I too read the Negril Escape review and wouldn't put too much stock in it. OTOH, if you're expecting anything near American hotel amenities, you'd be really disappointed. Water pressure was almost non-existent when we were there, but they quickly managed to get it up to enough of a stream that you could comfortably wash. That was good for us, but for someone who wouldn't be happy without an actual spray, it would have been woefully deficient. That's sort of the difference in a nutshell. NE is pretty rough around the edges, but it's a beautiful setting, the people are friendly and it's a close walk to a lot of west end favorites.

I gather the OP has already decided on Westender, which is a place I'd like to try myself. But I wanted to add a few reassuring words about Negril Escape as we did really enjoy our stay there.
