I won an all-inclusive trip to Jamaica from Bev Mo! to spend a week at adults only Sunset at the Palms in Negril. What a prize!
Can you believe my luck?
Seriously, I have had the best luck in the world lately and winning a trip to Jamaica has got to be one of the best things I’ve ever won in my life! So many people tell me they never enter contests because they don’t think anyone wins, but that’s obviously not true! Thank you, BevMo!
You might remember that I had a giveaway on my site for a $50 BevMo! gift card when I posted my cousin Denisa’s Pimm’s Cup recipe earlier this summer?
I had been following BevMo! on Twitter, but I then looked them up on Facebook and noticed they were having a “Summer of Rum Sweepstakes” to win a trip to Jamaica, and it didn’t take me any convincing to know I’d love to win this contest! Well guess what? That’s going to be me sitting on that lounge chair on the beach, sipping that Appleton Rum cocktail very soon!
Here’s another really cool thing: next year, my husband and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary (OMG, I’m like an old person, but I’m really not), so winning this trip is perfect timing!
So we’re being flown to Montego Bay, Jamaica, courtesy of the Jamaica Tourist Board (thank you Jamaica Tourist Board!) and will then stay at the all-inclusive Sunset at the Palms in Negril for 8 days and 7 nights!! Just look at these photos of the resort, which just happens to be one of TripAdvisor’s top ten Most Romantic Resorts in the Caribbean!
My husband and I are hoping to take our very first trip to the Caribbean sometime in January or February, so you know you’ll be seeing some delicious Jamaican recipes and cocktails here on my site shortly thereafter, not to mention, gorgeous photos of Jamaica! I hope you’ll sign up for my free email subscription to keep updated (PURPLE BUTTON BELOW).
And if you see BevMo! giving away another trip to somewhere that sounds too good to be true (which I’m sure they’ll be doing at some point), you’d better enter because someone’s going to win and don’t you think it should be you?
Have you ever been to the Caribbean, or more specifically, Jamaica? Do you have any advice for a first time traveler? Like, what drinks should I be ordering? :) Let me know in the comments below…

Congratulations on your winning the trip to Jamaica, I was just there last year, I have been there twice. I hope you have as much fun there as I did, I was in Lucea and Montego Bay. I have been following you for some time now and just love the recipes from the UK as I am from there myself.
Thank you, Celia! I am sure it won’t be difficult to enjoy ourselves at this little piece of heaven! :) Thank you for following along, I truly appreciate it…comments like yours make my day! Have a great weekend! CC
Wow Christina, congratulations. How wonderful that you won that trip. I love Jamaica, It’s so beautiful and you will both have an amazing time. Looking forward to some photo’s. I stayed in Ocho Rio’s. when I was there. It’s like paradise.
Thanks, Suzanne! I can only imagine, since I’ve never been to the Caribbean before, but not too long now and I will see it for myself! :)
Congratulations on your win to Jamaica! That is so wonderful & for a long time too. You are still young & beautiful, your husband is so handsome. I am a subscriber to your blog & really like your recipes. Looking forward to some of that food they have where you are going in January or February.
Thank you, Lela, both for your congratulations and for subscribing to my emails! I really appreciate it! Yes, I’ll definitely be picking up some tips on Jamaican food! :)
Hi Christina,
How wonderful for you! I always enter contests, sometimes I win and sometimes I don’t. But never won a trip! You are truly blessed and not only win this prize but to be able to celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary as well! Congratulations on both! Beautiful photos of the Sunset at the Palms, resort in Jamaica. I love your Wedding photo, just gorgeous! You will have to share some of your photos when you go on the trip. I guess I will have to check out Bevmo! You never know! Thanks for sharing…so happy for you!
Dottie :)

Your friends at BevMo!
Thank you SOOOO very much! I’m so happy I won, too! Cannot wait to get on that beautiful beach as I’ve been wanting to go to the Caribbean since I was a teenager! I will take tons of pics, it won’t be a problem! ;)
