Other places still have been trying to be reasonable. The wonderful world of inflation I guess...
Yeah, I hear ya. I expect it at places like Rick's or Margarittaville and frankly there you are paying for the amenities so you should expect to pay more. To some extent Treehouse has some amenities too but some places charging this aren't much more than a shack and a bar stool. Then again turn around and there's that million dollar view we all come down for so I guess it could be worse lol. I love Negril but the budget days are pretty much gone on the beach and the more places do that the more people they'll drive behind the walls to the all inclusives. It's no big deal for me because I like going to places like 87 Apples Lounge, Shellys Bar, Red Dragon, Colletes, Winners Plaza, Corner Bar, and thanks to Rob Rocky's, etc...where the prices are cheap but you aren't getting that view. For me the people have always been as important to my trips as the beach and I like socializing with locals away from the main tourist areas and really sometimes Negril altogether. Cheers, I'm Negril bound in four days.
