i am not famaliar with this hotel, where in relation to BHV is this and what experiences did you have or hear of please.
Some people it seems just have nothing positive to say about anywhere people would stay!! Jeez, vacation somewhere else then!
I have stayed at Beach House and i recommend it to anyone traveling with kids as the staff is also awesome with children. Rooms and apartments are big and very nice, wonderful view, great location to town and Jungle, Alfreds for walking in either direction. Security is great, bar and rest has awesome pepper shrimp and cold beer. The space on beach in front of T waters you walk by at night is very small and the Beach House has a guard posted there as well as Beach Club. I alone with purse large laptop etc.. in hand walk through there nearly nightly as they have free wifi at Beach House bar and NBCC wifi is usually down. Some nights there is a little pit fire going with a few locals but the two guards are on each side of you and I have never been bothered when going back and forth until 11pm when beach house bar closes and I swim right out in front of NBCC nightly and aside from a hello how ya doing beautiful I never get hassled then either from those guys, and again there is security sitting in a chair right there all night.
Beach House is awesome and I would stay there all the time except good rates are hard to get there.
Children Are Our Tomorrow !
oh yes. Very nice place. Not a whole lot of beach but very nice grounds...And the people are great. And my villa came with a full time maid which I did not know about..no extra charge...she will cook for you if you like...fish guy comes by every morning...It's right next to margaritaville
Or, not......
Whoa everyone. Lets back up to the original comment. "Stay alert and be sure to lock up properly when you go out" Pretty sage advise for any tourist destination in the world. More so near an abandoned property in Negril, or Toronto.
Sage advice = Advice given with wisdom to back it, usually from an older person.
I can't remember exactly where I was when I read "Stay alert and be sure to lock up properly when you go out" but I do remember that I dropped everything and ran home to lock up. I was kicking myself the whole way for not thinking of it on my own.
I have stayed at Beach House Villas many, many times in almost every unit on the property during almost all times of year. Originally when we started going to Jamaica (my wife and I), we used to stay at the T-Water (staring in the mid 1980s). Once we had kids, we moved over to the BH Villas because we wanted more space and a kitchen. I have taken my kids first as little babies, then as little kids and recently as teenagers and have always enjoyed the BH Villas. The staff is absolutely peerless, the food is good, the bar is a great place to hang and the beach location is unbeatable. You can walk to town or in the other direction, everything is convenient and I cannot oveerstate what a lovely, beautiful property it is.
On the question of the T-Water next door, folks are correct that it an abandoned properly and that there are squatters there (frankly, it brings tears to my eyes because of all the fond memories I have of the place). That said, the security staff at the BH Villas is completely on the ball. Even with little kids, I have never felt the slightest bit concerned for everyone's personal safety, and I have NEVER had an incident over many many stays at the BH Villas.
Bottom line: If you are considering the property because it otherwise meets your requirements, the do not hesitate to stay there. We love it and have both recommended it in the past and brought newbies with us to stay there (they had a great time as well).
Listen, I very much love Negril, however, I will not sugarcoat the realities just to be allowed on this board. If someone comes to this board and asks a question - they should be told ALL details...not just the happy happy happy ones. Why bring it up - because the scum from T-water was found on a balcony at BHV trying to break in, but Im sorry I guess I shouldn't have mentioned that, right?
The fact (fact, not rumor) remains that there have been numerous robberies and assaults near that property including numerous break ins at another neighboring property that I dare not name. Instead of hiding this, people should be made aware - awareness increases safety!!!!
I live in Brooklyn, I am a tough girl from the 'hood and even I get the creeps walking by T-water at night - front and back!! Remember, crack heads cant reason and have no control over their actions!!
There is never any need to sugar coat the facts here. The truth is always welcome as it helps people to have the best time possible in Jamaica on their vacation. But I am curious as to how you know what you claim you know. Did you witness the attempted break-in, or did you hear about it? If you did not actually witness it, then it is by definition rumor, not a fact.
What about the numerous robberies and assaults that you speak of - did you witness each incident or did you hear about them? If you did not witness each incident yourself, then this is pure rumor and once again not fact.
But the fact of the matter is that just recently you went out of your way to disparage the good name of a property, and this property did nothing at all to you. You erroneously mentioned the wrong property. This is a fact. And when this error was explained to you multiple times, you refused to correct your position and continued to bash the property that had done absolutely nothing to you.
Yes, you are correct. All the details should be told. And the fact that you have shown very little interest in the truth of a situation when relaying information on this internet forum should come into play regarding your latest disparaging of yet another property. People deserve to know the truth - and the validity of the source should come into play.
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
