Beach or cliffs ... a discussion

[captaind]

Last May I arranged a trip for several Masonic Brothers of my Lodge to visit Jamaica and the Lodge in Sav

They ate at Tensing Pen and slept at the Palms. (Thank you to the management of both)

Last night two of them were discussing returning with their wives for a week. One wanted to stay at the Palms on the beach and another wanted to stay at Tensing Pen.

I felt great that they wanted to return and the beach vs cliffs discussion gave a warm glow

Do it right and split the trip! Half beach and half cliffs! Best of both worlds!

Yamon'...we've done the split before. It works. Good to experience both environments. We are doing the splits again January! {grin}

ya.....tell my wife that

[rocknrollfarmer]

Truth tellin'....my wife really prefers THE BEACH! I'm assuming that's where you were going with your comment.....

Samsara on the cliffs and Legends on the beach can give you the best of both with their sharing and shuttles. Just saying.

My wife hates moving once we get settled in, so doing a split stay is a no-go. We are confirmed cliff dwellers, but have no problem getting to the beach whenever we want. Like Carrie said, we enjoy staying at the Mirage on the cliffs and take advantage of their free transportation to their sister resort, Charela on the beach. In addition, Mirage throws in a $25 voucher (per person) for use at the Charela restaurant and bar.

Capt. it's great that your Brothers' interest in Negril has been piqued. If they stayed on the beach the first time, why not give the cliffs a try? Tensing Pen is a beautiful property and a great location for exploring the cliffs.

We did a split trip last year and ended up at the beach every day. We were with our 6 year old, so the beach was better suited for us. This year we will be back and staying only at the beach (Palms). We certainly will go to the other side for several meals, etc.

I think it's a simple as whether you are comfortable hanging out at your hotel on the cliffs. We tend to want to move around so that wasn't ideal for us.

Well simple. One couple stays on the beach one on the cliffs. Visit, best both have to offer.

We have done the split the last few years, and it works best for us. 5 days on the cliffs and 7 on the beach. Because we stay at Samsara, we can shuttle to Legends for a beach day if windy weather doesn't allow the use of jumping platforms on the cliffs. Of course, the pool is a nice backup plan as well.
Love getting fruit and patties on the beach for lunch etc. but also love having LTU, Xtabi, Ciao, Pablo's and Peewee's close by for lunch while on the cliffs.
It's a win-win situation!
