That's why I like the smaller local places. No service charge. I would rather tip accordingly for good service.Quote:

That really is a bummer,having stayed there several times before we became westenders,we too have very fond memories but it's almost like they're asking you not to come?its a beautiful place on an awesome stretch of beach,like the beach itself eventually it'll come back,no worries mon,soon come
Thank you for your information. A few weeks ago there was no one there they were putting up a roof.
I will be sure to not go to Seasplash again really sad they treated you so bad.
Love the report so far, can't wait to hear more.
We went to SeaSplash 18 months ago, had 4 red stripes and the bill came, it was $28.00! When we questioned them they said it was $6 a beer and a $4 tip built in. As we left we told 3 couples walking in what happened and all of them turned & left. I too will never darken their door step again, to many fun places to stop along the beach and start up a conversation with the locals.
I would have paid $31 Jamaican
Anyway, moving on from the bad stuff.
We met up with a friend expat of ours for a few dinners. One was down at charella on a Thursday. There were four different performers each with a different style. I especially enjoyed Robin Banks and her set was way too short. She sat with us at our table and we had a nice conversation about music and other things. A nice lady and great singer. I can say my fish was great there, my wife ordered a steak , but it was not good. The only good beef we've ever had was a giant burger at Sunset after Dark, but that's just an opinion.
It's hard to go wrong with fish in a fishing town.
I admire everyone who can take notes during their stay and then write a blow by blow report. I don't have that sort of discipline. And as you can tell, I get interupted by life back here. I do enjoy the sort of Ground Hog Day existence that we experience in Jamaica. Now that I'm home things seem to have gone super sonic almost as fast as the plane landed back home.
But by tonight I'll have pictures unloaded and combined from different sources and be able to post a bunch.
We had plans, like we always do, to do a few things. The pub crawl was one and we never made it. I remember walking back from Cosmos and looking out at the road as the pub crawl bus drove by. "oh ya, we were going to do that...oh well". No big loss, no insult to those who have done it, I/we just put different priorities on things. We had discussed doing the Rhodes Hall thing too, same issue, plans get preempted by feet stuck firmly in the sand. Oh, and I wanted to do a day or three at Half Moon....again....the best laid plans blah blah....you know how it goes.
One thing we did do was dinner at the German Bar. The food, service and prices are worth the trip. We actually went twice.
Example: 3 people, 3 entre's, 3 alcoholic beverages $45 including tip.
More tings coming as I think of them and I'll start getting the pictures up tonight.
