GQ Magazine, "Where to take Her" June 2010

"We're not flush yet either but that doesn't mean we're staying put. We combed the Americas for the best girlfriend-worthy desert hideouts, mountain lodges, and secluded islands. No second mortgage required"

ROCKHOUSE leads the section called "IF I COULD TAKE HER ANYWHERE - Well-Traveled Tastemakers on Their Favorite Escapes." by Dexter Peart, Designer, WANT Les Essentials de la Vie

"Negril is known for its beach - a seven mile stretch of white sand - but the Jamaican coast gets rocky as you go west, and perched over the water, on the western 'cliff side'of the island, is the Rockhouse. I've been going to the Rockhouse for ten years; I brought my wife on her first trip to Jamaica, and she fell in love. We're island people-she's of Greek descent, and my family is Jamaican. The Rockhouse has this great vibe, which I'm a little biased about, because I think Jamaica about the food, the music, and the culture, and this incredibly relaxed feeling that sets in while you're there. And the Rockhouse is the perfect place to bring that girl you want to take somewhere, because it has all the trappings - thatched-roof bungalows that feel like French Polynesia, fishermen who bring fresh fish up to the restaurant, a fantastic bar. It's just paradise, and you'll feel like the two of you are far, far from the rest of the world. The water is pristine, and it's the best sunset you can find in Jamaica-full stop. I'll put it this way: It's my favorite place in the world." "
