we have been going to Negril for 7 years now, we usually stay at Rooms, but after our dollar has been taken a **** kicking, and having to pay in U.S. this sucks, this is why our next trip will be at a place that books in canadian , Fun Holiday does it, soon come
Wow, didn't know Fun Holiday or anywhere books with CAD. Did you have to call them? It would be great if some places looking for more business would do that, at a decent rate.
That would be great if more places accepted CDN at booking.
I exchange my CDN in Negril and pay in J$ Not sure if it makes much difference but it seems to .

My stay is booked and paid in CAD at rooms always
If you have never stayed at Fun Holiday before; I would advise you to not pay for their all inclusive package. I stayed there and if you were not in the initial line for the buffet your selection was very minimal and most things were not refilled. If you were later than 45 min. from the start of the buffet you had to piece together what you could from what was left from the start. The bar gave out as little as possible and a lot of the time had no vodka rum or whiskey. The staff were nice and as a cheap basic place to stay I would say go for it but as an all inclusive this place failed. You can book room only . Location is good.. rooms are basic but fine for a budget trip.. balconies are all in row with no privacy .
Anybody ..know any other hotels that offer a "pay in Canuck bucks " ..situation
What difference does it make? You still pay the going exchange rate. The is no money savings at all. If u book on any of the booking websites u can pay in any currency u like.
no way mon, when we book for Rooms we are told that we have to pay in U.S. now being a Canadian you should know that our dollar is less than the U.S. dollar, about 25 percent, now when i pay for our resort we pay 25 per cent more which adds up over a couple of weeks, and paying for meals and drinks at other places in Ja in U.S. us Canadians are getting ripped off,we get a better exchange rate at our Canadian bank to change our Can dollars to Jamican dollars, you should be able to do the math, soon comeOriginally Posted by slimjim
Some Negril establishments will accept payment in Canadian dollars. Do not for a minute think that someone will take $100 Cdn for payment, if you owe them $100US. They may accept the equivalent amount in Canadian dollars. These days the equivalent amount of $100US is approximately $132 Cdn.
jamaicarob, if Fun Holiday quotes you a rate in Cdn. dollars, I have to think they base that rate quote on an equivalent amount of US dollars. Say for example a one night stay is $75 US (they would quote around $100 Cdn per night).
