The restaurant & bar have always been a contract operation, at least for the last 15 years or so. It was part of the hotel operation before the Wallace family took over the management. I was last there in Feb so my info is based on then. Yes, the beer is cheap & cold, daily drink specials offered too. I hope Tony is still there even when times slow. Good move on the part of the bar operators. Pool open but iffy, hot tub closed... palm tree droppings (seeds) have destroyed the pump. When/if it gets repaired in the future, it really needs to have a canopy cover to protect it. Not popular w/ visitors but necessary to keep it working & clean. Watch your step on the pool wooden deck area, too. Some spongy boards & watch for nails sticking out. Max is a nice addition to security... good to see a familiar, friendly face again. Yes, there is security night & day. If you don't see them it's because they are not in uniform, plain clothes. Beach chairs... same as mentioned above. They are NOT inexpensive, especially w/ shipping & duty to JA. I know... as my condo board's treasurer I've been working on buying new furniture (same as at Beach Club) for our pool/jacuzzi area. Prices vary... low $100's each (bulk) to almost $200 each. I finally get a best price @ the local Lowe's... $50 each. Even at that price probably double that, minimum in Jamaica. Looking forward to an update.
