I recently had the opportunity to stay at the LF Jungle Retreat, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows.
The Good:
View from the Suite: The view from my room was truly lovely, offering a serene and natural setting that was perfect for relaxation.
Cleanliness and Comfort: The room itself was clean and well-maintained, with a great big bed that was very comfortable. This made for a good night's sleep.
Family Time: I used the retreat primarily as a base to spend quality time with my family, and it served this purpose well.
The Not-So-Good:
No Hot Water: Unfortunately, there was no hot water available during my stay, which meant I had to shower in cold water. This was a significant inconvenience.
Dining Experience: I had the opportunity to enjoy one evening meal during my stay, but it was disappointing. The menu lacked traditional Jamaican options such as rice and peas, curry goat, or jerk chicken. Instead, it was a simple chicken and pasta dish that didn't reflect the local cuisine. Be warned breakfast and evening meal not included in the price you pay on your card when you check in.
Overall, while the LF Jungle Retreat offers some great amenities and a beautiful setting, there are areas that need improvement, particularly in terms of basic comforts like hot water and more diverse dining options. With a few tweaks, this could be a truly wonderful place to stay.
