Cheers to Friday from Hotel 39 in Montego Bay!

by with No Comment Brand JamaicaWhat's Hot

The Building we knew as The Wexford Hotel on Gloucester Avenue in Montego Bay, has been fully refurbished and rebranded to Hotel 39!

The boutique Hotel 39 (Ig: @hotel39jamaica) has adequate parking, 82 rooms with its rooftop pool and nearby access to the beach, being located on Montego Bay’s famous Hip Strip.

Their Restaurant is already #SugaEndorsed after our visit two weeks ago, well taken care of by our Waitress, Caleisha. Seeing a professional, young lady so polite, attentive and genuinely happy doing her job in the hospitality and service industry was absolutely refreshing. After a long day, we truly appreciated her stellar service and kudos to the Chef for making my Pasta healthy, yet delicious, tossed in a light sauce just the way I like it.

Cocktail options seemed limited at the Bar, but the Bartender did no wrong with my Whiskey Sour.

We’re happy to have Hotel 39 back and we look forward to revisiting soon!

XoXo, Suga

#wcw with Queen Amina Blackwood Meeks & Her New, yet Vintage Rendition of Miss Lou!

by Brand JamaicaWhat's Hot
Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with Amina Blackwood Weeks who performed her new, ‘Miss Lou 2024’ at The Poetry Society of Jamaica’s Monthly Fellowship last night, September 24, 2024 at Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts.

So honoured to have heard it first at The Poetry Society of Jamaica’s monthly poetry fellowship last night at the Amphitheatre of Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts.

Amina Blackwood Meeks’ MISS LOU 2024 took us way back, with views and perspectives of Miss Lou from members of our society and her own family, both positive and negative. I thoroughly enjoyed the intermittent rhythmic flow, reminiscent of a true warrior.

Amina incorporated classic lines and references from Miss Lou herself and ultimately, a call to respect and embrace our talents, our culture.

We must appreciate the value of our own and pay what is due. A direct, yet indirect call for Poetic Justice, while tributing our Best Poet and Folklorist, Miss Louise Bennett, familiarly known to us as, Miss Lou. Miss Lou contributed significantly to our Jamaican theatre, culture, particularly to our language and the literary arts for over 50 years.

For what we were blessed to experience for Free, I hope others pay every dollar.

Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with her AnnieB at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston, Jamaica [Date of Visit: Saturday, September 7, 2024]

It’s always great breathing in the fresh air in the Blue. Adding farm to table, freshly made food is Brawta!

Known for their Barrel Roasted Chicken, I switched things up, starting with their tasty Tomato Bruschetta (on bammy!) and tried the new lightly Curried pineapple Chicken which was seasoned so well…a fantastic balance, as it wasn’t too spicy. The sweet potato croquettes that accompanied it, were perfection. Loved it! Awesome dish.

Their Saltfish Fritters and Shrimp Pasta with herb Pesto are usually hits too.

***N.B. Not always Paw-friendly… Check in with the Owner first, to make sure the big ones aren’t there 🙂 Reservations recommended; Call +1 (876) 367-8191***

Remember, Balance is Key… Enjoy Jamaica!

Have a Great Weekend!

What are you doing for the last weekend of Summer?

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

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!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_TT0dku5hA/?igsh=MW54Ymdndmk2eDBxMg==

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
