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.
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.
