Jackies on the Reef

I just returned from another Healers Healing Retreat hosted by Ms Dora Chambers' Embracing Life Travel & Retreats at Jackie's on the Reef in Negril Jamaica. It was a magical experience! The foods is divine. Every meal was a 5-Star dining experience. The hosts are intentional about proving their guests with plenty of time for rest, relaxation, self-reflection, yoga, meditation, and fun. This will an annual re-treat for my self care toolbox.

What can I say? From the beginning of my stay at Jackie’s to the end. Phenomenal!! I came here on a holistic retreat with Dr. Yolanda Clay. Everything thing was exceptional. Yoga, spa treatments. Total relaxation and rejuvenation. Not to mention the meals was off the chain. Jackie very own recipes came alive. This is one experience I will never forget. And you won’t forget it either!!

I went there with girlfriends for a girls day on a group trip. Jackie's was AMAZING!!! Pure energy, Cranial was everything I dreamed and more. 4 handed massage was a highlight of thr trip. Talking to Jackie was a dream. Eat the lobster salad, best salad ever.

This place looked exactly the same as I remembered it from a few years ago, zen, simple, and beautiful. It was lovely to see Jackie again and her lovely staff. My friend and I had the hot bamboo massage and it was out of this world lying on the bed in an open hit by the water. Michelle, my massage therapist had magic hands and I was floating home after my treatment. My friend’s massage by Iresha (spelling?) was excellent too. Afternoon massage we had lobster tacos and sour sap which were OUTSTANDING. Loved the experience!

Jackie's is a place of Peace, Quiet and Serenity. I literally prayed before ai went on this this back home to Jamaica. I asked to have the resort all to myself and guess what? The universe listened. When I rested all, I could hear was the sound of the ocean, birds, and nature. The food was fresh and well prepared. The staff was sweet and helpful. For the most part, I was given the freedom to take in all of the BEAUTY I was surrounded by without interruption. I was simply invited when my next meal was ready. Gwen (the chef), Jesse, and Tony were very pleasant and respectful during my 4-day stay. Then there was Michelle my Massage Therapist. Michelle has a wonderful spirit with wonderful therapeutic hands. I recommend Michelle HIGHLY! I am a MT of 17 years myself and know great hands when it comes to body-work. Need I say more? Give yourself the gift of getting to Jackie's on the Reef. You won't want to leave. I DIDN'T. I will definitely return.
