Trip report - March 2018

[RonMon]

"Dinner was at Best in The West. The service was excellent and the chicken was okay. A little dried out. The downer of the meal was that one of the ladies that served us then launched into a spiel on the Royalton and the time share options and will we go for an information sessions. It was not pressure packed but still not welcome. The Royalton also has people walking the beach trying the same thing. It is a shame that a company with Canadian roots is doing business in this manner, not to mention the Elephants Ass of a building they have put up"

I cannot believe she is still there doing this! She ruined our meal last July by being so forceful that she actually sat down at our table trying to convince us to visit Royalton. We gave her all the typical, thanks, no thanks, we Negril vets, etc. etc, she wouldn't stop. Finally Da Boss Lady told her she was being very rude and ruining our meal that we had looked forward to, she finally left. This last trip we saw her still there and we just walked right by, we won't go back and be harrassed again. I actually told this story a couple times here and on Facebook boards, someone said the owner should be told. I assume she does to about everyone and he has been told. Who knows, its a shame she is still at it.

I really appreciate you sharing your visit. I can tell you two had pleasant, relaxing time. I agree with others about being grateful for the details. I was very interested in checking out Somewhere West, but $21.00 for a Mojito 2 Chicken Tacos and a Red Stripe sounds a little high. Did you received large portions??

The Mojitos were $5.00 as were the Tacos. It is not the cheapest place around but when you factor in the free ride and the absolute beauty of the place it was well worth the money. The Tacos are not huge but they are really, really good. We would definitely go back again if we got the chance.

It is also possible that I did not write down the right cost, or the number of beers consumed, as I had a chocolate chip cookie that may have altered my perspective that afternoon!
