Trip Report - Nov 10 - 15, Country Country

[CherryNorth49]

Thanks for the great report Nedley. Country Country is on my short list of places to try. You certainly make is sound appealing! That snapper sounds divine.

How did you find the noise level at night?

The only night noise was an issue for us was the night M'ville had their "party". Friday I think?? Really not that bad, but we were in the middle of the property, not beach front.

Yes, we were not there Friday either and apparently it is loud at Margaritaville. There was one night where there was another party somewhere and it was loud until 2:00... lots of boom boom. We were very close to the beach and that might have made a difference, not sure.

Is that the tall bigger woman? I plan to send an email to Monique about a couple things and was going to mention her.

i did a very detailed report and submitted to monique . . . no response at all . . . very disappointing . . . not even an acknowledgement!!

I remember names of servers but can't put them to faces. I've talked to Jason a lot and he told me about issues with Stacy. I'm sure I'll stop by to visit next week. If I remember to ask, and she's there, I'll get back with her description/name. I'm not sure if she was there my last trip. I didn't encounter attitude/poor service - the girls seemed quite timid/shy...even wondered if they were unhappy there. If they quelch any negative influence and replace it with more of a fun/friendly vibe and throw in a nightly drink special or happy hour, it would be a win/win. Don't know why Monique and the asst (can't remember his name) haven't picked up on that.

That's what it's like Friday nights from Margaritaville. Ends promptly at 2:00 as I think they have an agreement. I was able to sleep, but missed the other nights where it's the sounds of the sea waves and tree frogs lulling you to sleep. I assume what you heard nedleycan was a special Margaritaville party event. Friday nights were the only nights my two stays. IMO, the other positives of the property outweighed this minor issue.

I have stayed at Country Country 4 times. It isn't cheap but I love it there. I have found the service there to be better than most other places we have stayed in Negril. Is Lee still there? He is a top notch employee and true nice person. Great security too. The restaurant prices are steep, we only ate there for the free included (and delicious) breakfast. Having your own private cottage on the beach, along with a nice porch/deck to relax on at night, can't be beat.

And I forgot to add, noise has never once been an issue. Maybe it's because I have the a/c running.

Where in SK are you from Sandman?

Dinner entree prices were about $16-$22 from what I recall. Definitely cheaper prices around (and higher) but comparing to places like Ivan's, Kuyuba, Charela etc, much the same, or better, and well worth the cost for the quality, when choosing a mid to higher end dinner. Only thing lacking is wine quality (according to nedleycan) and dessert. The entree cost is very similar to the majority of average Saskatoon restaurants, but quality and freshness superior.
