So what happened to the Sunday Webcast???

From SATP to either Canoe or De Bar...you can have your driver stop at the Cambio located at Bourbon Beach or the ATM located at the Scotia Bank.

** I do wonder if the smoking policy was listed in the booking/confirmation emails rather than their website...

i'm a smoker also and i 100% agree that if a property has a no-smoking policy, that information is absolutely de rigeur on the booking website. for me it makes a difference as to whether or not i book a particular place. Even though i sometimes do book a no-smoking hotel anyway, if i have to fit a certain travel schedule or whatever, it's important that i'm made aware of all hotel rules & regs up front at the time of booking.

the overall point is, i agree that the customer MUST be informed about all policies clearly and up front, so they are able to make an informed choice.

To put things in perspective: Does anyone know of other Negril hotels that don't allow smoking?

NH I don't know what happened with your taxi but I gave you the phone number of a great honest guy to use. He charges $10 to go from the beach to the cliffs. Pretty fair I think. Have you not tried him?

i'd be interested in the phone number to the taxi, thanks

during both of my stays, there was a standard letter that a guest finds on the table stating the hotel rules, nothing threatening in it, just stating their rules! it's generic, not pointed at anyone in particular!! . . .

One of the reasons I didn't return to Jamaica for over 20 yrs was the second hand smoke issue.

When I got the job as a ship's master with Sealand I was tested every month for twenty years.

Of course now that I'm retired thing have changed a bit <grin>

It's good to be home

By contrast, the Seastar Inn room key had a leaf printed on it.

Thanks gerry123 for the heads up. We HAD considered staying at Seastar Inn but now we are taking it OFF our short list-little things mean a lot as the saying goes! It's always good to be an informed traveler, eh? IRIE! *IG

This has me a little confused. You mean that a "leaf on the room key" means you can smoke anything in the rooms at Seastar? I have a reservation confirmation that plainly says "smoking outside only".

Not that it really matters to me as I don't smoke cigarettes and if and when I very rarely now consume herb, it would only be in the outdoors out of Respect for others.

And then the response:

Which still has me scratching my head. Am I missing something or what?? If there is a No Smoking Policy in the rooms and the room key has a leaf on it, what is the connection or is there some "assumption" between the two things?
