Wow, if that is the new royalton , I am shocked by the size. I have stayed at grand lido a few times when they had $100 a night specials way back when and thought it was tacky but great location.....always said would be great place for luxury resort.....but this?? Wasn't enough room on beach back then, where they all gonna go now? Only hope Govt Mule plays this place some year.....fill that place up with heads and hang on!
Concrete jungle.
Thought they were or are going to do this ???![]()
Hey SS,
wonder what a hurricane would do to those situated "in" the water.
They do look nice though.
Oh sooooo many great memories stay at GLN![]()

I tend to think that the high-rise All Inclusives will attract tourists as well as people eager to prey on them. It may turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy that Negril will be the "unsafe" place to venture off the properties for them as their owners warn and thus more unsafe for the majority of board readers who return each year to the smaller, family run accommodations.
Just my opinion but I would never go to anyplace that required me to be easily identified as a guest such as a bracelet, shirt, etc.
As a friend says, "A beggar with a bag of money is safer than a man in a suit with a dollar in his pocket"
Peace and Guidance

According to the web site, they plan on an opening date of February 4th, 2017. $561USD / night is the cheapest room. Rutland Point will never be the same.

For about $561US I can rent a room or even a small house for a month in Jamaica. What view, mint on my pillow or sheet turndown can better that?
Even if I had that kind of money I would consider paying the school fees for poor children for a school year and to offset that amount I would just stay one less night.
