I am looking for some pearls of wisdom from my magnificent fellow boardies...

I have never been to Fun holiday, but there are SO MANY negative reviews, that the place scares me a bit .... The best thing about the place is there is a good pool, but I will remain loyal to Bar b Barn, that place has the best value of anywhere .....

Fun Holiday was real popular on here years ago when it was new.......and still has it's fans.........
but you hear some not so good things about the place nowadays on here........
like their overbooked and send you to another hotel...........
or they went AI and the food wasn't that good........
or the manager was suppose to take care of something and they never did etc etc.......

personally if your gang are not a fussy bunch......and if you don't go AI....
and you get a really good price....then I'd say go for it but beware..........

I think a place like Negril Beach Condos or one of the other less expensive resorts might be for you guys....

to go AI you really need to eat and drink a ton to make it worth your while as eating out there isn't that expensive....

been to Merrils and it's nuthin to write home about.......the food is bland and served buffet......
tiny plastic cups for drinks..........and that not so good Real Rock draft beer.........
but the location is super duper........and the rooms are nice and well maintained..........

gerryg - I've heard good things about BBBarn, but they don't post room rates on their website.

For future reference, can you give an idea what their room rates are low and high season.
I'm sure, like most of the locally owned hotels, repeat guests can work out a discount - but just wondering ballpark rates.
(I may get in a last minute trip before starting a new job)
