I'm trying to make a list of useful things to bring to an all-inclusive
resort.  I'm not talking about normal things like sunblock, shirts with a

places, I am looking for help or suggestions to help ake up my mind.
We are looking for one with a pool and jacuzzi, that's private, but

What is the name of the resort that is, I think, north of Couples at Negril.  Grand Lido is on one side of Couples and this place is on the other side.  Have heard the name but my ancient mind forgot it.  
Also any comments on that particular resort?  Have stayed at Couples Negril ...
