Gerry, the number two selling point for Charela is that they have simply the best stretch of beach. Consistently wide and clean with a great mix of young and mature trees for optimum shade. Number one would be pure style points. The grace and elegance that is attempted at a place like the RIU naturally exists here without stuffiness or pretense. We haven't stayed here in awhile partly because of the price. A comparable quality beach hotel at a slightly lower price is Negril Treehouse. The breakfast buffet alone is reason to stay there. I think the rack rates are similar but Gail advertises specials here on the board and is a charitable and creative hotelier. The ocean front suites at treehouse rock! The main reason is that after years of being a confirmed beach girl, Donna has succumbed to the peace and tranquility of the cliffs and the Blue Cave Castle.

Breakfast beckons (or would that be bacons...?)

Bless,
Ed
