Thank you Sam I Am, will definitely do that when we go!!!!!!

The place looks like it has been closed 50 years, must be the ocean air

Stayed at T Water on our first trip in 1990 ... and several times after that. We always walk by, stop and toast the place where our love for Negril began ... keep wishing someone will buy it and turn it into a beautiful place again ... lovely stretch of beach.

Attachment 23237and for all you White Sands fans you know Paul, he started out in the Ais, then T-Water and since White Sands.

Stayed next to the T-Water back in '84. It was a great place. Went over for drinks. But everything has changed on the beach since then. But it's still a party.

Thanks Lulu & Al brings back some nice memories of the place.My wife and I renewed our wedding vows on the beach.It was the first place I ever stayed in negril and always went back till they closed.

First Place I stayed in Negril in '89, I Remember "Spike" and his 50lb block of ice, and ice pick, pecking away until you needed a drink., he would get your drink and then back the block of ice. (chipped ice in drinks they taste better ;) )

Thank you for the update Lulu and Al.......brought a tear to my eye to hear of Mr Ralph Grant and Tuppie. Will have to go and have a dance on the sand under the moonlight for old times sake 26 years later :) Also will dig out some pics and post of the T Water in its heyday...
