Accommodations and Travel
2007 WRITERS' RETREAT - JAMAICA
August 15 - 20, 2007
Accommodations:
The south coast district of Treasure Beach is authentically laid back. The folks who live here
either fish or farm. And the folks who come here like to chill. The chilliest of the chill spots is
Jakes. Vogue calls it “the chicest shack in the Caribbean.” The Evening Standard calls it
“officially the coolest place to stay in the world.”
For flights to Jamaica (Montego Bay) on Air Jamaica and Continental Airlines; contact
Valerie Pollard at http://www.protravelnetwork.com/vpoll to make your airline reservations. If
your trip is paid in full by April 30, 2007; you will receive a $150.00* discount on your airfare
when you book through our agent. (*A $150.00 refund check will be mailed to you July 31, 2007).
For ground transportation to the retreat — and you’ll need it because Treasure Beach is a
2 1/2 -hour drive from either airport — Roundtrip transfers for three (3) separate groups, arriving/departing
MoBay will be secured with TREASURE TOURS, one of our best on-island guide/transport services
(charter day sailing for up to 12 people also available aboard 'The Adventuress'). Your best
resource for comprehensive information on Jamaica — including the south coast and
Treasure Beach — is the 50 year-old Jamaica Tourist Board.
