Yes, Nomad we ARE
I think we might be setting a hotel hopping record.
We just want to experience and see as much as we can on this trip.
It will be at least 5 or 6 years until we can go to Negril again after this special upcoming vacation.
Marley - We'll be at Catcha the same time as you, We'll be moving over to Banana Shout on your last day.
Ack! No! I don't want to think about that day!
Carpe Diem
Banana Shout has a bar area, however, it is not a functioning bar. The reason for this is that there are only 4 cottages so not enough people around at once to pay to keep someone full-time bartending, etc.
However, Milo will plan a dinner and ask if any guests wish to all pitch in and he will shop and cook. Also, they will pick up stuff to make drinks and everyone just pitches an amount depending on how many drinks they had.
Milo and Marianne are very laid back and will do everything to make your stay a perfect one.
Banana Shout and Catcha are both great properties, but also very different. Love them both.

We'll just stock up on Red stripe and keep it in the fridge.
I'm really looking forward to staying at Banana Shout, I have a feeling we're going to really love it!

Clarity,
Love your trip report. I have stayed at the "Shout" about 8 times, always the seafront cottage on the right. (Closest to Catcha) It is awesome, the breeze, the small quiet property, the shower down the steps right at sea level (You feel like you are walking on water) Also the coolness of the sitting area down there. The porch and hammock, many times it was hard to get off the porch as the view is stunning, sunset views amazing, you can also watch the parade of boats up to Rick's for sunset. No A/C has never been an issue and I stayed for a month in August timeframe. I am sure you will love it. Also LTU and Ivan's are right there for fab food!!
Bless~

this is killing me...in a good way. We're booked for that room in May and what you've described is 100% what I am hoping for.
You'll be in good hands with Milo. His family have done wonders with the place. Big Up to them all.
I have some great pics of Banana Shout from my stay there. They are on my home computer so I'll try to figure out how to post pics tonight. Haven't posted pics since the board moved to the new format. I was in Dolphin Bay or View (the one closest to Catcha) my first night but there just wasn't any breeze when I was there and Milo was so awesome to move me to Red Rooster which had an awesome breeze upstairs in the bedroom. It kind of has a tunnel effect through the middle of the property so that upstairs room truly gets an incredible breeze. I'm an A/C girl and come from the dry climate of Southern California so the no breeze thing was tough for me that first night. Absolutely loved Red Rooster but I did have to deal with street noise and (as the unit is so aptly named) the roosters wake-up call at 4 a.m. And the stairs could be hazardous for someone needing to go down to the restroom in the middle of the night who had a little too much to drink. Yikes. Milo and Marianne are awesome!!!!! They are masters at staying out of your way to give you privacy but yet seem to be right there whenever you need and will do their best to accommodate anything you might want. The best hosts of anywhere I've stayed.
