Misleading Thread - Negril Beach Club Resort & Negril Beach Club Condos

[luvjabd]

When you book in Negril during high season, especially through a third party discounter it couldn't hurt to make phone calls directly to the hotel to ensure you have what you want coming to you.

I did phone, 1 week prior to my arrival and was told everything was ok.

Rob, you keep using the name Mariners, but as mentioned this name is no where on my reservation. Just to be clear folks - I am not confused, I am not new to Negril and I knew where I was going and the difference between Jean and "the other side" but still....

Thanks Booger, you seem to understand my pov.

Funny, many of the locals refer to it all as Beach Club(period)!

My last word on this - if they are 'truly' seperate entities, than seperate them already!

Let's say, god forbid, you reserve a room with Jean at the Negril Beach Club Condos, but it turns out there is an overbooking or for some other reason you can't check in to a room. Does NBCC grant you a room at Negril Beach Club RESORT right down the hall which has, say, TEN rooms available, or does NBCC transfer you to an entirely different hotel while ignoring the availability of rooms at Negril Beach Club Resort?

If they bump you to a different hotel, then you have a point, Rob. If NBCC bumps you to NBCR/Mariner's, then something smells like fish ....

Booger...Jane's persistance??
Actually, it was me that had to fix it and I don't think Jane would mind me telling you that...since we were all very frustrated. And, in the case of Catcha...they had the advantage of having the same owner...but it still took over a year to resolve it.
In the case of NBCC & Mariners/NBCR...these are completely separate entities...verification has to come from both parties...unlike Catcha with the same owner. It took Catcha a year to resolve it...I wonder how long poor Jean would have to deal with this? If she was actually able to do anything at all? And, that is just for ONE website!!

I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying Bnewb.

I said it once, I'll say it again.....my reservation did NOT say Mariners so why should I say Mariners bumped me?
Most people, especially newbies, dont know that Jean has a seperate side/business so in all fairness, the title of the thread should remain the same and is not incorrect nor misleading.

Think about this...I cant run Joe Schmoe Beach Resort but list it online as Riu or The Caves now can I? so let me ask you all this....how is it that IF it is actually a seperate business that "Mariners" can keep using the name NBCC????????????????

Whew sorry I used Mariners I know that is the old name old habits die hard. It still says Mariners on the gate by the way. Its Negril beach club and Negril beach club condos two seperate businesses. Thats all i meant to say. Its very misleading. Sorry if I offended anyone. Not a newbie either.....

Did you, or did you not, book with Jean Gaynair's NBCC? If you booked with Negril Beach Club Resort, you did not. Similar names and/or shared facilities does not mean you booked with Jean's establishment. They are seperate entities, there is no trying to make it so.

Well, I, like many others I am sure, totally understand lovejabads pov..

I understand Lovejabads POV...I wouldn't want to be bumped from a hotel, airline etc that I've booked & paid for...but...what I don't understand is blaming the wrong company?
If I stay at Seasplash...do I blame Seastar or Seasand for the error just because the names are similar? And, why would anyone expect the owner/manager of Seastar & Seasand to fix the problem and/or address the problem of someone naming the wrong property on the internet? Is it not our responsibility to make sure our information is accurate when posting (especially accusatory) information on the internet?
It's already been pointed out that expedia is not a booking agent for NBCC...but they are for NBCR.
So what am I not understanding?

.......if you haven't thoroughly read the thread you shouldn't be questioning me.
