Dear PACKRAT, Sorry I just saw this post. My family and I stayed at Seasplash for over 2 weeks in April. It was fantastic. They have made some serious upgrades that show the commitment to keeping the property in good condition - most notably they spent a lot of money to replace the badly worn thatching on the roofs over the bar and Norma's. They replaced it with a nice zinc roof (looks like spanish clay tile) which is used a lot and which has put a stop to the leaking every time it rains!
they have also redone all the rooms with fresh white paint and new white cotton slip covers on the furnishing and sheer white drapes on all the windows. How do Jamaican's get things SO WHITE?? The rooms are beautiful as always - can't beat their 1BR suite for space, including the spacious patio.
We did absolutely nothing on our trip. We just sat at the pool, at the bar, on the beach, at the restaurant, then REWIND, DO IT AGAIN and let them wait on us. Treated like rock stars there, which is just what we needed. The food at Norma's is good as always, and the chefs are alway happy to try something special for guests with a little notice. Of course, we start most morning with breakfast at Treehouse next door - our favorite place as they have a great buffet that keep us all day till dinner (except for perhaps reheating leftovers or having fruit from our kitchen, or a patty next door at Chill Corner (Leo and Johnny's place).
The hottub was the only thing not working. Pool leak of years past has been long fixed and it was in great shape, super clean, the whole trip.
I'm happy to answer any other questions. btw they hauled out a gas grill to the area over looking the beach and did great a great job grilling lunch one day. Though this year I had my first taste (how can that be?) of Alain's (sp?) chicken AND pork at treehouse (the chef who grills outside, near the bar) and I am now a huge fan - both were delicious and we went back a few times for that!)
By the way make sure and email or call Seasplash and ask for Lydney Gordon, the manager. Real nice guy, good manager, and he will set you up with best rates.
Have a great time!
