AZUL SENSATORI JAMAICA, BY KARISMA
Where is it located in Negril. From pictures it looks like Bloody Bay. Is it all new or another old property re-done?
Never mind ........ did a quick search ............. it is the old Beaches remodeled unscale

Rebranded, and really jacked up the price... my Travel Agent is booked to go there in January. Not sure what it was.... but its up in the area of Sandals, I think.
Used to be Beaches Sandy Bay....

Friends are trying to book with their timeshare company. Anyone had luck with that ? ? Is it all-inclusive ? ?
I saw Azul when we stayed at Boardwalk Village last year. They were still working on it but it looked very nice. The beach was very nice too. I believe it is AI.

I had similar questions and was going to start a separate thread. Long story short: My parents have a timeshare (with exchange privileges with Interval International). They have one week they won't be able to use, so they gave it to my wife and I. Naturally, my first thought is, "Can I use this timeshare in Negril?" Well, it turns out that there are 2 places in Negril that are affiliated with Interval International - Azul Sensatori and Sunset at the Palms. Both of them require that you purchase their AI plan for $100+ in addition to the timeshare cost. Also, it appears that availability is limited. Basically, these resorts offer up their unsold hotel rooms to Interval, just to fill the space. so, If the hotel is fully booked during high season, there are no timeshares available.
The cost of the AI plan is a deal breaker for me. I'm not going to pay $150/ day just to go out and eat at different restaurants each night. For $150, I can pretty much stay at any hotel of my choice. I thought I read that the Beachcomber Club had timeshares available, but they don't appear to be in the Interval directory. Instead, I am looking at the Jamaica Inn, in Ocho Rios. It's not Negril, but it is regarded as one of the best hotels on the island.
If anybody has any experience with timeshares in Negril or Jamaica, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
We have owned a timeshare since the mid 90' when it was Poinciana. Under Sandals management, when it was Beaches Sandy Bay we were not required to purchase the all inclusive plan. Our unit had a kitchen so we could buy food and cook for ourselves or go out to the many restaurants along the highway.
When Azul management took over they REQUIRED that we take the all inclusive package at $90/day per person. The two of us could almost live on $180 for a week in Negril (though we probably wouldn't want to). So to insure compliance of the timeshare owners, during the last renovation they removed the kitchens from the units! Now our unit is worthless to us.
We consider the Karisma Azul Sensotori management to be common thieves.
Beachcomber's timeshares were with RCI.....
Generally speaking I don't think RCI people can get in there because normally the people who have timeshares at Beachcomber never exchange them. We have exchanged ours one or twice, but RCI makes you go through hoops. Plus the reason we bought it there was to use it there.
Email me if you want more info.
Soon come!
