I had Godwin pick me up at Coral Seas and drop my stuff off at Negril Palms...I had made arrangements to leave my stuff, cuz i had 3 hours til check in...he then dropped me off at Bar B Barn..I hung out there until about 130, when He came back to pick us up...I had a group going to Red Dragon for cold beer and jerk pork Monday...

Groove, the exact same thing happened to us. We got caught in the rain and had never been that far, saw the thatch roof and ran for cover. We meet a nice group of folks from Texas who we were getting along with famously due to the fact hubby was wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat and we got as far as ordering a round of shots before security arrived. We apologized profusely and offered to obviously pay but were told we couldn't even do that. We sheepishly did the shots tipped the bartender and made our way to the next "public" hotel where we had the best Pina Colada's we have ever had(cant rem the name of the hotel to save my life but you have a shot of the deck in your pictures, too many subs that day maybe) Lesson learned.
