Sunspot’s staff will prepare all meals, snacks and drinks, however, food and alcohol are not included in the rental. Prior to your arrival, the staff will do a limited amount of shopping on your behalf at the local store. When you arrive there will be snacks and a prepared meal. The staff will discuss your complete meal requirements with you upon your arrival. If you prefer the staff to shop for you, they will continue to shop at TAYLOR’S market, the local store on your behalf. You are expected to settle your account at TAYLOR’S before you leave. If you prefer to shop for yourself, there are several local stores. Turning RIGHT (West) on the main road towards Montego Bay, but immediately in the Runaway Bay shopping area, there are several stores (TAYLOR’S, L&M; MARKET, etc.) as well as a local bakery which sells Jamaican patties, coco bread, meatloaf patties, and various baked sweets. About 10 minutes further is Discovery Bay. Prior to reaching the gas station, there is a small convenience store on the left in a small shopping center. It is very small but very well stocked. Take a hard left at the corner of the gas station, and about 100 yards up on the right is another small shopping center. The "supermarket" on the left is fairly well stocked. The bakery to the left of the supermarket is similar to the bakery in Runaway Bay. Turning LEFT (East) on the main road towards Ocho Rios, there is a small shopping center on the left, past the small town of Salem. The supermarket there is also fairly well stocked. The meat store to the left of the supermarket is the best place to buy all kinds of meat including Jamaican style selections. Continuing toward Ocho Rios, there is a small fishing village on the left about 5 minutes past the meat store. The best time to visit is around 10:30 to 11:30 AM. If you catch the boats coming in, there is usually a small but nice selection of just caught fish, and occasionally, lobster. Do not hesitate to buy fish from the local spear fishermen walking along the road with their spear guns and catch. This fish was just caught. The best supermarket is about 20 minutes away in Ocho Rios. Bear left at the fork in the road when entering Ocho Rios, and continue into the town looking for the Jamaica Tourist Board office sign on the left. Turn left into the shopping center. This market has just about anything you may want: fresh, frozen, canned or dry. Floor Plan FLOOR PLAN: Sunspot Villa
