I have often dreamed of a Caribbean idyll where I could take a few steps from my private bungalow overlooking the intoxicating sea and immediately dive into aquarium-like conditions replete with all manner of fish life. This vision finally manifested with a stay at the Rockhouse Hotel on the cliffs of Negril in Jamaica. The dramatic cliffs pockmarked with caves and fissures teaming with silversides and kissed by tropical light were as close to living my dream as I’ve yet found.
