Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Apologize ahead of time, as it doesn't directly answer your question, but if I may throw in a suggestion. As I'm sure you know, White Sands is right next to Nirvana. A big secret that they have that not many people realize, is they have a beautiful apartment available. Close to the beach, they are equipped with a really nice large kitchen, living room area, spacious bedroom, terrace area, free wi fi, and cable TV. My friends stayed there last time and loved it. The beach has plenty of shade options, and as you also know, it has a great social bar.
Just wanted to throw it in as an option. You can visit there website, click on accomidations, and see pics.....Good Luck !!!
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Thanks for the suggestion Jojo.
We had considered White Sands, but the one bedroom apt comes in at over $1200 for the week, so not really saving much there compared to the Garden Studio at Nirvana.
Does this Treehouse deal sound too good to be true?

Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
I cannot answer that as I have never stayed there. I NEED to always stay on the sweet part of the beach, around Coco, White Sands, Idle Awhile, Nirvana !
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
May I spoke a bit slower season. We've been to Nirvana during the slow season, and as much as we LOVE Nirvana, our last stay we went with Idle Awhile. We did this based on the isolated feel we had while at Nirvana. Don't get me wrong, The Nivana beach can't be beat, but if you're looking to socialize......
A big issue we had with Treehouse was the close proximity to Margaritaville, and the noise from there.
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
rd9.....hey, whaagwaaan? ok...cool,,,We've stayed at Treehouse 5 or 6 times. Love the staff, the environment...the beautiful manicured grounds {bigg ups to David}. Food is good. wait a second! The breakfast {which is included in your stay} is really good. Made to order omellettes, french toast, waffles, franks & beans, brown-stewed chcken, ham, bacon, steamed callaloo {THE BEST IN NEGRIL!} acckee/saltfish, pastries, beverages etc. Beach area is plenty area for guests. Never heard the "loud" from Margarittaville. Yeah, it's a little bit from the "sweet spot" towards CCLP, but hey, it's worth the walk, and beyond. There's a managers party..whoop whoop. SUP. too. Stand up paddle board. Ask the instructor about John Deere farm equipment. So, anyhoo, there's a likkle bit about Treehouse. Never stayed at Nirvana ....good luck, respect, one love , irie
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
That suite at Treehouse is our beach home in Negril. I’ve heard only good about Nirvana but I highly recommend Treehouse!
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
JohnNYC, Idle Awhile does look amazing. I’m sure you enjoyed it. We have previously stayed at Swept Away and I think Issa family owns both? Similar styling and vibe. It is definitely out of our range of what we want to spend for this trip though. Some future trip maybe...
Your endorsements of Treehouse are so helpful rocknrollfarmer and Ras Walleye! Breakfast sounds delish...and love the idea of an on-site restaurant even if we only eat breakfast there.
Can anyone comment on the shade situation at Treehouse? Is it lacking or did you find it adequate?
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
We stayed at Treehouse this past August, the property is beautiful, the breakfast is amazing, can I say Amazing?! and its included! most of the staff were friendly, or rather when they knew you were friendly, they responded in kind. We had a fantastic time and would stay there again, just waiting for the Groupon ;)
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
The big advantage of Nirvana over Treehouse is the beach, but in May, I doubt Treehouse will be crowded and you should have no problem finding a good spot. If your budget ever allows, the Owner's Villa at Nirvana is the bomb.
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
I guess I never answered the question, we never had a problem with getting shade or sun, the security on the beach was terrific and if we didn't have chairs with an umbrella, they would get us one. Even with all the people being bused in, there was never a problem. We would fill up our ice buckets, bring our drinks down to the beach and just enjoy the ocean and people watching!

I was going to suggest the same thing Jojo. I think Mike, at WS, should give us a break for all the free advertising... lol

Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Ras Walleye & Mrs. - we will be at the Treehouse starting 12/21, I think I read in another thread you will be there too celebrating your anniversary ?
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Have you checked out the villas that are between Country Country and Margareittaville. My mind is drawing a blank on the name. We met some people last yr that let us check them out. We were staying at Country Country. They were nice.
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Crystal Waters is between Country Country and Margaritaville. Spacious suites, AND the housekeeper will cook breakfast and dinner for you. It's your kitchen, but she will shop for and prepare the meals you order. Very reasonable food costs. It feels like you are a guest in someone's Jamaican home. They prepare the evening meal, leave it on the stove to be eaten anytime. You may decide to go to Sunnyside and watch the sun go down, take a lazy stroll back up the beach, stop at Tony's Hut for one more, come back to your suite and have a delicious meal, while still in your bathing suit!! Talk about relaxing!
You will be given your own palapa at the beach for your entire stay.
Nehru is the owner, always around watching over things (he lives directly across the highway), an extremely well ran operation.
There is no bar on site, but, Treehouse is just two doors away, a great little mix and mingle bar/restaurant after the sun goes down.
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Crystal Waters is supposed to be great, I'd love to stay in the unit right on the beach. They are usually completely booked up when I've tried to get a cottage there. The only thing I don't like is the lack of natural shade and it's proximity to Margaritaville.
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Crystal Waters looks nice, but for the price I would rather return to Nirvana in the Garden Studio we saw last year.
I think we might be going with Treehouse. You all make it sound pretty good, thanks for all your input! And their price for our travel dates will be hard to beat...especially because it includes that yummy sounding breakfast...
sigh...soon come!

Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?

I'm guessing you haven't stayed in the Owner's Villa at Nirvana :)

This is the sunset view from the beach veranda at Nirvana. Same view as the owners villa. Both unbelievable and unbeatable. I could lay in bed and watch my wife in the surf too!
Re: Nirvana or Treehouse?
Yeah, tough to beat that front tier of rooms at Nirvana, nothing but trees, beach and water in front of you!
