Travelers Beach Resort

[SVW]

We've stayed many places in Negril. Sandals, White Sands, Beaches, Grand Pineapple & 1 time on cliffs at Seastar. Most our trips have been at GP but I've been looking at Travelers & it looks pretty nice. Sometimes the food at GP gets a bit boring but we've always had a nice stay there & felt safe. I like the fact that the pool at Travelers is actually ocean side where you can see the water from the pool rather on garden side like GP. Can anyone who has stayed at both give me their opinion as to one over the other? Thanks.

Just a fyi...the pool at Travellers has recently been renovated and it's gorgeous...but you cannot see the sea from the pool other than a slightly angular view from a few spots on one side of the pool and decking.

We stayed at Travellers the last two years. Once in a standard room, and the 2nd time in one of the bungalows. The standard room is nothing special, but it did have good AC, and was roomy and very clean. I liked the bungalow better. We stayed in one with a kitchenette, only so we could have a fridge and coffee maker. Nice to be able to sit on the porch and watch the people walk by. The security there is wonderful! They really do go the extra mile for you, and if we were coming back this year I'd stay again, but we're finally going to Port Antonio. It is further down the beach, but we always liked walking the beach and you are close to town. The owner is a sweet man, and is always around. I like the fact that they do so much for the community also. Never stayed at GP, so I can't offer my opinion.

Have stayed at Travelers and enjoyed the stay. The family and staff are excellent and as stated the security if as good as it gets on the beach. You cannot see the sea from the amazing pool though. The only negative for me about Travelers is they don't have much of a beach area and when the river backwashes out the water turns a stained brown. It can be kind of a buzz kill on a perfect day when it happens. Most leave the water and it kind of puts a stop to things.

Thanks for being honest about that RonMon. About how often does that happen? Doesn't sound too good. That's one thing we've always loved about GP the beach is really beautiful right there. White Sands has a nice beach area too.

It is a bit random, but both times we were there it was most days of the week. We were there once in July and once in September. I hate to say it, but it is true and it is a vibe killer!

Thanks Bnewb. I could deal with that. The pool looks beautiful!

The river darkens during heavy rains from the red ground mud...it blends into the sea after these rains and travels along the beach front water until it eventually dissipates.

I used to have some good pics of it, I am sure someone does?? It is actually pretty creepy looking to watch as it crawls down the beach. Coral Seas really gets it bad!

Ya...definitely not the pretty sea turquoise, RonMon...even worse usually up by the HiLo when it happens.
