hey_mon, I sent a list to the family for options and Seasand Eco Villas was one on the short list. Also think Crystal Waters might work, but it is so darn close to Margaritaville that I remain a bit ambivalent. Also thought about doing all inclusive at Seawind and taking the two beach front suites, two beach front and another room, figuring we could take over the beach in front of the suites. But it is not the greatest beach. We like the beach at Nirvana but it will wind up being a bit confusing and more costly. The other beach we would consider is Whistling Bird, but it is pricey, and then we would have to deal with meals for 12 each night. Having done a villa at Silver Sands we loved the meals the cook prepared. It would be great to have that option in Negril! So pleased to hear good things about the set up at Seasand. At Silver Sands We told the cook that we were very open to whatever she would prepare and we enjoyed every meal for an incredible price. It wound up costing us around $375 a couple for the week for all our meals, including some liquor purchases. How is the beach in front of the villas? We pretty much hang on the beach all day and take walks. It is hard to explain to people why I want them to stay on the beach in Negril when I tell them how much we love it but then say that we have only found a few places along the beach that we would stay, we like to walk by everywhere, but the beach is important to us for our spending our days at our lounges at the place we are staying. Hence why we liked CSA, Idle Awhile and Charela. We got an incredible deal, all inclusive at Charela and just might do that again with this crew, but still feel the villa route would be more economical. Our crew is my family, which is three grown "kids" and a boyfriend (we will pay for their airfare but they will be paying for accommodations, hence my wanting to keep it lower pricing, we already take them on a summer vacation every year and heck, we are not as flush as we would like, besides they want to join us for a trip to Negril since we have been raving about our trips there since '07) , my sister and her family which includes two teens and a sister and her husband. So there are no "kids" so sharing rooms is not ideal. I wish there were more/better pictures of the Seasand Eco Villas. But their website seems to be very sincere and makes me think that it would be a fine place to stay. It is great to hear that you love love loved it! Thanks for your post!
