Jewel Paradise Cove Resort and Spa

Just completed a week here and enjoyed it very much! I intend to go back! I taught hatha yoga, to a mostly older group. At check-in, I received an envelope with instructions and resource info from the Entertainment Team manager. You can choose to use a small studio, or other outside locations for your class. There was 10 mats (including 3 thick Manduka mats) and 9 blocks. Classes 3x day, and size ranged from 2 - 8. The staff was warm and friendly. A smaller resort, so not as many food choices as others, but manageable. The beach was smaller, but did not feel crowded and quite nice for a pleasant afternoon.

The Entertainment & sports team were very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. This is a no brainer for a fitness educator. The joy for and of others is world wide love. What a splendid opportunity to show great love and share great knowledge.

I’m extremely thankful for Fit bodies! This is my favorite way to travel. I have enjoyed every trip thoroughly and consider it an honor to represent the company and our industry.

I taught yoga and aqua programming - great fun as usual!

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.
