Seasplash, need upate

[HarryS]

This is one of my favorite spots on the beach, my wife and an almost daily stop for a rum punch or three.. Don't remember the bartenders name, but she seemed friendly and I enjoyed talking with her. The snapper sandwich at the bar was pretty good, and have also eaten at Normas for dinner and enjoyed it. I usually end up buying a couple patties from the patty mon while sitting here, he always seemed to go by during happy hour.

We haven't stayed there, but it is high on my list... When we've been there, typically in either September or April, it seems like there's no one staying there, but that seemed to be the case at a lot of hotels during those times of year. I will keep an eye on this thread to see what people who are there now are saying, and what the hotel guest experience is like.

Been reading this and made me so worried I canceled my reservation at Sea Splash. How soon was anyone going to post pictures of the resort? Would still really like to stay there if there truly aren't any problems. Need some info pretty quick, as we are going in February and everything is filling up.

We stayed at Seasplash this past May and thought it was a very nice!. The management and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Food was good, drinks were plentiful, everything was clean. We always had water and electricity always worked. But yeah, there was a tarp on part of the roof. I would have no hesitation to stay there again. I posted a trip report some time ago where I discussed our stay at Seasplash. Here's a few pictures taken during our visit.

My problems were mostly last year in Dec. We were bringing my brother and his wife for their first time to Jamaica and booked a pkg that was supposed to include transportation. They told us which desk to go to at the airport, then when we arrived the airport desk said that they didn't pay their bill so no ride. We had to find and pay our own ride to the resort when it was supposed to be included. We had reserved 2 of the one bedroom suites and they put us in the 2 over the office which were really crummy and I think were used by mgmt and old owner Jim. We complained and they moved us after 2 days because they were painting the other suites and we had to wait for them to get done (If you know you have customers arriving either do the painting before or after don't put them in the worst rooms). Also the full breakfast that was supposed to be included. They didn't have any meat the whole week we were there and 2 days no eggs. I also noticed that a lot of the downstairs ground level room's doors looked like they had been jimmied with a crowbar and would be able to be easily gotten into. Needless to say brother and his wife didn't have a great first impression of Jamaica.
To be fair we had stayed the year before in the same suites and it was great.

FYI Jim lived in room 1 downstairs by the pool.

Thanks justchuck! You put my mind at ease! Guess I'll be making another reservation.

Just make sure to ask about the power situation, KRISTILEE! If they are back on the generator, I would be concerned.

Charlie stayed there about a month ago for a few nights and said he got a good deal, like 99 dollars for a beach view room, No. 6 I think. I always stay at Seastar Inn but usually visit Seasplash every day cause I like to be picked up there for snorkeling.

Several trips ago, when Jim was there, I had the worst meal in my Negril history. But the bartenders are always nice, and there aren't too many hustlers there. It is where I forged a friendship with Rasta Dave, one of the more popular tourist-serving rastas on the beach.

We met Rasta Dave our first time there, he is a great guy. When we were there last year they said he was no longer there. Is he back? Would love to see him

Dave's not here man.....

You can find Dave at most of the bigger shows. Ran into him a few times at Roots over the past couple weeks.
