Work Hard, Play Hard

Last week Chris and I took off to sunny Jamaica for a little break.
We went to the same resort we went to last year, Couples Sans Souci in Ochos Rios. One of the reasons I love Sans Souci so much is its nod to British Colonial architecture throughout the resort.
See those beach chairs below? This is where Chris and I spent the majority of our time. We had this little spot all to ourselves. Heaven.
Already can't wait to go back...

Where's your next vacation destination?

Looks fabulous! Welcome back to the real world. It's always brutal!

Our next vacay is to the Grand Canyon in September! I think 50% of the fun of vacation is planning/anticipating them!

Did you love Couples? We have stayed at Couples Ochos Rios once and the one in Negril twice. I'd love to visit Sans Souci now that I've seen your pictures. We thought the service at both resorts was extraordinary. My husband surprised me with a vow renewal ceremony and the staff was so accommodating, they handled all the details via email prior to our visit. Glad you had such a great time.

Um, I think I started drooling looking at these pics. They are amazing amazing amazing !! I've been dreaming of a getaway for so long now but ya know, we gotta finish that whole lil' house project we've got going on. That said, I think I'd go literally ANYWHERE at this point!

Ahhh...what a perfect spot to get-away to! We are heading to the Dominican Republic in a couple of weeks, after our boys are out of school. Have never been before...hope it is as wonderful as your vacation. Thanks for sharing!!

We *loved* Couples Sans Souci. Our room was at the very top of the hill overlooking the mineral pool area out to the ocean. The climb back up from the beach was brutal, but it helped with all the food we ate. :-)

How wonderful to sneak away to such an amazing place together!!

Tiffany said...

Ugh, I'm so jealous. That looks so relaxing. I would love to go somewhere similar and do absolutely nothing.

Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication said...

That looks gorgeous! I hope we make it to the beach this summer, but we'll see. No guaranteed vacation plans for us this summer. :\

Sarah said...

So glad you guys got away!! You definitely deserved a break! This place looks amazing. The only spot I've been to in the Caribbean is the Bahamas. Would love to check out Jamaica!! We are not heading up to PEI, Canada this year. I'm hoping to get to London sometime soon to visit my sister:) Glad you're back!

Holly said...

Your pictures are beautiful! I'd love to visit this resort - it also looks nice and secluded/private not crowded at all - just our speed. I've had a few friends stay here and they've loved it. You guys deserve a nice relaxing trip!

Emily @ EAKaHouse said...

How beautiful! We are headed to Jamaica next week! Any must do's?

Simple Dwellings said...

Ahhh it does look like heaven! I love the one shot with the stone trail and all of the tree branches above. How pretty! Looks like an amazing time. :)

Sarah @ { rad: renovations are dirty } said...

Ohhh.. very beautiful! It must've been great having such a lovely and much needed break.

Linda @ a design snack said...

Looks like Paradise! In August we're off to exotic Chatham on the sparkling shores of Cape Cod.....how I wish they really were! Well, the Cape can sparkle, at times.

This is so dreamy. We are going to London next month for a friend's birthday...sort of a different vacation from yours :)

Kelly @ View Along the Way said...

Jealous! What a stunning location!

Very picturesque and looks so peaceful.
