So far I'm not convinced I want to stay at Fun Holiday, hope it gets better.

Is there something about the words "all-inclusive" I don't understand?

That would mean...all...as in everything...INCLUDED. LOL

OR

ALL-INCLUSIVE!!!!
*except drinks, ice, Red Stripe, some foods and most things you would want. All offers conditions, rules and previous promises are null and void once we have your money.*

Newfie: I stayed at the old Negril Inn once and it was the same way....don't judge Negril on this experience! There are hundreds of other places to stay!

very, very, VERY misleading. Legends does the same thing. Should be called a meal and drink plan, especially in light of a general understanding about what all-inclusive means at other, more reputable hotels. It's like stealing ....

At least Legends/SamSara "spells it out" as to what's included & what's not.....

I have to say for the price we paid and that they have been offering FunHoliday out of Toronto, if you got two beers and a stale sandwich a day you are still doin ok.

I plan on staying there in December. Like, $68 pp AI? Pretty great. But these reports give me doubts. I'm bringing my sons (age 18, 16) to Jamaica for their first visit...this kind of thing won't do...

Brasi, we stayed at the old Negril Inn as well, a fair time ago. Too many funny stories about that place!

It was a 'herding cattle' type of AI. You were required to eat...er..."graze" at certain times and they were restrictive. Draft beer and lower shelf liquor...nothing at all available between meal times. That's a killer when you have kids.

I stayed at Legends for 6 nights in 2008. It was ok. I didn't take the AI so i was buying a really pretty Swedish woman drinks for two hours before I realized she WAS AI...she had no idea I was buying them....she thought the barkeep was just filling her up..hahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Brasi.

What I did like about Legends...it still may be true...is you could buy into the AI for a day at a time, even if you walked in off the street. If you knew you were chilling there for the day, well worth it. It was $54 then...(above the cost of the room). That included 3 meals, and most drinks.

Newfie or PoolGuy would put 'em out of business at that price!

brasi,

Yes, Legends/SamSara still lets you do the A/I option on a day to day basis.

I read somewhere about the swim up bar charging and that they regularly run out of stuff. I seriously considered booking FH because it was such a cheap AI. I am so glad we didn't!

True I had a 9 and 7 year old with me and they drank enough frozen fruit drinks, i got my moneys worth on that alone plus I was planning on eating dinners out and they wanted to stay and eat dinner there,first time i think my kids ever saved me money!!!
