My husband and I will be in Jamaica from 4-15 Feb 2013. We're booked in at Rockhouse Negril, Jakes in Treasure Beach, and we're thinking about spending the last few days back in Negril at Catcha Falling Star in the Pisces room (http://www.catchajamaica.com/thepisces.htm). Anyone stayed at this property before?
Thanks!
LOL, You'll have a hard time getting feedback on Catcha Falling Star around here...
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
ALL great choices!
LOL!
Sorry I don't mean to laugh at your very good question, but when I read it that is exactly what I did
Catcha Falling Star is one of the most popular resorts discussed on this board. And in my opinion it is the best place around (I may be biased I know)
I myself will be the first to admit that I am 100% in love with that place. Catcha is my all time favorite place in the whole world, not trying to oversell it of course! LOL
You will have the BEST time!
If you have any specific questions about Catcha feel free to ask and we will gladly help!
Thanks Marley! This hotel looks great but the price seemed too good to be true. Made me worry a little. We'll book the end of our trip there for sure. I also read some great reviews about Joe Cool for transfters (http://www.joecooltaxiandtoursjamaic...ansfers_1.html). I'd love to be able to just use one guy to go from the airport in Montego Bay - Rockhouse - Jakes - Catcha - airport. If we could do some sightseeing on these trips it would be even better. Make the cab rides a little more interesting. Anyone used Joe Cool before?
Thanks for the fast responses!
The reason that the price is low is because that is one of the smaller units on the property and it is closer to the road than to the cliff side. But with that said, in my opinion there isn't a bad room on the property, some just have better views or perks than others.
But the real sell of Catcha is how gorgeous the place is, how amazing the staff is, how wonderful the food and drinks are, etc. so if they would let me put a tent on the property I would do it and not even complain (and that is coming from someone who doesn't camp!) LOL
You will be happy there for sure and the Rockhouse is also a gorgeous property with great views food and drinks too, I just prefer Catcha for the vibe and the staff and overall experience.
Treasure Beach is great too, you have to check out YS Falls and the Pelican Bar!
You have made some really great choices for your first visit, you will have a great time.
I myself am not familiar with Joe Cool as I always use my own favorite driver (Chicken) but I think others on this board have used Joe Cool and have said good things, so I will let them speak on that but yes, your idea of using one driver for everything is a great idea!
You sound like a pro already!
Have a great time!
I noticed a lot of people talking about Chicken! He's on my list as well. Maybe i'll send him an email and see what he can set up for us. I'd like to get a set rate for the whole deal. We are definitely going to Pelican Bar, hopefully the falls, and I thought we'd do the Love Bus Bar Crawl for fun.
I used to be a travel agent many years ago, so I think that helps with my planning.
Can't wait for our trip!! This is my 40th birthday present to myself. I figure if i'm going to do it, do it right.
That sounds like a great plan! And a great Birthday! I am a planner too so I know what you mean, I just can't help myself! lol
oh and you HAVE to do the pub crawl....that is so much fun!
We have some friends who are going on their honeymoon next week in Negril. They came to me as the "Jamaica expert" and asked for advice and a list of must do things.
I gave them a list of about 50 things to do in Negril, webcasts, shows, entertainment, places to eat, drinks to order, etc.
Then I gave them a second list that said
"After reading that list here are the 2 MUST DO things"
1) Eat dinner and enjoy drinks at Ivan's (Catcha Falling Star)
2) The One Love Bus Pub Crawl
For Day trip options I told them YS Falls / Pelican Bar
Check out my trip report and you can see how much fun can be had doing those 3 things listed above:

Yeah, you are going to have a GREAT time!
If you are going to Treasure Beach in the middle of your stay, why not leave Rockhouse early on your departure day, visit Black River and YS Falls with a drop off in Treasure Beach? It might cost a little extra, but would save a full day of travel. I believe you can visit Pelican Bar from a Treasure Beach fishing boat.
Regards,
Bob
Hey ThreeBlackCats, we arrive on the 12th of Feb, so maybe we will cross paths! (I like your boardie name!)
