short reviews of coral seas, negril palms, travelors and legends/from april trip

[groove16]

next up was Travelors...moved there to hang with some friends...a great review done by flip in another post...

not really much to add...the wellington boys were great...I think I met Winston and Winfred...not sure...they gave me a free transport to the soup kitchen one morning to help witht he school kids...

huge pool, waterfall, swim up bar...good food....great karaoke singers...nail salon on site for the ladys...in our past trips, there was not much beach, but this trip it was biggest i think i have seen...i had one of the older rooms, which they are in the middle of remodeling all of them...still a nice room...

i would definately stay here again...

to finish my thoughts on accomadations, I will list all of my stops...

sept 2009---20th anniversary trip--about 10 days--great deal on grand pineapple--havent seen a deal like this since....what not to like at the Grand Pineapple...just not in my budget..

late oct/ealy nov 2010---about 12 days----Mariners at NBCC----loved the beach---hotel older, needs repairs, not as much security from beachside, would prob stay at nbcc not at mariners again,....we did pack a overnight bag and stayed at blue cave castle for one night to try out the cliffs...but 2 for 1 rum punch at canoe and no food led to the worst night that i can remember...to this day, i still cant drink the overproof...so not much info on bcc...

sept 2012 13 days....1 night at bourbon beach---kevin made us a great deal....60 bucks with food and drink vouchers...i would stay there again if the price was right, but only a cant miss deal....a little too much activity with no ammenities to pay full price..
we did a beach/cliff/beach spilt...legends for a few nights, catcha falling star for 3 nights, and legends to end the trip---already reviewed legends....we choose catcha because rooms were half price due to constuction of the new rooms...so we got gemini for our 70 dollar a night price range....catcha is breath taking...beautiful...but it is quiet and if u dont have the right crowd there, it gets boring to me...1st 2 days, had the property to ourselves, and i was ready leave...finally some freinds moved in on the 3rd day, and it was a blast...

april 2013---our first boardie bash---3 days fun holiday, 6 days white sands, 5 days shields, 3 days catcha to end our trip with friends..we were to unwind here to go home...missed the beach so much, when our friends left, we extended 4 days at bar b barn to get our fix in...


out of all these places....they are pretty much all the same....some have this, some have that...but not one is worth 30 dollars a night more than the other...meaning, i look for a price range..this trip we got all our for 63 or less, some including breakfast....as much as we like legends, if we didnt do a/i and they wanted 80, we would stay at travelors for 60...hope that makes sense....our 2nd favorite place has been bar b barn...but they didnt work us a deal, so we didnt stay there....we talked to them while we were there, cause we hang there alot, and they should work with us next time....

all those mentioned...legends, bar b barn, and travelors have been our 3 favorites with everything considered...and coral seas gardens would be there on top of them all if it was beachside...still the best deal we have ever got...

My husband and me are planning a Negril trip in Nov of this year, we've been to Negril 5 times and have stayed at Sam Sara 4 times and T-Water once, we're on a budget this time so trying to decide where to stay, it's between Negril Palms and Travellers some bad reviews for both, we're down to earth people just want a clean place to lay our heads after busy fun days....could I get a update please.
