Thanks for all your input folks. I think we will book both ways.

Something to consider if you are staying at Couples Negril or Swept Away:
If you use Club Mobay for arrival, but the Couples courtesy shuttle doesn't leave Sangster until everyone on their passenger roster has made it through the long lines, then what exactly have you saved? Friends of ours had this happen last year, and say that they won't pay for Club Mobay again. Yes, the Couples Lounge at Sangster is much more comfortable than standing in line, but Club Mobay doesn't get you to the hotel any faster. It probably works like a charm if you are catching a taxi from the airport.
My two cents...
The Couples shuttle does not wait for a list of people. They go every 20 minutes, plus or minus, regardless of how many people are there. I've been to CSA 22 times and never waited in the Couples lounge for more than 20 minutes.Originally Posted by Cornell

Hey Chris! Seems as though I agree with Ricky too since Lisa and I just paid for Club MoBay yesterday, lol.
In my post I was referring to Larry and Marie, who told me they doubted they'd pay for Club Mobay this year because the Couples shuttle waited so long last April.
Either way, I'd rather be in a lounge than in a customs or immigration line!
Cornell, mi frien'!!!
The Empress and I will be sure to save some rays and rum for you and Lisa... don't keep us waiting though... my largesse is only so great, and a man can develop a powerful thirst under that sun. See you in a couple of weeks!
Sounds good - we'll make haste and get there asap! Got our Club Mobay "arrival" confirmations. 15 days and counting for Lisa and I, so close we can already taste the Almond Joys
Above is one of the many many reasons we don't stay AI. .... Used Club MoBay for the first time for our Feb trip both ways and will do the same in the future. Lines were not bad when we arrived ... Probably 30 min to an hour total but with no checked bags we were through in about 10 minutes!! Chilled in the lounge until Kingsley was ready to roll to Negril!! Departure didn't add much cost so why not for all you can eat patties!!
Used it for both arrival and departure and it was the best money spent in our three week vacation. Arrived at 2 p.m. with several other flights at the same time and was out of the airport in our taxi within 20 minutes, and that was taking the time to change into our shorts and such and grabbed a quick bite in the Mobay lounge while they located our driver for us!! Leaving on a Saturday, at least on March 14th when we flew home, the line up for immigration/security went from one end of the airport to the other and back again, but we dropped off our bags with WestJet and were fast tracked from there and were sitting in the Club Mobay lounge having cold beers, dirty bananas and snacking on patties, soups and slider sandwiches within 20 minutes again. Will never do anything but again!!!! Club Mobay all the way says mi!!!

We've used it for departures every trip. Since we usually schedule inbound to Mobay for Wed. mornings we always beat our bags to the luggage carousels. For departures it's nice. Less stress going through security (shorter lines) and having a nice place to chill before the flight. Foods ok but the chips and snacks you can grab for the flight home are a big plus. Plus it's less hectic than the terminal so you keep the reality that you're heading back to at bay for a few more minutes. Lesson learned, departing Feb thru Apr. book well in advance.
I always use it for arrival...worth it to me. For departure...I wait til I get to the airport...lounge isn't so important at skipping a long line for security.
