Hah- this is hilarious. The food is generally terrible in the Caribbean. The food at the rosewood LDB was particularly bad for the level of the resort. Don't go anywhere in the Caribbean expecting good food.
What I like about the food here? There is a distinct effort to have a menu witha majority of local flavors. It sounds cliche, but jerk chicken, curry goat, salt fish, Jamaican fruits/vegetables, etc...very nice. Plus, they have their own organic garden and much of the produce comes from there. (PS, I've had great food experiences at Dorado Beach, Condado, Ritz Aruba, Manchebo Aruba, quite a bit in Turks, Cuisinart @ Anguilla, and so on.....)
@ offerendum: only heard negative things? Care to elaborate?
Listen, if you're coming here expecting Aman level design, service, food - go elsewhere. Don't come to Jamaica and expect anything but a laid back vibe, decor, and culinary POV. This is a 'shoes off' type of place...
Frankly, it reminds me of why I'm not an Amanjunkie. The line of the day (maybe the line of the year) was: "want to go to a mortuary? Go to an Aman"...and after my last three dining at an Aman experience, while the food was a complete 10, it was one of the least relaxing experiences i've ever had. Would take GoldenEye ANYDAY to that.
