No, I do not recall a poster named Sasha.
I also am glad to hear of a budget hostel in Kingston, but I will keep an open mind on it until someone that has actually stayed there comments on it.
I am also for Scotty General giving good info on Kingston, as long as he does not promote his business in the same post.
ONE LOVE !!

Sasha was TivertonHouse's real name. Jamaica Escapes was his business.

He helped me plan a lot of trips back in the day, and never made a dime off me as his help was not booking a villa for me, it was more to do with places to go and things to do. He did that on b boards and also privately by email.

He was a good guy. I wonder how that business is doing without him, it is still around but the new people don't participate on b boards like he did.

Now I remember him !!
TivertonHouse !
But as I recall, he never did disclosed on this forum, that he was the actual owner of those businesses that he promoted.
I also understand that he passed away a couple of years ago.

He didn't own any villas, he was more like a travel agent for off the beaten path, mostly villa, vacations. He repped them and got a commission for booking them, but didn't own them.

He traveled to JA a lot, seemed to always be up on what attractions were open, what new ones had popped up...

Hi again :)
I'm now enjoying my time in Jamaica. By the time my project is done, I will have visited Ocho Rios, Negril, Kingston and Treasure Beach. For my last 5 days I'm thinking of going back to Negril or to Montego bay (since im leaving from the airport there....)
Any good ideas for those two places? :)

I would suggest staying in negril for ur last 5 days and do a few day trips from there ..Y's Falls, Floyds pelican bar, Black River Tour , blue Hole etc..lots to do on that side or just relax in nwgril.
Or yu could spend 4 days in Portland and return to Mobay for ur last night
Have fun ..

If you've already been to Negril you know if you like it or not. If not, check out Duncans Bay (not far form airport), quiet and cool place to hang out, or if you are feeling up for adventure, go to Portland - sounds like you won't get to see it unless you do it then, and it is WELL worth your time. Ivanhoes is Porty is a good budget options but there are lots of cool places to stay and TONS to see and do.
