Hello Negrillers!
Can someone tell me about Negril Palm hotel, I have a short trip in Feb. and I haven't been able to find an available room at my favorite hotels so I have to try something new and I saw this hotel with available rooms although I'm a little bummed it's at the boring side of the beach..HaHa!IMO.:)
Must Haves: Clean room, Ocean view, Coffeemaker, WiFi & Balcony/Patio... am I headed in the right direction booking this hotel?
Thank you!
We're reserved there for the third week of April, and we did that at the recommendation of friends who walked it down last year. They said is was clean, and that there was work going on. I understand they retiled the pool lately, and did some work on some of the rooms. Another friend is 'pon d'beach this week, and said he'd try to walk up that way to take a look. No word from him yet.
IrieChic We stayed there in April. Very clean, most rooms will not have a view. The rooms go down a walkway on both sides. No coffee maker and if you want a frig it's $10 per night. The grounds are beautiful, but we did have some issues with our room as did other guests. Air did not work properly and we had a lock that did not work on the sliding door. We ended up bolting it and leaving and entering from the back door.Quote:

For the price (about $45.00 a night) it was hard to complain, but with a little work I could see it being a very nice place.
Hope this helps.
Mamade - Were they aware of all the issues? or you all just dealt with them?Quote:

They definately were aware of the issues, and were very nice and tried to fix them. We had maintenance in 3 times the 1st hour, we tried to move but they claimed no other rooms. He did get it to work, but we had to keep it on 24-7 to keep the room cool.(which I hate to do in Jamaica or anywhere else) If we shut it, it would take HOURS to cool the room down. Same with the lock, he replaced parts, but didn't have the one he needed.. And, they do have a small but nice section of beach with umbrellas. Staff was hit or miss....Maintenance and housekeeping were awesome, security and beach staff so so. (meaning friendliness) IMO
If you do stay, just really check your lock. You could not really tell it was broke, but my bf thought it felt loose, it could be open with anything - screwdriver, key, etc.... But there is another door to use or I would not have stayed in that room.
Ok Thanks again Mamade for all the info!
I will only be there a couple days so hopefully I can manage I'm in Jamaica right! Lol
Have you looked at Travellers?
No Melody where are they located on the beach?Quote:

There is at least one superior room that has a kitchenette...$118/night tax in, high season. Summer special this year has been ~ $59 for standard room. Deluxe & suites also available. Management is on property and customer service is good. Managers cocktail party and entertainment a few nights a week. Flip has stayed and enjoyed, would return. They've had several Groupon deals over the last few years that I've noticed. AC in all except their rustic cottages. I'm trying it out New Years.Quote:

It is a wonderful property and I don't mind the location as we spend the whole day walking anyway. Staff is great, pool is awesome, fridge was at our door inside of 10 minutes of checking in and the wi-fi reached down to the beach. I will say the one down side is when the river comes in the ocean will be discoloured all day long, but again that didn't really bother us as we were on the move.(and it only happened twice during our 10days) Have a great time!!!
Mmofat- Thank you for that info it looks very nice!
Melody- It was the map on TripAdvisor..
Thanks again for all the info I'm going to go with Holiday its in a perfect location where I usually stay.
My pick is Bar B Barn, you will have little verandas, but no ocean views. Breakfast comes with the room, it is clean and shabby chic. It is DEF not the "boring" end of the beach, but to be honest, my problem with it and Travelers is TOO CLOSE TO THE NASTY river, which had a tendency to dirty the ocean many days last trip. Now if you stay down say at Treehouse, or The Palms you will not have that problem.
I have never stayed at the Palms but I did take a notion to spend a beach day there and they were more than kind and hospitable and accommodating. So it's six on one hand and half dozen on the other.
I can give a bit of insight on Fun Holiday. Very basic Super8 type rooms. Bed, dresser,TV, bathroom (we had easter bunny curtains we thought were kind of cute). Nice people and the two things we needed done to our room were fixed within a day. There is an extra cost for a refrigerator but well worth it to keep your stuff cold. They have a nice bonfire on the beach once a week or so too. Food so,so and drinks pretty good.
