Thanks Lawny, real nice

Hi ladies, hope you had a great weekend.

I am going down to Negril June 4-8 and my SO is booking our hotel. We were thinking of staying at Rondel Village cause I always thought it looked nice and its at a good location but I was wondering if anyone has ever stayed there??

He wanted to book a gardenside room but not only was the receptionist rude (according to him) but she said the garden side is under construction so only beachfront rooms are available. Has anyone heard of this?

Also can anyone recommend somewhere else in the middle of the beach with similar amenities and also local-friendly?

Thanks!

Mommy, I stayed at Rondel Village last year and loved it. I booked it on hotwire for a very cheap price per night. The gardenside on across the street from the beach. It's right across the street from the Jungle nightclub. The restaurant is very expensive, so I wouldn't recommend it, but there's a place down the street called Cool Spot that have very very good JA food for a reasonable price. Check Hotwire...

Thanks for the info Sunny but Dion (my SO) ended up booking us at Coco La Palm instead. I've never stayed there either so hope its ok, I've read good reviews. I've definitely been to Cool Spot before and the food is good and inexpensive, probably will eat there again this trip.

Coco is very cool. My dad stayed there for my wedding and the staff was very nice. I like it more than Rondell. i think you get free breakfast too. You'll love it!

My night just went to surreal.....a speeding car just hit the for sale sign of one neighbor's house and crashed into the tree on my neighbor (and cousins) front lawn. Then, they ran. Of course, I missed it all cause I was in the tub. I did manage to see all the police, CSI, and the two truck that parked on my lawn to tow it away.

Crazy!

Our crazy story....Damien's car broke down last Friday. It wouldn't start after he ran into a store. He was on his way to pick up my daughter from the train station. I was working late that night so I called AAA thinking the battery needed a jump. We finally had the car towed. Went out to dinner and Target...didn't get home until midnight. We had so many plans that weekend now we have to share a car Walked in the house...no electricity. We've had power shortages for no reasons before so I didn't pay attention until I noticed two of neighbors had lights on. The electricity was closed so nothing we could do until 7 the next morning.

Meanwhile is Damien is pacing the floor then putting up boobie traps just in case someone decides to break in He said he had a bad feeling something bad is going to happen. I'm like - boy, are you crazy...go to bed. Besides, what else could go wrong....

5:35 Saturday morning...someone is BANGING on our door. I'm thinking it better be Pepco (electric company). I'm half sleep when I opened the door...it's

the POLICE asking if I had an Impala. I said no but my neighbor's boyfriend drives one....I drive a Malibu. I was about to close the door when he said I traced the tags to this house and your car has been involved in an ACCIDENT. I said that's impossible because I parked my car right infront of our apartment...I saw my car is sitting on the grass. Someone hit it dead on...knocked it outta the parking spot into another car.

I ran upstairs to wake up Damien. He thought I was playing a trick on him...

Mommy that was me during my second trimester I was painting and do all kind of crazy things. Was still suffering from severe morning sickness though. I went to Jamaica 2 times while I was pregnant. The last time was 6.5 months pregnant (won't do that again). Had to go to a funeral. But towards the end of my pregnancy I had a lot of energy. My grandmother says it's nesting and preparing for what's ahead.

Hey Tre.....

Does Marcel still work at HI? If not, who knows someone that works at Holiday Inn Sunspree in Mo Bay?

I heard rumor all employees got letters stating their services are no longer needed. Andre's mom said she heard they were picketing in front of the hotel in protest and blocking all guests from entering and exiting. She said they called in the police.

Only problem I have with that story is if they fired all the employees, how did they have guests at all? I am thinking maybe they got letters stating WHEN their services would no longer be needed and it coincides with what I heard before.

Anyhow, I need some confirmation and we can't get a hold of Richard. Anyone know anything?

Hey JG --

No girl, Marcel left long ago. He was at the airport for a few months, but his old boss doing the construction work at Ibeorstar begged him to come back. I forgot that he was talking to me about the Holiday Inn situation Saturday night. One of his friends who is a life guard on the beach directly behind the main pool told his boss he was not coming back to work. His boss told him good, because he was going to fire him anyway. Some of his friends said they not being upfront with them and telling them foolishness. I feel sorry for a lot of the employees there. Some of them have been there for many, many years and even though they have other hotels in the area, it's hard to get jobs there, because pepole don't leave their positions at the other properties. Some people get letters, other didn't. I don't understand. Marcel says his friends are fustrated.

Good morning Yardies!!
