    I'm sorry....but $100,000 a WEEK? That is....lemme get my calculator - that is over $5,000,000.00 a year. Can anyone actually EARN that kind of money? Boy oh boy, I work really hard at a difficult job and have been doing it for over 20 years and I make
    about .007% of what they make. It is just not right.

    I stayed at Beaches shortly after it opened as a guest of my Travel Agent/friend who had it comp'd. It was great, but I always used to say the same amount of money would get me at least 2 trips with my budget. My very first trip was in 92, and Grand Lido had just opened and Apple vacations had a killer deal. It was only a 4 night stay to see what I thought of Jamaica. I obviously liked it, LOL.

    Each to their own I guess, but I wonder how many people who stay at the higher end AI's actually venture out from their hotels. If thats the case then how do you get a feel for any country you visit ?

    our first trips were to Sandals, if it wasn't for AI's like that we possibly never would have discovered Negril. We can no longer afford to stay there so we haven't in our last 5 trips but they do have there place IMO.

    A friend of mine just got back from her first trip to Negril and she stayed at Beaches. Before she went, I gave her phone numbers for friends of mine to help with transport, shopping, nightlife and I gave her suggestions/tips about Negril and still......SHE NEVER LEFT THE RESORT, not even one time!!

    Awww! That is kind of sad - but hopefully she had a good time where she was and just didn't feel the need to venture out. Then again, she may have been warned not to.
