Limo Mon's Palms review

[Limo Mon]

After the the Fun Holiday boot Our stay at the Palms was great. Bank had taken control and they worked daily to remodel the office and make other repairs. Room was Fine for Negril beach room can use some up dating. Beach is small, when High tide hits no beach. Staff , security and food was great. Food was over priced.
Pool leaked and was dirty. Pool Mon said, It leaks in the side wall and he can't keep enough water in it to clean the pool. Hot water was very limited (trikled out most times). Cold water was fine. If the price is right ( about 60 us A night ) I would say go for it. Limo Mon

We have friends staying at the palms next month, I hope they won't be disappointed! They usually stay just a little down the beach.

Yah, when I hung at Palms I remember they had high dollar drinks but were good but yeah the pool was nasty.

What a shame that place went down hill ............ we last stayed a Donaldson's right next door a couple of years ago and the Palms looked first class ............ pool was clean, bar was great, decent food specials, etc.......... things never stay the same in Negril ................. that is why this message board is so special ........... the latest info is always just a few key strokes away ................ THANKS ROB and Lisa ! ! !

they won't let you stay at one place and then they send you to a foreclosure to stay at.......
glad you were so positive about the whole situation......
mi imagine the bank is only going to fix it up so far as to sell the place.......
sometimes it is so important to know the current runnings about a place before you book...

Cool Runnings, Marko

that is surprising about the palms--I remember after the renovations a few years back it looked totally upscale. I was never drawn to it for some reason.

They were sending overbooked people to Merrils when we stayed at F.H. a few weeks back.

Its a shame that The Palms has gone down hill. We stayed there for a day a few years back and it seemed pretty good.

My problem with the Palms (and other places, for example Push Cart) is that they charge U.S.$ for the drinks at the bar.
I don't patronize anyplace that charges U.S. for food/drinks. I think it's an insult to Jamaicans
and people who aren't from the States.
I understand accomodations being in U.S. dollars- because that is always paid by credit card.
But when I'm walking around Jamaica with J$ in my pocket and go to buy a drink - when it's priced in US, I'm getting whacked for a double currency exchange. (CAN$ -> Jam$ then US$ ->JAM$) so I simply don't patronize.

Come to think of it, I find it ironic that a place called 'Push Cart' charges in US$

That could be considered an upgrade as well!
