Seasplash?

[Ras Walleye]

"A "mob mentality" can take over as more people want to join the "bandwagon" and the truth can be lost. I know that some of you can relate and as one who has been unfairly treated by one sided talk in the past, it is not something I wish on anyone to have to deal with in their life.

So once again, thanks for keeping this thread informative, helpful and respectful to all. We hope this situation is resolved quickly and fairly for all involved."

Darn it Rob, I just finished getting all my pitchforks and torches ready.

Thanks for being the voice of reason, as usual. Here's hoping for a speedy and amicable resolution.

As a rasta friend of mine is fond of saying "business is business, and playtime is playtime. We should never lose sight of the fact that our playtime is someone else's business.

Reality check...any property, anywhere, any day could close up shop and/or the management/owners could change!
Fact...if something isn't in writing you're taking an extra chance that something may go wrong!

Why not alleviate the concern by simply calling and asking if they will be honoring everything you've requested, before speculating that it may not happen. This seems simple to me!!

I am fully aware that anything can happen with any plans or property. In light of this recent change, it just appears that the risk is increased. I do have it in writing via very brief and informal email replies from the current reservations manager, assuring me that "whatever Mr. Hurt says, goes" that no doubt could be easily disregarded under the circumstances. Since this news came out, I have requested a formal letter from management confirming my reservation, the inclusions and the amount of taxes payable. Have not yet had a response. If there is no response by Monday, I will try calling with my request, for what it's worth. Simply calling and getting a verbal assurance that everything will be honoured, as you mentioned, if it isn't in writing, it doesn't count for much.

Melody, your post above is exactly what I was thinking. Who's to say the current management will honor our vouchers. If we don't have anything from the current management in writing, the voucher can be null and void as far as management is concerned. Unless someone has bought the voucher, he or she does not know how we feel. I don't have money to throw away.

Nice post, Mrs Wilson & thanks for the pistachios...!

NegrilAddict, Melody & anyone else that purchased a voucher...let us know what happens after you hear (in writing)...I do understand how you feel as I certainly "don't have money to throw away" and want the best possible outcome for everyone!

Thanks Lisa!! I hope the outcome is good for me and the other people who bought vouchers. I have also written to Living Social to see what they will say.

Jim,

I haven't met you, but you brought so much energy to this board and the seasplash that I was really looking forward to meeting you, and that and the great reviews seasplash was getting once you took over were the only reason I purchased a voucher. I certainly wouldn't have otherwise! At this point in time I'm not too overly worried about that, but am concerned about the litigation you and your partner are facing. That is really none of my business, but we appreciate your honesty and I know I hope that everything works out in your behalf.

Rob and bnewb, Miss ya'll!

I understand what you are saying as well, and hopefully everything will work out....but I also agree with Melody that it might not be the same, and as you know, there are a lot of other places in Negril that I would normally stay anyway.....

So, I haven't made any reservations yet (at seasplash or elsewhere) as I'm not sure when I can get back there at this time, but we all have until next April to see what happens!
Possible vibes!!!!

I had hedo friends that had recently frequented seasplash for the new vibe and your webcasts rob, and EVERYBODY was loving it! Let's hope that it can continue....

Good Luck and bless you Jim for trying to follow your dreams!!! I honestly hope "everything little ting will be alright"

negril hugs!

Excellent post Mrs. Wilson.

If I am not mistaken Living Social guarantees their vouchers.

Well said Rob and Mrs. Wilson. Being a newb to Negril the slightest thing that changes the few constants (Flight, Hotel, Transportation) really puts me on the defense. I'm a pretty laid back guy but I like to know the bones are there so that I can feel like there is some type of structure at my home away from home. I appreciate everyone on this boards opinions and guidance. Rob you have really created a great environment for people to come together and share information and I've come to rely on this community to make me and my co-traveler (love of my life ) feel safe and EXCITED about our next trip to Negril. Thanks to all and a big hope that this gets resolved to the satisfaction for all involved. No one wants to think their paradise vacation spot is under siege .
