Thank you ALL for every opinion, option, etc. I have made up my mind (finally!!!) and am going with IAW.
Since it is my first time travelling solo since I kicked the bum out, and being my first time at a non AI, I think I will feel more in my comfort zone at IAW.
That being said.... WS will be on my list for next years trip once my divorce money runs out and I can't afford $200 a night on a hotel. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Will most def be making my way to the bar there during my trip. If anyone is there May 19-26 stop by and I will buy you a drink!!!
Thanks again ALL OF YOU!!!!
Great choice! You'll love it.
Ask Needle, the bartender, to make you a frozen mango colata. You'll love it!
Yeah, the first couple of times in Negril, I stayed at the Negril Beach Club Condos by myself and ate most meals onsite at Linguah By the Sea and then stayed at the AI, GrandPineapple (which actually woudn't be a bad idea for you, since it's small and intimate), so I understand what you're thinking. Staying at the GP opened my eyes though to what's available on the beach because it was next door to Alfreds, which had much better night life than the GP and started my way to exploring. After doing some checking, you can get into GP in May for $144/night on expedia on their beachside and get all your meals and booze included (they have great security too). Plus, it's next door to Alfreds, to start some exploring of your own... food for though....
Well dang it...there goes my commission......hahahahaha !!! Have a great time, and you will discover as most of us have, once you go non AI, you never go back !!!!
I loved Grand Pineapple for my first solo stay, and second!
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion
Enjoy!!
