“Great Holiday”

Seasplash Negril

21 Feb 2008

We stayed 7 nights in a junior suite at Sea Splash. I had asked for an additional bed but the king size bed was big enough for our 2 year old son as well. The bathroom could do with some work and we found that we had to wait about 15 mins between each shower/bath before the water would be warm enough again.

I would definitely recommend it, the staff are very friendly and helpful with our restaurant bookings. The weather was great for our 7 days, only raining during the evening when we arrived.

I think the location is almost perfect, in the middle of the 7 mile beach with patty and fruit stalls on the beach front close by. There is even a fruits lady who sits on the beach at Sea Splash usually everyday.

If you walk out of the hotel onto the road, turn left and walk about 100m, there is also a small grocery stall and a restaurant called Cool Spot which the locals eat at. The menu changes every day and main meals come with rice and peas for about 6 USD, however almost all the choices are spicy (even when told it isn’t).

For convenience, we ate breakfast at Normas restaurant every day but I think it is quite expensive as it cost 6 USD for a bowl of cornflakes! Try the fish burger from the lunch menu and the pesto linguini with shrimp from the dinner menu.

We also went the Rock House, Xtabi and LTU restaurants, all on the cliffs in the West End and are good for watching the sunset. We also tried Kuyaba (?) along the beach and it was the only restaurant which offered kids meals. All served good food but Rock House was probably the best. Also most of the restaurants offers free pick up from your hotel although the taxi drivers expect a tip and they usually hang around at the restaurant to take you back to the hotel (expect to tip).

We took a child car seat with us but unfortunately most of the taxis are pretty old and either do not have seat belts at all or they were broken but having said that, all the taxi drivers that we had were very considerate and did not drive like some of the maniacs that you will see on the roads there.

There are several glass bottom boats near Sea Splash offering snorkelling on the reef. We went with Shelton for 20 USD each for about 1.5 hours. His boat is usually moored just a little up the beach (if the sea is on your left hand side.). We found it was usually calmer in the morning. It is worth going as there is plenty to see especially when they feed the fish.

Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves.

“A Beautiful Property With That "Jamaican Feel"”

2/2 found this review helpful

My wife & I are "Jamaica-Lovers" and we have returned there many times in the last 18 years. We like to find a nice resort and then stay with it. Several years back we stopped staying at our regular place due to extenuating circumstances and "moved" a few doors down. It was clean,reasonable,etc. but to us it lacked that "feel" you seem to get at what I'll call a traditional Jamaican owned/Jamaican run property. So we looked around during our 2007 trip and came upon Seasplash. We looked at a suite or two and they looked good. The staff we met seemed really nice but it was the property itself that really grabbed us. Lush, tropical,and not "over-manicured" like so many are these days. From the moment we arrived for our 2008 visit we knew we made a good choice. Everybody, from the gardener Milton all the way up to their charming general manager,Julian Chang were professional,friendly, & helpful. I am very pleased to have again found a place that I intend to return to each time I visit Negril. (at least once a year I hope !) And before I forget, the restaurant there is world-class ! Called Norma"s, it's a must stop for the evening meal. A sincere thanks to Julian & Staff ! Cary & Elizabeth Adelman. Chicago, Il. USA

“thank you to all at Sea Splash for another wonderful holiday”

Seasplash Negril

7 Jan 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

we have just returned from another wonderful holiday at Sea Splash. Perfect location, we love the beach life. the bedrooms are a little tired but this doesn't matter when you have such a pefect stretch of beach right in front of the hotel. the bar has such a great atmosphere and our kids loved the pool and we loved the jacuzzi. special thanks to tamara and lance (malcolm) whose quick thinking (and driving) helped save my 8 year old son's life when he suffered from a severe allergic reaction to peanuts. always in their debt and we will never forget their kindness.

“Beware!”

4/5 found this review helpful

Stayed here this past week, it was WORST RESORT we have ever stayed at. As stated in another review, staff was VERY unfriendly and only cared about our money. We booked for 6 nights and on the 5th night they said that they had booked the room for someone else and they had to move us. Both rooms were shabby inside...Lighting was poor, cable didn't work for 3 out of the 6 nights, water heater leaked all over kitchen and the bathroom looked like it had been through a war. The staff didn't leave us any info in our room about what activities, dinning or hotel services were offered. Very unhappy with our first stay in Negril. The pictures posted on the web-site are not real! Please your self and stay away.

“STAY AWAY”

3/4 found this review helpful

We stayed there for a wedding Nov 9-10, 2007. We had reserved four rooms for our family. All were dilapidated and lacked even basic maintenance.

The entire staff gave us the distinct impression that could not care less whether we were there or not. Forget such basics as a warm greeting and be prepared to be ignored when you need help with your bags.

Air conditioning works in about half the rooms. If you are lucky enough to find the secret switch in your room that turns on your water heater you might eventually get a few minutes of hot water but don't count on it. It would have been nice to have someone at check in tell us about the secret switch but they were too busy making sure we filled out the security form for our television remote control.
the place could be great if someone spent a lot of money to redo it and then got a new staff who cared even a little bit.

Restaurant service was just as poor although the food when you finally got it was sometimes quite good.

I've never written a negative review before, but I sure wish someone had warned me. See my review of Moon Dance where we spent the next week to see what Jamaica can be.
