Charela Inn vs SeaStar

[7milelover]

I have stayed at Charela many times. Their beach is awesome and you will get great photos too. The staff is very friendly
and I enjoyed staying there. It is a great location on the beach.

Seastar is indeed lovely - once you get there. for me, it being nowhere near the water and a bit of a walk back off the road puts it out of the running in my choice of vacation hotels. now if i was ever planning a longterm stay i'd consider it, but just for a short week or two, i'd choose Charela. taxi'ing to the beach just isn't the same as waking up and being right there ON the sand, stepping out your door right into the sea for a morning swim, having coffee/breakfast right there in bathing suit & bare feet, having everything right there without having to do anything, go anywhere, or even get dressed..... now that's my personal ideal for relaxation. i also enjoy cliff stays sometimes too, but only in hotels right on the water; seastar is a wonderful place, but imho is just too out-of-the-way -

We've never stayed at Charela but all I've heard about it has been positive!

We have split our vacation between the beach and the West End and it was a good thing for sure!

We have had the pleasure of staying at the Seastar inn and I gotta tell you, it was all good! The shuttle did make it easy to get to the beach or anywhere along the way for that matter and a cell phone too. Pool is good and the food is too along with the Saturday nite shows and the 2 for 1 drink specials as well.

If you're going to stayin the West End then the Seastar Inn is a great choice! Chris and Francine & company will take real good care of you!

Peace

Just saw this thread and had to laugh. I'm heading to Negril for the first time this December and after weeks of reading the forum and reviews on tripadvisor, I booked 5 nights and Charela and 5 nights at Seastar Inn! Sounds like we must have the same kind of preferences!

I hope you post a report and some picts post-trip! I'm dying to hear how your experience was at both places!

it's really apples and oranges in this case.............
one is directly on the beach........the other is on the road side of the cliffs and not on the water..........
one is kinda expensive.........one is kinda inexpensive..........
personally I would choose SeaStar Inn because overall it's a lot better setup for this guy............
it would be living it up big time at Charlea Inn being a solo guy and not worth the extra bucks.........

now comparing Charlea Inns sista property Mirage with SeaStar Inn would be more like oranges and oranges.........though Mirage is directly on da wata
