We arrived at BRB just in time for the Easter weekend. The resort was at capacity but it did not affect our trip. WE arrived Saturday morning, a tough red eye flight from LA, Air Jamaica flight was cramped and stuffy hot. Upon arrival at the hotel We went to the restaurant overlooking the ocean and had morning coffee and fell in love with the setting. It was perfect, unlimited coffee, eggs to order, fantastic.
Upon checkin we realized that our room was too close to the pool/activities and we were trying to sleep during the day. It wasn't happening. I found the resort problem solver, Sandra, and she quickly relocated us to a quieter section of the hotel. thank you!
We were travelling with our 17 year old daughter and stayed in the basic room. We were alittle cramped, but basically the room would be great for 2 people. The bedding needs to be replaced, not in terrible shape, but it should be done, getting alittle thin.
We went to BRB to have fun. It seemed that most people there during our stay felt the same way. I saw people of all ages, shapes and sizes having fun around the pool bar. It was hillarious to watch the games MC'd by Crazy Chris. He is an amazing dancer, and so are the other entertainment staff.
We really got a great laugh out of the SOKA competitiion. What a riot. I've never seen anything like that. It was great fun and memorable. We still talk about the people, guests and staff at BRB. Everyone was nice tried to accommodate us in every way.
We enjoyed diving with Ebi and George. They made the dive trips enjoyable and safe. We particularly remember the boat and plane wreck dive sites. True, it's not the south pacific, but enjoyable dives on nice coral reefs.
The food was fine, not stellar. We weren't looking for stellar food or accomodations. We were looking to have a fun time and we found it.
One aspect I didn't appreciate was the teenage guests acting inappropriately with each other at the disco. Too bad their parent's didn't peek in to see what they were doing. My daughter still had fun at the disco, thought it was a little lame, it was great for her. we will definately return.
We all still talk about our trip to BRB. My husband, who didn;t want to go to Jamaica ,again, still talks about Crazy Chris and just relaxing on the beach. It was a nice departure from our hectic lifestyle.
