Thanks for the quick report, Flip. Would love to spend NYE in Negril. Maybe next year...

Sounds like you stayed in the older Seaview Deluxe rooms at HSH? They received a cosmetic update a couple years ago, but I agree that the furniture, bath fixtures, etc. look pretty tired. If you can spring for one of the newer suites (Rooms 15 & 16), they are in much better shape. You can usually get a good rate on those during the slow season. But I agree with you on the amazing view from all rooms. HSH was the first place we stayed in Negril. Now, I can't get my wife to stay anywhere that doesn't have a direct sea view.
