Hour Wait at Airport-Arrival

[QUOTE=captaind;182178]Here's where the taxi drivers and airport workers eat. Fish, chicken, veg, cold drinks, every somthing. The brown table in the foreground of the first picture is a domino table and you don't dare put food or ANY drinks 'pon he

Where is this exactly?

LivinInThe603- If the other couple doesn't do CMB we might just do that as at 130 on a Saturday will be way busier then 1230 and it might take them over an hour to get out which means we could be waiting closer to 2 hours if we decide on CMB. I do enjoy there services :).

Problem is these are first time Jamaica travelers and husbands best friends and he wants to wait. For an extra hour it is not worth arguing with the hubby.

Doesn't make any difference. Unless you're a red plate or airport employee it's off limits

My two stays at Grand Pineapple I used the sandals lounge. I assumed it was allowed because I booked sandals transfers. Grand Pineapple guests pay for transfers, as opposed to the free ride sandals and beaches guests are provided with in their all inclusive vacation. In 2014 and 2015 it was $35 pp round trip. I rode with other guests of the sandals and beaches resorts both times.

Interestingly enough, my recent stay in June I booked transfer through JUTA, which is appearently in some way associated with Sandals based on my understanding of the conversation I listened to while my CMB rep organize my arrangements for me. That transfer, I also shared a ride with beaches and sandals guests.

In my three trips to Negril, there have never been more than 6 people that I've ridden with. The departure vans have been much fuller and we have always stopped at beaches to fill the bus.

I have had very pleasant experiences using both JUTA and the sandals transfers, as well as CMB lounge and sandals lounge.
