    Royalton Hotel

    Does anyone know how many rooms this place will have ? I have heard up to 800 rooms but don't know for sure.Are any expansions being made to the current sewage plant ? And also wonder about the water shortage and are they doing anything to fix that infrastructure ? Been wondering about these issues since this monster has been going up.Any info would be appreciated.

    It is a behemoth of a place.
    Took five minutes just to drive past it.
    Good questions.
    Hope all is being addressed with the ecology of the island in mind.

    Sensatori is adding a bunch of rooms also. Short sighted development will ruin Negril. The infrastructure can't adequately handle the load as it is. Add another 1000 or more rooms and it will just make things worse. But as long as the proper palms get greased I guess that's all that matters.

    With whats occurred, I really doubt that Royalton will be anything at all, other than a pile of rubble and a book of violations.

    Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, will inevitably come to pass.

    If it took 5 minutes to drive by the Royalton resort, you were driving REALLY slow!

    ???? Its a business enterprise, not a disgraced celebrity.

    The sewage system was upgraded a few years ago. If more is needed they will address it according to the need, not in anticipation of uncertain need.

    Some will embrace this new development with open arms...
    & others ( like myself ) share a " paved paradise & put up a parking lot " mentality
    to each his or her own .. do I long for the old Bloody Bay ..yes
    do I see the impact that this ..will have on the local economy ..$$$$ yes

    double edged sword - no doubt

    Well with all the expansion I question the sewage plant handling it.Think about 700 toilets flushing and showers.I want to swim in brown water said no one ever.I can't see the water shortage improving on the west end either.Having travelled to Negril for decades and watching it grow I don't believe the infrastructure has kept up with the growth.Just my humble opinion,
