Misleading Thread - Negril Beach Club Resort & Negril Beach Club Condos

[Rob]

No I didn't ask her, I asked you. It's obvious she needs to try a little harder though. You think Chris at Seastar would allow this to continue? Harry at Catcha? No sir. If she had the passion that you have put into protecting her on this thread she could fix this. Might take some time, but not as much time as has gone by with this nonsense happening. And Rob if someone was hijacking your domain name you and I know you would pursue it till it was a non issue. As I said, the beloved Jean needs to try harder.

Booger,

Please understand that there are laws involved here. The Negril Beach Club Resort in one name, and the Negril Beach Club Condos is another. Your specific reference about my domain being "hijacked" is something I have dealt with for years. And there are sitautions under the law that I cannot change. There have been many sites over the years with variations of "negril.com" in their name. Some were created to be confusing on purpose to use our success to their benefit. I felt it was very unfair and potentially illegal. But I was wrong. Under the law, there was nothing legally I could do about those confusingly named websites. That is reality in this matter.

The name that I know the NON-timeshare units at that property is the Mariner's Negril Beach Club. Perhaps they legally changed the name to the Negril Beach Club Resort. But when humans are involved, mistakes can happen. If the name wasnt legally changed, and the 3rd party websites mistakenly refer to the property as the Negril Beach Club Resort - this would now be up to the 3rd party to change in their own time frame.

It is interesting that you bring up Harry at Catcha. There was a mistake in the listing on TripAdvisor when the Catcha Falling Star Gardens opened. It didnt seem like much at first, but that mistake took over a year to correct. There were multiple mistakes done and redone by TripAdvisor, information was lost and resent over and over, but the situation is finally resolved. It took literally hundreds of emails and calls to resolve this matter. When a 3rd party has no real interest in making sure things are correct, it can take a long time to make sure that things are correct.

In a perfect world it would be simple. But this isnt a perfect world.

Glad you mentioned Catcha's issues as it's a great example of Jane's persistence. She shared the story with me on my last reach, hence why I felt compelled to add my two cents to this thread. Maybe Jane can share with Jean the steps it takes to get it done....Katho, I'm not one to go on the web to argue with anyone. I just cannot believe I am still reading about these mix ups. Tons of folks have had their vacation get off to a less then desirable start because of this.
