Chapter 43 – Coco La Palm
September 8th, 2010 – Wednesday – (Day 5)

Moved the car next door to Coco la Palm.



On the beach. Coco La Palm gets excellent reviews so I want to check it out for myself. Lobby was busy. People checking in and out. Phoning ringing off the hook. We ask for tour of place. Not overly friendly but not rude in any way. Had our 2 Jamaican friends with us. Don’t think it made the slightest difference.

Viewed about 3 rooms. Big place. Showed us the least expensive rooms first.

Because people like it so much I guess I thought it was going to be nicer. I thought little dated. Clean functional. Standard motel. Progressively nicer rooms.

We just were at Idle Awhile next door which has total of 15 rooms vs. lots here at Coco La Palm. The rooms at Idle Awhile were really really nice. At Coco we looked at least expensive room first. She had no interest in looking anymore after that. I am a research got to keep on going.

Have checked in to 4 hotels this trip and all have been 15 rooms or less. Having the time of my life at small hotels. Regular room at Coco La Palm probably half of what cheapest room at Idle Awhile.

I walked the property. Pool is nice. Restaurant area is fine.




In Coco La Palm's defense (like they need it) they were busiest lobby I saw in all of Negril. It was just a big place compared to all the other places I have been staying. I am really appreciating the small boutique hotels. I am 100% cliffs person I realize. Same stunning beach. Beach area huge. Secure. Lots of sun and shade.

I know many people love this place. I would hazard to guess an excellent place to get ur “feet wet” leaving an AI. Couple with kids of any ages. Group of girls. American style owned and operated hotel. Which can be taken as a plus or minus depending on you.
