And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold
– William Shakespeare, Two Gentlemen of Verona II.IV
Thus spoke Valentine of Silvia in a quintessential tale of larger-than-life love that only The Bard could encapsulate in words. Unrequited and magnificent, such emotion is reduced to metaphors of precious stones and plentiful treasures squirrelled away in the far-flung corners of the Earth.
Perhaps this is why we hold the art of holidaymaking in such high regard. It is through these stunning seascapes, gold-dusted sand, and fairytale vistas that we find landscapes befitting our innermost desires to be free, happy, and generally blissed-out in the fair weather.
This is precisely the crack with Jewel Resorts, a portfolio of such sophisticated opulence that it drapes a stone upon its very name. What follows is a little valuation for the ins-and-outs of the Jewel Resorts treasure-trove.
Initial valuation
Jewel Resorts constitute Jamaica’s highest calibre of all-inclusive holiday, thoughtfully situated in some of most jaw-flooring locations the island has to offer. The Jewel Resorts portfolio is currently three strong: the family friendly Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort, and the adults-only Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa and Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa. This treasured triplet may not currently reside in your vacation vernacular, but just wait until you get an eyeful of its catalogue of inclusions…
Hitting the motherlode
The real distinguishing factor for Jewel Resorts is the monumental flexibility at your disposal when you select them as your holiday host. You get all the exquisite dining, premium brand drinks, free water sports, and poolside reclining you’d expect from a resort of their calibre, but that’s only the start of the treasure trail.
Jewel Resorts are absolutely dedicated to the stunning landscapes that constitute Jamaica; those very same exotic landscapes that Ol’ Will evoked in Two Gentlemen of Verona. Your Jewel Resorts holiday will come with a bounteous catalogue of tours, excursions, and adventures, all included as part of your stay.
For example, if you choose to holiday at Jewel Paradise Cove Beach Resort & Spa, you can embark on all of these epic outings completely free of charge:
• Konoko Falls Tour
• Sunset Cruise, glass bottom boat tour
• Shopping Tour and trip to Margaritaville
• Reef Snorkelling Excursion
Diving for pearls
If you’ve got a bit of the buccaneer about you, then you’ll positively salivate at the boatloads of water sports included in a Jewel Resorts holiday. Your aquatic antics come completely free of charge, and include the following:
• Scuba Diving for PADI certified divers
• Scuba Diving course for beginners.
• Waterskiing
• Hobie Cat sailing
• Windsurfing with instruction
Diamonds are forever
Lest we forget, the evergreen pursuits of sun-worshipping, beach-lounging, and wistful relaxation are never far away with a Jewel Resorts holiday. Elegant pools and swish accommodations ensure that the holidaying basics are well and truly nailed.
