St. James, Coral Reef Club Hotel

We stayed at the lovely Coral Reef hotel on the The West coast is a lovely place to stay quieter than the South and the beaches are wonderful especially Payne's Bay Beach. The whole coast is lined with trees

My husband and I planned on a taxi our last trip but the fare is horrendous. Imagine this for US$65.00 per person we visited Harrison's Cave, Orchid World, St Johns Church, Bathsheba, Had a great Lunch Visited the Reserve and drove through the West Coast including Holetown where the settlers first landed. In addition to this our guide from Glory Tours was wonderful and knowledgeable http://glorytours.org We fell in love with the Island so much that day we decided to rent a car from Stoutes Car Rental http://www.stoutescar.com/ which also proved a wonderful decision.

I would suggest taking a tour with Glory Tours first and then renting a car the tour will give you a better an idea of places you might wish to explore a bit more and the car will give you the extra time to do it

We also enjoyed a lovely cruise up the West coast and the plantations Roots and Rhythms show

We will be returning again later this year
