Located close to Annotto Bay, St. Mary, Robin's Bay Village & Beach Resort caters not only to guests who want to pamper their bodies but also to those who want to excite their palates. The menu includes both international cuisine and meals with a Jamaican flavour.

The resort has become the perfect hideaway for city folks who want a change of scene for Sunday breakfast and dinner. Also, many guests who visit the resort testify that it is the ultimate getaway. It provides the perfect opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Once there, you have the choice of either enjoying a drink at the bar or sitting down to a scrumptious meal.

Give the stove a rest and venture to one of Jamaica's cosiest spots. Here the faint lull of the nearby man-made waterfall can be heard from the main dining room as you relax with loved-ones and enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. Brunch is not currently on the menu but plans are in place to include it soon.

The resort caters to registered guests as well as school and church groups. These groups often use the resort for conferences or days out. Also the resort has designed day pass packages where they can enjoy the facilities plus a tasty lunch.

Last Thursday, The Gleaner's Lifestyle team visited the resort and found it to be very relaxing. The chef received high praise for the food which was well presented and tasted even better.

Subsequently, the team can now confidently recommend: Robin's Bay coconut-breaded chicken breast with mango glaze; seafood mix grill; lobster, shrimp or fish grilled with creamy seafood sauce and rosemary roasted chicken marinated in olive oil. Also enjoy a seasonal blended fruit juices and top it all off with a slice of potato pudding, cheesecake or a scoop of ice cream.
