The Spa Retreat

[Kay Spiker Pontius]

Well Keith, our travel agent One Stop gave us the rooms at their cost and it still cost me an extra $488.00 per couple.
If I'm understanding your post correctly, the westender would owe both couples $488.00.
When can we expect our credit. We were told by our travel agent that the Westender was not willing to help out at all.
Further more the price difference between the 2 rooms we had at the Westender and Dolphin Bay - we were told you were *****ing about having to give us a credit therefore we opted to not have anything to do with the Westender. An extra 488.00 credit would be nice for our 10 day stay . What are you going to do about it? Please advise? Thank you the Pontius's

Kay, it sounds like you may want to take this direct to Keith at Westender rather than play it out on the board. It is unfortunate that you have been put in this situation but it appears Keith is looking out for you plus from what it appears the Spa is a very nice resort. Good luck to you and your group. Plus really, do you think One Stop gave you the rooms at their cost? Find a way to get past this and enjoy your trip.............

Had a great time at the Spa. We did the all-inclusive one of the days and it was TOTALLY worth it.
We flew to Montego Bay and we were immediately whisked off by the competent Rocky from Rocky’s Tours, who has been in business for over 25 years in the area. The 2 hour trip to Negril (sounds like “the grill”) wasn’t bad inside Rocky’s air-conditioned bus. We had the whole bus to ourselves and were given a complimentary Red Stripe as soon as we got on. Rocky stopped at the Mega Mart for us so we could get some snacks and sodas for our room at the resort. He also stopped at the most awesome roadside stand where we ate Jerk Chicken and drank Sorrel. Sorrel is a traditional drink that is made in Jamaica around the holidays. It is also very healthy; being made with Christmas spices, ginger, and little Jamaican rum. The owner, Bigger told us that Sorrel is actually listed on the internet as a cancer-treating elixir. Bigger also sells Jerk sauce “to go”, and we were so impressed by his sauce and Jerk chicken that we told him we’d stop back in 3 days on our way back home.
We passed through 7-Mile Beach and arrived at the Spa just at the North End of the Cliffs. It was an impressive resort designed by the owner, who is also an architect. The thatched roof huts had a symmetrical design from the inside and the polished wood ceiling and floors gave it a rustic look. We dropped our bags and had and had the front desk call us a cab. We watched the sunset from our balcony and then made a b-line straight for the beach. Awesome place to stay-Dwayne the bartender is really cool, and the vibe is very laid back in contrast to the busy beach, kinda gives you the best of both worlds,
