I've been to all three Merrills properties. Merrills II is by far the best of the three and the only one with a pool. I paid far standard garden and was upgraded tp the ocean front deluxe (Nice!). I didn't feel the drinks were watered down and I do enjoy my rom..LOL..You can't go wrong for the price. The food got a little boring after a week, but just stroll up or down the beach for a change of pace..Clean and Safe. I'll be staying at Negril Relax in Feb which is the old Merrills 3, also a good deal.
