Seastar or Catcha

Good Morning All!!!!! Decisions, decisions....we are ready to book or vacation for July (yeah!!!) and this year we thought we'd do a split (never done that before) I like the cliffs but hubby likes the action of the beach so we are doing Grand Pineapple for the beach half (2nd half) and I am wondering if any of you have thoughts or advice...Catcha (we stayed there 2 years ago and LOVED IT, BEST VACATION WE EVER HAD) but I thought we'd try something new and stay at Seastar. Was that the longest run-on sentence ever!!!??? What do you guys think? Catcha or Seastar? Thanks in advance!!!! i love all of your postings, I've learned soooo much! :o

Do you mean Catcha Falling Star or Catcha Falling Star Gardens?

Catcha Falling Star - we stayed in moon but this year we were looking to stay in one of the newer rooms

If money is no object... Then I dont think there is any comparison. Granted, I havent stayed at either place, but I have been to both a few times. Catcha is world class in my opinion, as far as the view and the grounds and the sunning areas etc. You can walk to Seastar anytime any day, but catcha only lets you in after 5.

yep. Totally different properties. Haven't stayed at Seastar but I also haven't heard anything but great things about it. Catcha is top notch imo, and really can't be beat. (I stayed in Moon also)

Where are you staying next week Tiz?

Are you willing to give up the sea view? To me that would be the question.

I guess I would be willing to give up the view if Seastar compared with other things...bigger pool, pool bar, free shuttle to different places. It seems Seastar has more to offer. Hey Tizzy - didn't you love Moon? When I saw it for the first time I thought I was gonna burst! I loved the porch & hammock, the day beds...loved everything about it.

Hard for me to give up that sea view. I'd stay at Catcha, and hit seastar at happy hour.
Its just down the road.

Or a Daybed :)

I've stayed at both and they are very different experiences , that being said I prefer Catcha mostly because of the view and the food.

Catcha'

I would never stay anywhere but Seastar.
It offers the best value for money in Negril. Huge rooms, a great restaurant, wonderful people, gorgeous landscaping,fab pool and swim up bar, generous owners, free beach transfers, free breakfast, wi fi, guest computer, multi channel cable t.v., powerful air conditioning, hammocks on every balcony or terrace. How's that for a run on sentence.

Chris who's been there for more than 25 years and Francine who has lived there all her life are part of the town and give back to the community every chance they get, from paving Seastar Lane to providing the neighbors on the lane with trash enclosures not to mention having the local kids in for a swim once in a while.

Security is strong people watch your back and I'd just rather give my money to them than a guy from Boston.

Just my opinion of course and nothing against Catcha or Harry for that matter.

With money not being considered....Catcha for sure. With that said, Seastar is really a good bang for the buck...so to say. There is NOTHING better than being cliffside on the wata. Nothing........If I had the bucks...I would definitely be on the water. Irregardless of your decision, the west end rocks! Enjoy to the max.

jesswade, we got back 3 weeks ago, did Seastar, then Grand Pineapple....and it was divine....walked across street to Tensing Pen, and actually spent one of our days there..you might find Seastar hard to book

they are both great places,you should try both of them.(while i suffer here at home!)Attachment 25776

pwj155 - great pic!!!!!! I am soooo jealous! Big Frank, thats exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Chigirl - isn't the food amazing!? This sounds funny, with everything else they have, but I love the coleslaw - I tried to replicate it at home with no luck....every meal we had there was delish! We never made it to breakfast, too jacked from the night before! Lispat, we've never split a trip before, kinda nervous about it...i'm glad to hear you've done the same trip. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas!

Catcha!!! I gotta have that sea view!! No comparison in my book.
