Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

******NEWS FLASH*******

Hey Guys,

I just got a piece of sad news...for all of us H. I. peeps. Ken's friend just told him that HI will be closing their doors as of June!

Of course I am sure they will renovate and be back...but that GREAT price for GREAT fun is probably long gone!

Alright, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bless-ed,

Gill

I just received an email from the Director of Sales of the Hol Inn Sunspree Montego Bay. He is currently in Jamaica and he is not aware of the hotel closing or being sold to anyone. He told me that the hotel is in **consideration** of renovating and if that happens it will be Sept for 1 month (because of the slow time). He was very interested to know who started this rumor....I said I just heard from a client of a client...

If I hear of any other information, I'll be sure to forward it to everyone.

Hey Girl,

Link me when you get a chance. I heard that rumor when I was home last month, but I didn't think much of it since so much craziness was going on in my life then. I was in Pier One when I heard some people talking about it when I was eating upstairs. So, I asked my fiance's friends who work there and they said they don't know nothing about that. So, who knows.

[Shemmy 4]

Wonder what renovations they are going to do. The old renovations post-hurricane (was it Ivan?) were fairly impressive.

The old management was #######. They were my biggest problem.

I hope they renovation ALL of the rooms. It's a beautiful hotel and property but I our rooms sucked big time...that's more important to me...

Just received another email from the Sales office...

The hotel was sold to the Hendricks's family (owners of Courtleigh & Sunset). They will be taking 1 block of rooms out at a time in order to renovate the rooms. We have not been told the hotel was closing. For now it's business as usual.

Hope this helps !

I agree. I love the property, but hated the rooms. When my son and I checked in the bathroom was not CLEANED! They told me to wait 2 hours and someone will be up. HECK NO! They put is in the "so called" renovated or "newer" section of the hotel. My son spent 2 days chasing ants, so I was moved back to building 1. My favorite place there is the grill, I can't remember the TALL guy about late 40s dark skinned...soon as I walked by he had my plate of jerk chicken and fries for my son and I. He was so nice. Didn't care for the towel hut lady and the woman in the icecream palour. We had it out.

TOTALLY Off Topic;

Somebody anybody help a sistah out! MY ALLERGIES are making me 100% miserable. Clariten, Alvert, Zytec, I can't even remember the others do NOTHING. I've had 8 people ask me this morning if I'm crying is there anything they can do for me....YEAH! SHOOT MY A$$ the PINK Benadryl works, but it makes me SLEEPY (even if I take 1/2). I just feel like a HOT MISERALBE MESS right now

Tre, I am so sorry your alleries are making you miserable. Last year this time I had the same problem, but a lot worse.... I couldn't go out of the house without me sneezing 24/7. My doctor tried everything including putting me on steriods. Hated it ....weight gain. That didn't work, ....so I booked a trip to the Bahamas, viola........ It worked. I had to leave the Washington/DC Metro area. My allergies last year lasted from January thru June. I was one miserable sister. I do not know what you can take that's over- the counter that will help.....try calling your Doc.(allergy). I'm keeping my finger cross that I don't experience the same thing this year. Good Luck

It amazes me how rumors fly.... and the "truth" gets all distorted. Thank you for that information, I just forwarded to the Sales Dept at HI. Amazing that they weren't "aware" of the details !

Thanks Roxie;

So, you know DC/Metro area is one of the WORSE area for allergy suffers. When I went home last month I was fine as soon as I walked outside the airport. When I got back to Baltimore, it didn't even take 10 mins for it to kick in. I also took steriod injecitons and gained 56lbs! last year. Was not happy at all, but that was the only thing that helped me at the time. I was so congested and suffering with sinus pressure I passed out at PG plaza. Looks like I might have to go back to the shots and my big A$$ don't need to gain anymore weight.

I miss so many of them. And, some, well, I hope I never see again. Anyone who's been there recently.....do you know if Kevan is still at the adult pool?

I just emailed my friend who is the President of the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association.... I'll get to the bottom of this mess!
