I just watched a drone video of Negril beach and noticed T-Water has been demolished. Does anyone know if it will be rebuilt or who has purchased it? We use to stay there and loved it. Thank you

That property is in too good a location to just let it rot. Are there issues of who owns it, taxes, etc.? Or has someone bought it? We stayed there 5 times in the 1990s...many happy memories there. I wonder where some of the staff are now -- I know Lionel passed a while back, but some of the others we knew were Joy Cooper and Mr. Grant (security), Miz Bea (breakfast), Spike (last I heard he had a bar in Sav), Paul (bartender). Wayne Sharp (chef for one year, and a terrific one, too).Quote:

Getting all wistful now and wishing I could go back in time...
T-Water has been demolished. There were many legal issues involved before the property could switch hands. This contributed to the continual decay of the old property, but that is now resolved!
Look for some great things to happen, another incredible boutique hotel!
More information soon come!
HOORAY!!!! Please keep us posted, Rob! Thanks. :)
great memory playing chess with Lionel on solo trips. think he let me win once in a while so i would keep playing. gosh i wish i was in my 20's again

that man always had the dogs following him home on the beach.
Every hotel seemed to have a designated guy -- one guy who had permission to take care of the guests on that front. I didn't have the radar to tell who it was, but hoo-boy, my husband sure did. I think his record was 20 minutes to find the designated guy.Quote:

Wow....he is still alive? That's awesome. I can't believe that my husband has already gone to the Great Beyond, but Lloyd is still around. I'm tentatively planning to go to SATP this fall, but if I find myself down that way I will definitely go try to find him and say hello. He won't remember me; the only thing that made me memorable was that my husband was over a foot taller than I am. Unless I wear my Kliban cat T-shirt, which seemed to be memorable down there for some reason. It has this image on it.Quote:

hackwriter, you might be surprised. We stayed at T Water in the late 80's and early 90's when we first met Lloyd. We saw him last year and he remembered us. He brought it up first. It was nice talking to him after all these years.
Wow, that's cool. I'm going to Negril in October to bury/scatter my late husband's ashes. Staying at SATP but might take a taxi trip down that way one day while there.Quote:
