    Well, poo!! White Sands is already fully booked for Feb

    Now I'm second guessing CC because of it's proximity to Margaritaville. And, I just discovered that the windows don't have glass or screens, just shutters. Not sure how I feel about that. Anyone who's been there have thoughts about that? Were bugs an issue in the room? Was it noisy? Was the room dark with the shutters closed?

    Ugh, I didn't think this decision was going to be so difficult. Couldn't possibly be because I'm being picky

    There is a reason we rebook WS a year in advance while we are there. We want to make sure we get the room we want!

    Correct no windows/screens but all windows have wood slats that can be closed. We leave those closed and run the A/C 24/7. Not very many bugs to be a bother. I'd prefer to leave the slats open for the breezes but the Mrs. has this thing about mosquitos, she really gets welts from bites so happy wife ....

    I don't find CC noisy, the worst time we had was from a crying baby next door. Margaritaville was usually quiet well before 9 pm when we were last there March 2020. Tree House next door has a fun bar to hang at compared to CC's bar which doesn't get many visitors. The room is dark with closed slats but there are plenty of lights in the room. Room prices at CC already include all fees and taxes which is a considerable value.

    Wait, February 2024? That's when we plan to visit so don't go to CC it's terrible, noisy and did I mention crying babies lol?

    Yeah, you're pretty late in the game to book a popular boutique hotel for Feb next year (One year, I waited a couple of weeks to book for the next year at WS and was forced to break up my trip into 2 locations since WS didn't have any rooms avail for the full time I requested). So looking into the available hotels online, I noticed Rondel still had rooms. Have you done any research there? I've met my share of tourists that luv going there (just ask Monty & Melo).

    I'll know next time LOL. I had no idea it was so popular. But then again, I've never looked at it before since we always just stay AI Yes, I have looked at Rondel. It just didn't give me the same warm fuzzies that the others did. But, I may look at it again...

    It's official! We're booked at Country Country for Feb 3-10 I'm excited (and a little nervous) about staying non-AI in Negril.

    Thank you to everyone for the helpful advice

    Hi, How was your stay at Country Country? I hope you enjoyed it! We are thinking about booking as well...we usually go to Treehouse and my favorite Catcha Falling Star....I would stay there every time and all the time except for the lack of beach.

    Well they still posted in this season's Roll Call, So I assume they didn't hate the suggestion? Besides, Delroy needed new blood from his usual surly crowd
