 What happens in Negril stays
there - or so they say- but some things deserve to be talked about,
none moreso than the Smirnoff Xclusive Hotel at Grand Lido Negril.
For the Independence Weekend spanning August 4 to 6,
2007, Smirnoff, High Society and Mad Circle took over Grand Lido Negril
and filled it 400 of their most fabulous friends. Three days and two
nights of luxurious revellery, almost bordering on debauchery, added
new meaning to the phrase ‘party like a rock star’ as the
hosts delivered their promise of a premium experience.
The decadence started just hours after check-in, as the guests
boarded a luxury catamaran cruise arranged by the hosts to take the
Xclusive guests to Daydreams, a beach party being held off property at
Long Bay Beach, Negril. All eyes were fixed on the ‘cat’ as
it anchored and the guests were escorted to a cordonned VIP area decked
a private bar and buffet, and plush lounge chairs. Talk about all-
inclusive!
Smirnoff special delivery
The party
continued on the ‘cat’ later that evening as the guests
woke
up the fishes and partied on the seas while returning to
their
respective luxury suites. Those who missed the boat were taken
back to
the hotel in a fleet of coasters flanked by luxury Audi
vehicles. After
that display of decadence, some thought that was it
for the night, but
they were so wrong. Just as their manicured toes
hit the Smirnoff
Xclusive Hotel’s white sand beach, the guests
were greeted by a smiling
waiters offering glowing glasses filled
with mixes of Smirnoff’s new
flavoured vodkas. The signature
Smirnoff triple distilled vodka now
comes in three additional
variations: Green apple,Vanilla and Citrus
flavours. These were
officially launched at the bonfire beach party
which ensued, each
flavour accented by a complimentary buffet prepared
by the
Hotel’s Executive Sous Chef Wayne Crawford.
Red, white and fabulous
 The weekend came to a thrilling climax on Sunday
evening when the
signature event, Smirnoff Xclusive – the
party that is – got underway.
Friends from ‘the
outside’ joined the Xclusive bunch on the lawns by
the beach
and danced up a storm to the musical mastery of Delano T and
Richie
D, many having picked up their dancing pointers earlier that
morning
at the Mad Circle Summer Dance Class. The hosts were first on
the
dancefloor and got the party started with their emphatic display
of
dancehall moves.
Alas, all good things must
come to an end and on Monday morning most
headed back to the land of
responsibility. And now the question buzzing
on everyone’s
lips – when will it happen again?
