    Mr. X Does Negril (2010) with No Reservations

    Chapter 41 – Blue Cave Castle
    September 8th, 2010 – Wednesday – (Day 5)

    We load up and move to Blue Cave Castle from Catcha it’s a 3 minute drive. Basically from far end of cliffs to start of cliffs.

    Granville honks and they open gate. We pull in. Get out of car. Love me some castle. Wow impressive. Does not look faux at all.

    Too cool.

    Walk to edge of property. Little 2 and ½ foot rock wall and then straight down like 25 feet to the ocean. Wow. Water is so clear and 25 feet deep. Looking down 50 feet to the bottom and I swear u could see fish. Sweet.

    No check in went right to room. So pulled in and security guy and Granville and me take everything up to the room. I had prepaid for room for 2 nights and had copy of receipt in my hand. Security guy walked us to the room and the key was in the door. Did not even go in the office do not even know where the office is. Only reason I know I can find my room because it’s the top 2 floors of the castle. Only castle (finished) around.



    We walk up two flights of stairs maybe 3 flights. Last one being steep.

    Lower level of Penthouse.


    Behind is a full bathroom with a huge walk in shower.

    You can hang out here and be in the shade or u can walk forward and there is a large patio with loungers. What a view. Wow more than 180 degrees. Ocean to right and looking down coast towards SamSara on the point and the unfinished castle right before.

    Looking down steps towards lower level of Penthouse

    Turn left and there is another patio with a few chairs that kind of juts into a point. Almost like the bow on the Titanic that Kate and Leo leaned forward.

    Bath with tub shower. Clean neat not fancy. No AC. Slotted windows with screens. We throw our suitcases in.

    Go back out room and there is another set of stairs that lead to another baloney on top of the penthouse and even a fourth tiny balcony up a few more stairs. From these top two levels u have an unobstructed view in any direction. Wow highest point in Negril. This is so cool.

    Little embarrassed to admit that this is actually the first time I have ever stayed in a castle before. Doubt I will act any different just because I am in a castle. Much less a castle on the ocean in the Caribbean. Castle in Negril. Top it off today is wife’s birthday and we are staying in the Penthouse. Doubt if any of her previous suitors took her to stay in a castle before. Just how I roll.
    Such a cool view.
