After a tough week, its hard not to think about going to your happy place.
Everyone's is different, I suppose. Mine is most definitely Jamaica. And a
little spot called Jake's in particular. Jake's has a particular brand of rustic chic that appeals to my gypsetter
spirit. There is absolutely diddly to do there and that suits me fine. The
hotel was founded by the wife of Perry Henzell, who directed "The Harder
They Come". As cool as that movie is is how cool Jake's is. If you are
looking for evian spritzing waiters and wearing a jacket to dinner, this is
not your jam. If you are looking to conquer a very long novel, stare at the
ocean, listen to roots, wear a sarong to dinner, and drink a red stripe in a
sort of post Gaudi/Moorish influenced environ, well then go man/woman go.
It's a special treasure of a place that is neither fancy nor posh but super
stylish in its own way and a pure slice of heaven. Did I mention they have a
spa too? I WANT TO GO THERE NOW. No matter- I am there in my mind.
