Jewel Paradise Cove Resort and Spa

I brought my own speaker for yoga and used it for Aqua Zumba once but it wasn't very loud. I did connect with their larger loud speaker but you need an auxillary cord to connect or a computer to play your playlist. The resort staff was phenomenal. I was disappointed in the resort's inability to announce my classes. The spa only had a small area to conduct yoga and didn't have many yoga mats (and they weren't clean). When I first arrived, I was told to go to the spa to learn my schedule and all they had me scheduled for was a 1/2 hour Aqua Zumba class. On Monday afternoon, I learned that I was supposed to teach yoga at 8am, AZ at 11:00, and Zumba at 12pm so I only taught AZ on Monday. Overall, I was okay with my schedule (not having anyone show up for Zumba at 12pm) because it was hot and I was overheated from AZ at 11am.

I love teaching on vacation and this was a great week. Class was held outside the spa and on the beach. I used my own bluetooth speaker for music. Really great time with my companion! Thank you.

The spa staff were very pleasant and helpful. Meschka, the receptionist, attended my class and was a delightful student. I had a great experience overall. Thank you!

Spa staff is very friendly and helpful. Another great trip at a great resort with great staff! Yoga class is held in the gazebo - gorgeous!

I taught on the balcony over the beach and outdoor gazebo. Sure were great 'studios'! they have nice mats and blocks. Cleaner and plenty of towels. I am booking again within the year. Great resort, friendly and helpful! I had a great week. I had participants in all classes and the staff were helpful at all times.

aradise Cove is an amazing resort with a terrific yoga studio just a few feet of the rhythmic waves of the Caribbean Sea! Paradise Cove has straps, blocks and mats for all participants. There were a few yogis every day, at every class. Beautiful studio and beautiful resort

I worked every day except on Sunday; I had an average of eight students every time.That was my seventh year with Fit Bodies and it was my best one.

2 daily yoga classes. 8 AM well attended (from 3 to 8 people). 4 PM yoga/meditation less well attended (2 folks or none).This was my second week in Jamaica, so I knew that I had to be proactive about promoting the classes. I posted the flyer at the watersport's center. The resort listed the times of the daily classes in their daily flyer, which was distributed to the guests. Chatting with folks about the classes was the best way to get guests to participate!

Classes were 8 AM and 5 PM daily. My average group was 6 to 8 students for each class both men and women of all ages. Some were new to yoga and others had experience. I tailored the class so that everyone could benefit. In the AM we went on upper deck in the PM to the grass. Both however were ocean views and modified sun. You meet at the gym each time to collect the mats, straps and blocks. Students showed for every class. They really like yoga at this resort.There are 2 Jewel resorts here a mile from each other. One is families and the other adults only. As an instructor I taught only at the adult resort. But they had me stay at first in the family resort and they provided ride back and forth and then they later moved me to the adult resort and then back to the family resort for the last night. As an instructor expect to stay at both resorts but teach at one because they sometimes get unexpected guests and need the rooms. All in all both resorts are wonderful and the beach at the family resort was a big nice beach and the beach at the adult resort was very nice more like a cove and great for snorkel. The staff and checking in and out was very smooth and professional. These resorts are elite, very clean and organized. I really enjoyed my stay. I also received a massage at the Radiant Spa; was exquisite. There are many excursions that fit in with your time off from teaching so do explore them at the desk. Check out margaritaville.

Spinning 8am and 4pm, six bikes, two to five participants. No participants on Friday (Friday is a travel day for most Americans). Resident pro (Bishop), appreciated eating breakfast with us every day. If room was locked, can get a key from the spa. Get some bottles of water from the lobby for participants that forget. Bring your own sweat towel from the room. The speaker is wireless, I used my cable most of the time. Get there early to turn on the AC, the remote is in the cardio room. Bishop said there are two other bikes that need repair. Next teaching pro should take pedals for a Schwann IC Pro.Highly recommend Jewel, Paradise Cove. It is laid back, not crazy like I thought an adult only Resort would be. Plenty of cultural evening entertainment, great July 4th party. Great staff. Great restaurants. We never left the resort, once.

Have good time with Peter the resident Tennis pro we had guest mainly in the morning 8h 30 to 9h 30 beginners or advances players.The resort is very nice and and the employees make you feeling like your part of the Jamaican family. Very good time!

Just got back from a week at Paradise JPC. Staff couldn't be better. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I upgraded to an ocean front king for $350 extra. Definitely worth it Room was quiet and had a great view. Resort was well maintained and easy to get around. I taught tennis 8:30-10:30, occupancy was very low so didn't teach until Thursday. Not exactly an a m. Tennis crowd if you know what I mean. Courts were just resurfaced and play great. Food was good, not great. Buffets were better than expected. Restaurants not so much. Jade was fun and the food really good, once is enough. Great smoothie bar on beach. Definitely a good value for the money. I've taught at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita twice so my standard is very higj.

It was a great balance of teaching spinning (6 bikes in a designated studio overlooking the water) at 8 am and Yoga at 4 pm. Spinning I had between 2-6 participants, both new and experienced. Yoga I had between 5-14 every afternoon from new to experienced as well. I taught the Yoga on the quiet pier surrounded by water, perfect!! I did teach spin m-sat. and Yoga m-f. This resort was very organized. The front desk had a preliminary schedule for me which they were happy to adjust as I was originally scheduled to teach body sculpt in am, switched to spin. My poster was up Sunday, shortly after I arrived. Very smooth and well run.
