🍽️🇯🇲 Let’s Talk About the FOOD in Jamaica!
One thing my husband and I always try to do when we travel is eat things we can’t get back home. We want to experience the destination through the food — and after living in Hawaii, we have to admit… we secretly miss having really fresh fish readily available. 🐟❤️
So naturally, we were very happy campers in Jamaica!
Between Ocean Eden Bay and Couples Swept Away, we had a lot of opportunities to try different things, and the food was definitely part of the experience.
☕️ Breakfast started things off right — fresh omelets, tropical fruit, plantains, coconut pastries and plenty of coffee. Give me a plate of plantains at breakfast and I'm a happy girl. 😂
🌴 Lunch was exactly what you want on a Caribbean vacation — casual, easy and often right by the beach. Fresh seafood, Jamaican flavors, salads, sandwiches and plenty of options to grab something without having to completely interrupt your pool or beach day.
🍽️ Dinner was where we really had fun trying different things. Both resorts offered a variety of dining options, but honestly…
🇯🇲 The Jamaican food was our favorite.
And the JERK. 🔥
I'm not sure what they are doing differently down there, but Jamaican jerk is on another level. The seasoning, the smokiness, the spice… we kept going back for it.
We also loved having the opportunity to try dishes and flavors that we simply don't get at home. That's one of my favorite parts of traveling — not just seeing a new place, but tasting it.
Overall, we were really happy with the dining at both resorts. There was enough variety that we never felt stuck eating the same thing, and we could choose between casual beachside meals, more traditional Jamaican flavors and nicer dinners.
And honestly, there is something pretty special about eating fresh fish, Jamaican food and tropical fruit while sitting in the Caribbean breeze with your feet practically in the sand. 🌴🐟🍹
Would I travel to Jamaica for the food alone? Probably not.
Would I happily go back for the food? Absolutely. 😂🇯🇲❤️
Because that jerk chicken? I’m still thinking about it.
