I have some questions for the regulars and property owners...
Never done the EP thing, but we're going to get a taste of it in April, Soon Come! My question is about the resorts along the beach that also have their own restaurant... I'm looking at places such as Charela, Tree-House, CountryCountry, etc. Can a person just wander up from the beach for lunch or dinner? What is preferred currency... $US, $JA, credit card?
As always, thanks for being so helpful!
Non guests are welcome pretty much anywhere except the AI's. For sure they are at the places you mentioned. $US or $JA either one is fine in fact most places show the amount of your bill in both. We don't go the credit card route but those are fine too - just make sure your card does not charge a foreign exchange fee.
always pay in Jamaican currency, soon come
Rondel village, Kuyaba, Bourbon Beach. Jamaican currency.
Why? In twelve trips I have never paid in anything in US dollars. No complaints from anyone yet!Originally Posted by jamaicarob

Jamaican goes further. You do about 7% better using J.
But that depends on the exchange rate.

Yes Treehouse accepts Jamaican and US currency and give you back US change . Stop by our Jerk Grill and see our Self Proclaimed Hollywood Chef Allan
We will definitely be doing that, Gail! Thanks for a reply from an owner's perspective.
We usually exchange Canadian to US before going to Negril. Once there, we exchange a bit of US to Jamaican. We carry both. Every place seems to have different exchange policies/rates. Menus can be in US, Jamaican or both. Vendors on the beach deal in one or the other also. This way, we can pay in whatever seems better at that establishment.
