Old Bar-B-Barn
Bar B Barn is where I stayed on my first solo trip to Negril.
Circa 1998.
That was back when I called 1-800-Jamaica.
Received my vouchers in the mail.
1 for flight, 1 for transport to Negril and 1 for the Hotel.
Then , right across the road, Morass side, I stayed at the Coral Seas Garden for the next 10 years or so.
after 4 or 5 years, Ricky and the crew told me I was no longer a tourist.
"you are a local now. You can pay local rates!
So my trips stretched from 6 days to 9-10 days!
But, BBB was my beach hangout.
Someone took over Bar B Barn a while back.
Also, next door on the beach was Mom's Place.
Cool little hotel and restaurant. Can't wait to see what's open and running.

Re: Old Bar-B-Barn
My swiss friend Yves and I were walking down the beach being accosted as usual and came across Bar b Barn. We stopped in our tracks, stepping over hard bodies everywhere.
Yves say, “we stay here”
Ok.
We went back to our hotel and packed up, moved to Barb b barn. Spent the next three days in visual heaven. Nice plain rooms with window ac’s as i remember. Then as abruptly as we arrived, the place emptied out, like Widener College called all back to class. I laughed my ass off and said to Yves lets pack up and go back down the beach.
