Effective immediately if you go visit Negril Treehouse then you'll need a credit or debit card to make purchases at the bar, restaurant, or any other hotel owned business there. They are no longer accepting cash. (Don't shoot the messenger)

Wow..that will really hurt their walk up business. Who carry's a card on the beach? I was going to go over there for their breakfast but not now.
My biggest question is with wi-fi and internet not always the best in Jamaica what will they do if their card system goes down for a few hours?Originally Posted by fargoman
Probably not the best move, but they will figure it out. A few years back I went to a favorite breakfast place on the west end. Overnight they had printed new menus and nearly doubled the price of food. We looked at the menu, told the server it was too much (the owner was there in the back round) and walked across the street to another restaurant. I never use a card in Negril and don't plan on starting now.

Several places in NYC have done this, and they don't last more than a few months. I don't use plastic on vacation either, so they won't get any more of my business. Once they see the negative impact on business I'm sure they will reconsider.
LOL.... and you know it will !!!

Personally, I prefer to only use my card. I realize here are issues but I would rather hold onto a card than a pocket full of cash. As far as I know water will not damage my card, at least based on how many times it has went thru the wash.

Good to know, and since we'll be staying there next March this wont be problem for us. I assume they'll do like Coco does and run your card with a certain charge limit for charging everything onsite to your room. Wonder if they'll allow cash tips?
Treehouse will let you run a tab to your room and settle up at the end of the day or at checkout. This will more impact their walk up business from the beach of non staying visitors. During peak season I'm not so sure they even want that business as they're generally fully occupied and charge non staying guests to come on premise. The move will drive ex-pats and seasoned vets to other spots but like I mentioned I don't think they care all that much as their focus is really on guests staying there which should work out well for you.
Lol, for sure. It's not a question of if but a question of when.
