Xtabi is an X for me

Lets start with I love Negril.com and read it daily as for the most part love it! On the other hand there are things you can't say or do here or on Trip advisor. You will not make many friends here by posting anything negative about the favored restaurants, bars or resorts. People in general have strong feelings about the places they love and if you say anything other than they are perfect you will lose. It is why I do not post a lot. We have made 20 plus trips to Negril and have had good and bad experiences at many places, I for one think anyone deserves a second chance and even when I have had a bad experience I have given said place a second chance sometimes it works out sometimes it does not. When I have posted positive reviews all is well but post something negative and you are now longer on the friends list. There are 3 places I could care less if I ever go back to unless it is just be part of the crowd and hang out with friends that like the place and we go there just for them. All 3 are potbelly rated in the top 5 places to eat for 90 percent of the people that frequent this forum or trip advisor.

For me I am glad you posted your review as I think people need to read both the good reviews and the bad reviews and then have the chance to make up there own mind what they will do. Whenever i read reviews of a place I don't even consider the best reviews or the worst reviews, so many of the best are fake and so many of the worst are sour grapes about something that may or may not have even mentioned.

I run a retail business and know what good customer service is. As for the people on the pub crawl not much could have been done about that so long as the people we not being rude or vulgar. If they were just drinking and having fun that is just part of the restaurant bar scene. As far as the Line for the credit card being down this is a easy fix. There surely was someone there that had a cell phone, On all credit card machines there is a help number that you can call for an authorization for times just like this. If no one at the place could do this bad on them for lack of training on how it could be done with no internet or land line phone service.

We have eaten at Xtabi several times and like it there.

I probably would've come-up with same list, or something very close. You're the first person I found that likes Jamaica Style as much as I do. I just think they don't get enough publicity as they are not on TA.

And I know it's sacrilege to say it around here, but I didn't really care for the food at SearStar that much. We should give them another try, but my wife isn't in any rush to go back.

Thank you Living the Dream, time for some perspective. We have been going to Xtabi for many years and love it. Not every experience is going to be positive but that dosen't mean that it is all bad. I sure can't get too upset about people drinking, having fun and cliff jumping. That is what Negril and Xtabi is all about, isn't it? Chill.

Misti wasn't upset about that, just that they were ignored while the crawl was there. I think she was most upset about the hoops she had to go through to pay and was treated like a criminal.

Timm, you'll have to take Bentley's off your must try list.

Yet you felt the need to tell how they apologized for "ruining your evening". I quote:
Unfortunately our romantic table was in between them and the view of their friends jumping so they just rolled over us. Later they apologized for ruining our evening . I was to learn that they were on Linfields famous Pub crawl, so I told them I understood.

The lady came over on her own and said that, we as a matter of fact had been laughing, taking pictures and enjoying the stuff with them. I guess she just thought that they had invaded, but nope not the case, and I will not let you split hairs with me to avoid the major issue.. Interesting that you are still reading and commenting though you asked ME to JUST STOP...LOL so transparent.

I sure would like to know who you are and why whenever I come on here, which is not that often, you seem to have some special ax to grind.
