
No worries if not a Club Member, I can personally vouch for the Lobster House, Oregano (Italian), Spice (Pan-Asian), Aroma (Café), and Martini Bar taking care of all your cravings and culinary needs.
I didn’t even get the chance to touch the Buffet! By the looks of it when passing by, it looked impressive as well.
Most Restaurants offered Breakfast and Lunch and their were countless Dinner options that I have to return to try, such as the Chez Isabelle (French), The Grill (Steakhouse) and Caribbean Grove.
Don’t even get me talking about their Spa! Hydrotherapy and more. Other than a hiccup at Check-In, which they made up for… Excellence! Can’t wait to return. 👌🾠#SugaEndorsed
