Times are tough and hotels are working all the angles to get guests interested these days. The air is thick with “Stimulus Package” deals (at least they don’t also include chocolate-covered strawberries, the previous gold standard in hotel-land add-ons) and other gimmicks reflecting the trends of today. Even so, when this came over the transom, we were both puzzled and intrigued: Jake’s, a great (and inexpensive) property on Treasure Beach on Jamaica’s southern coast, is offering a “reggaelates” program. What, pray tell, is reggaelates? Why, it’s Pilates mixed with reggae music, of course. Think of it as chocolate in your exercise peanut butter. The real pitfall: employing small motor skills in Jamaica isn’t always easy, especially when you’re grooving to those reggae beats.
