Negril Palm Hotel

[mamade11]

Hello Negrillers!
Can someone tell me about Negril Palm hotel, I have a short trip in Feb. and I haven't been able to find an available room at my favorite hotels so I have to try something new and I saw this hotel with available rooms although I'm a little bummed it's at the boring side of the beach..HaHa!IMO.

Must Haves: Clean room, Ocean view, Coffeemaker, WiFi & Balcony/Patio... am I headed in the right direction booking this hotel?

Thank you!

IrieChic We stayed there in April. Very clean, most rooms will not have a view. The rooms go down a walkway on both sides. No coffee maker and if you want a frig it's $10 per night. The grounds are beautiful, but we did have some issues with our room as did other guests. Air did not work properly and we had a lock that did not work on the sliding door. We ended up bolting it and leaving and entering from the back door.

Wifi was awesome, they had a tower so that was one really big plus. Food and drinks were expensive. We did not eat or drink at the bar the entire time we were there, but plenty of places close by. Juicy's a next door.

For the price (about $45.00 a night) it was hard to complain, but with a little work I could see it being a very nice place.

Hope this helps.

Mamade - Were they aware of all the issues? or you all just dealt with them?

I would bring my own coffee maker and a ocean view is not a huge deal but no AC that's a deal breaker! Lol

They definately were aware of the issues, and were very nice and tried to fix them. We had maintenance in 3 times the 1st hour, we tried to move but they claimed no other rooms. He did get it to work, but we had to keep it on 24-7 to keep the room cool.(which I hate to do in Jamaica or anywhere else) If we shut it, it would take HOURS to cool the room down. Same with the lock, he replaced parts, but didn't have the one he needed.. And, they do have a small but nice section of beach with umbrellas. Staff was hit or miss....Maintenance and housekeeping were awesome, security and beach staff so so. (meaning friendliness) IMO

If you do stay, just really check your lock. You could not really tell it was broke, but my bf thought it felt loose, it could be open with anything - screwdriver, key, etc.... But there is another door to use or I would not have stayed in that room.

Ok Thanks again Mamade for all the info!
I will only be there a couple days so hopefully I can manage I'm in Jamaica right! Lol
