Anyone stayed at the Beachcomber Club this year?

I am surprised to learn you had such a negative experience. We stayed there more times than I can remember and can report they always made things right. I remember once the A/C leaked so they moved us. This time the cable didn't work but they fixed it right away. I would never accept anything that wasn't to our satisfaction and would see that everything was perfect from the start. If any place couldn't do that then I would move.

One year I had to go to the local hardware store to get my own cable connector(which was missing) to hook up the TV......One year we had water in the bathroom sink but none for the toilet.......So.....I had to fill up the tank from the faucet with the wastepaper basket to flush the toilet.........Just a couple of things.......Again.....The Staff is the best and the place is very clean..........But, the basic mechanicals are shot......

That's a pretty good assessment of the BCC. The place has been run into the ground over the past 15 years or so. My friends have timeshares at the BBC so I do stay there to be with my friends when in Negril but the rooms are falling apart. Big plumbing issues, cracked floor tiles, kitchen utilities not working and the list goes on.

The owners use to be married and now they live seperately in the resort. Both take in money from the resort but little of that seems to go back into the resort. Nightly security is almost absent. About 5 years ago there were a number of break ins by a man and woman. The woman had a master key and would enter the rooms with people sleeping inside. I guess that has stopped because I haven't heard of any more incidents since then.

The pros to this place are that the rooms are big, you get a lot of space. Also, the location on the beach is really good. Other then that you would probably be better off at another spot.

You are right about the best of the Beachcomber Club. That's why we enjoy staying there. I guess until we have problems we will be returning. We were there the first week in October and stayed in the front right under the manager's home. I was not sure if she was the owner but she was nice and took my wife out shopping. She met with us on the beach and introduced us to others that lived on the island.

We stayed at so many places over the several decades and have never been disappointed traveling to Jamaica.
