Dear Chris,

It’s been ages since we last caught up. I hope everything is going well with you. To be honest I was thrilled to hear that you’re planning a holiday, and it will be a pleasure for me to help you out.

Last summer I went to a Caribbean island with my family. It was near Jamaica, but hear me out with this one. It is a hidden gem. It has crystal clear water and golden sandy beaches, but what really stood out to me were the thermal pools that are tucked away on the mountains.

My family and I stayed in a cozy guest house right by the beach. The place was spotless and the sun rises were spectacular to contemplate each morning over coffee. In addition, the Island offers plenty of options for all kinds of activities. such as hiking along the cliffs as well as water sports like kayaking and snorkeling. You should definitely check out the live music in the Central Square every night. And last but not least, the food. The seafood there was out of this world. You’d absolutely love the local pastries; they’re pretty addictive.

I honestly cannot wait to hear where you decide to go. If I can guess I’m sure you will be just as over the moon as we were last summer if you visit this place.

Take care and enjoy every second of your holiday wherever you decide to go.

Yours sincerely,

Ginet Jaspe.
