An Angry Letter to Jimmy Buffett

[Jody]

I must say that I totally agree with Nick's letter.
I was at Margaritaville in Negril, at the end of October. The mountain of nachos that we used to order as a meal, was about half the size and 3 dollars more. There were no shrimp of any kind.
Burgers had shrunk. We found that in the last year or two (we've been going for 10 years), the quality has gone down as much as the prices have gone up. Its too bad, because it seems to have become a tourist money grab restaurant. We used to defend it, saying that it was great "recognizable" food, at reasonable prices... for people who are not used to Jamaican fare, its sometimes nice to have a good old fashioned burger. Not anymore. I agree, Jimmy must not be aware, or he'd fix it. Now its mostly hype.

It seemed to me that it always had these characteristics, the few times we tried food it was not close to being a value, we often stay nearby at Country Country so we walk by there several times a day and the only plus to it is people watching especially the line of vendors at the edge of the loungers when Margaritaville is packed from the AI buses

I've always hated the bathroom setup there
