We're changing hotels and need some help!
This is our only 3rd trip to Negril -- 3rd year in a row though! We have always stayed at the Westender and loved it. This trip, however, we want to stay someplace a little closer to restaurants and places that we can walk to. We had thought the Westender was expensive but now that I am looking at the most popular places on the cliffs or the beach, I see that most places are, in fact, more than I realized.
We need someplace quiet and comfortable so that you feel good hanging out - verandah with a hammock, etc. We are not coming all of the way to Jamaica and not having a view of the ocean - either cliffs or beach. We don't like noise and don't want a big place. We have always travelled and stayed at small cozy places but nice. A bonus would be a fridge and hot plate. I was wondering -- when we have booked at the Westender we have not played the price listed on the website, our price for a week is always discounted. Do other places who list their rooms per night, give a solid discount for a week. We would like to keep the price under 140.00 because we are then moving onto Treasure Beach for a week after Negril and have to save some of those Jamaican dollars!!! So to reiterate...not partiers, we need a pool, it needs to be small, friendly, comfy and economical. (I have scoured all of the hotels on the site but really I couldn't decide because the prices seemed steep to me) By the way we are going end of Feb. first week of March.
Sorry, I should have back to update you
I appreciated all of the ideas and were getting ready but unfortunately my husband had a heart attack in November - pretty darn serious but he is a very healthy guy, so he has rebounded strong. However, between he and his doctor they decided that perhaps Jamaica this year was not a good place to be. His life was saved because he had a cell phone and smart enough to use it when he was way out in our summer place gardening when he only had a pain level of "3"....but with cold sweats and a weird feeling in his arms, he figured he was a heart attack. If it wasn't for the magic of emergency support. and some incredible clot busting medication... he wouldn't have made it, so he is feeling a little insecure of being in a country where he is not sure of the medical response. I am very hopeful that next year, we can celebrate in Jamaica...for me, I really miss not planning and looking forward to a trip. I am retiring in May, so at least I have that to look forward to!! Yipee.....thanks and believe me, if (when?) we go again, we will be ready!
