And don't forget ............... Rockhouse, as many many resorts in Negril, charge an additional 10% Jamaican Government Tax AND a additional 10% service charge on top of the room charges. Plus there can be a daily Room Tax A few resorts include some or all of these charges in their rates. Read the fine print ! !
The "service charge" at many resorts is used to tip the backroom operation staff who do not get to interface with resort guest and receive tips for good service. These backroom employees include but are not limited to gardeners, dish washers, maintenance personnel, laundry personnel, etc.....
Good point Captain. The 10% Service Charge goes, as you said, to all the staff at Rockhouse. It is divided among everyone who works there. Any tip you leave above the 10% Service Charge goes directly to the specific server being tipped.
The Villa prices are quite a bit higher than the number you have there. They are cheaper in the fall than what we paid recently though.
By "Play a game for chairs" I meant that with our Villa at Rockhouse there were chairs set aside specifically for our use. Each Villa comes with adirondack chairs on the villa porch and also two lounge chairs under an umbrella on the cliff's edge. So in asking about the chairs I am trying to find out if the other places similar to Rockhouse also have specific chairs for the guests in each unit or if you have to look around and find chairs you like, and perhaps get there early to get good locations. I like the way Rockhouse does it with their villas.
Oh. Thanks. This is interesting. I now understand...you didn't have to play the game at Rockhouse because you had dedicated chairs. Nice.Originally Posted by RoyinNC

Do you think that means the cheap rooms dont have access to the umbrella / chairs at cliffs edge? Is there a separate sunning area? Sorry for the questions. I dont want to book a room then realize I can't sit on the cliff and get sun. And if that's the case, I'll book a villa.
Thanks

There are a number of chairs with umbrellas along the cliff edge that are available to folks who are not staying in a villa, in addition there are a good number of chairs around the pool (also basically on the cliff edge), and a large sun deck area with plenty of chairs. It looked to me like even if you were not staying in a villa there would be plenty of good places to get some sun at Rockhouse, but it might be a different place every day.
Best overall value on the Cliffs IMHO is Citronella... Where I will be a week from tomorrow!!!! Yes it's rustic, no there is not a bar, what you do get is privacy, relaxation, yummy breakfast and wonderful dinners if you request in the morning.
Tensing is Great too... More luxury less privacy
