if you like to cook for yourself, Sea Grape has the nicest kitchen......if you don't care to cook, Wild Grape is the place....better bedrooms, more space.....

I would gladly stay at either of the cliffside villas again

I've stayed at Wild Grape and Sea Grape. It really does not take long to lock up at all. There's nothing like being able to look out at that beautiful sea is there? We really liked the fun we had jumping into the sea with no bottom in site The beach is great too but we loved jumping off into our own private entrance to the sea!!!

Great report Dave and Pooh!!! Looks like y'all had a great time.

the ground dove, usually found on the ground looking for food to eat. immortalized in a poem by the great jamaican poet, Claude McKay:

I have forgot the special, startling season
Of the pimento's flowering and fruiting;
What time of year the <span style="font-weight: bold">ground doves </span>brown the fields
And fill the noonday with their curious fluting.

Re: Down By The River

In Jamaica they are called GROUND DOVE, because they have a tendency to sun on th eground and only fly to escape. As a kid we use to take them off ther branches of small trees at night.
Since they won't move even if they hear you as long as ther is no light.
They won't eat in captivity though.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Q.K</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DiamondDave</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

But what I really really love about For Real, Charella, just to name two are those sea view rooms. </div></div>

that could be, but it might also have something to do with the size of the property....think about, say, White Sands or the old Palm Beach...their land is maybe two thirds as wide as For Real's....

I remember Angie telling us how hard it was going to be to explain to Ryan that they can't spend all day outdoors at home like we do there
