I went up to the gate and the security person came out. I asked her if this was connected to Dunn’s River and she said no, it’s private property. The name of it is Rio Chico. I snapped a few shots and it was after coming back home that I did a search to see what this Rio Chico was about. Come to find out that it’s Butch Stewart’s private estate. More on Rio Chico here.







After being in the water for so long, I was beat, so I called my bro to pick us up.

Re: Persons, Places and Things - Jamaica '09

Hadiah - very nice report I appreciate your obvious devotion and closeness to your family and as always I love the nature pics.

One thing I love about Ja.com is that every time I read a trip report I get to add something to my list of places top see the next time I go home...

Thanks for the fab ideas... I;ll check out a few of these in August

Also you were looking very serene as someone else said... Good luck with the job hunting.

Nice report! love love love the east end!
If I remember correctly I think this may be Laughing Waters. Not sure. Was is near Mamee Bay?
If it is, it really is a great spot. I remember once we went there, maybe 12 of us and we were the only ones there. Brought food, pots, seasonings and ran the sweetest boat ever!
Looking forward to more.

Hadia, I had a week planned back in 04 and got laid off. Turned it into 3 weeks. Best thing ever!!
Best of luck with your search.

I'm not a big Butch Stewart fan, and this place just galls me as I know it was built on the backs of people, YOu should see if from the sea. that is where you can see the two or 3 houses that make up the whole complex. Someday when I hit the lottery I am going to rent it and me and all of my friends are going to pee in the pool.

If it's the one near Miss Viola's and Michale Clark studios, sadly someone or someone(s) are now hustling it big time, and it is no longer the isolated place you could enjoy undisturbed.
