New Benefit for Members - Jakes Jamaica!

October 16th, 2007 Wade

Ahhhhh Jakes!

I’m happy to announce a new benefit for Outdoorzy members. Jakes Jamaica is offering us a deal if you book 4 nights you can get the 5th night free!

If you’re not familiar with Jakes, let me explain my excitement. Jakes is a bohemian, artsy, funky, laid-back, outdoorzy resort on the south coast of Jamaica. It’s nowhere near the resort areas. In fact, you will have to take a cab or Jakes can get you a drive to take you the 2 hours through the mountains to their property. Jakes rests on a 10 foot cliff overlooking the Caribbean. There are beach dogs sprinkled here and there, hammocks strung between trees, a saltwater pool, and an interesting library of music you can just take back to your cottage if you like. And the cottages are amazing. They are funky, and will be like nowhere else you’ve stayed. Treasure Beach is the community this place is located in, and the locals are friendly folk. We hopped on board a boat one morning with a fisherman named Dennis and caught some sweet fish, then took them to a bar made of driftwood about a 1/2 mile off shore on stilts, and the resident red stripe swinging, dread-locked chef cooked it up.

Jakes has quite a clientèle too, including Bono of U2 fame. Oh, and me! Check out my trip report from my visit here. Rates start at $95 a night.

If you’re not an Outdoorzy member today, join up and take advantage of this offer for your next vacation. You won’t be sorry!
