Montego Bay Hotels
We've been to Jamaica several times and have always stayed at the adults
only all-inclusives. We are thinking of going to Jamaica 3/23(my husband works for a major airline), since we can go on a non-stop flight from Dallas to MBJ. Any recommendations for smaller (non AI) hotels in Mobay? Preferably on or very near the beach, and near restaurants, nightlife etc. We thought we'd try something different this time. |

It's just around the corner from Buccaneer Beach and right at the start of the main strip. Short walk to Doctors Cave, a little farther to downtown. Toby's has its own restaurant & bar. Others are a short walk away. Do a web search for Toby's Montego Bay and you'll get lots of info and reviews. |

If your husband works for a major airline, have you considered a package deal air, hotel, and car? I'm sure your husband can get the package at a discount. -- ____ Brian M.

I've looked into that in the past. Usually we get very little off the
packages. We fly free and a lot of hotels gives us a decent discount. Although the way flights are booked up lately we may have to start buying tickets! Standby travel is not what it used to be... We may just do some small trips next week instead of heading to Jamaica. "Brian K" wrote in message ink.net...

She's advising people that even with small trips to be sure to make guaranteed reservations. If you opt for Florida, Hawaii, or Gulf States every spring breaker who doesn't own a passport will be in these areas. My 91 yo father didn't heed this advice. He thought he could just drive down to Ft. Myers and rent a condo. The only things available are hotels where you wouldn't want to stay, or ones that they don't want to pay the price for the room. Last night he phoned from the Doubletree Suites in North Naples. To night having exhausted most resorts on the West Coast, he called from some town north of Orlando. He said he was hoping to get the last room in a mom & pop motel in some backwater town. Naturally, we tried everything to prevent him from making this fools journey. But he was very determined to go to the West Coast. I had pulled an ignition cable from his car, little did I know he had spare ones stashed. He left before anyone was up. So folks learn from his mistakes. For domestic travel to "someplace warm" be sure to reserve well in advance of your travel. It might be a good idea to use a TA. They have professional contracts with the major resort hotels and can often dig up rooms when other resources fail. -- ____ Brian M.

We never just head somewhere without having a hotel reservation, years ago
maybe but not now. Because of the standby situation we do however wait till the last minute to make the reservation in case the flights look really bad, or weather acts up. I bought a fax machine a few years ago for this purpose, to fax reservations and receive confirmation for last minute trips. We are probably just going to visit some relatives in Nashville. And/or drive to Austin, TX, which is an easy 3 hour trip. "Brian K" wrote in message hlink.net... On 3/19/2007 6:23 PM Nick and Judy wrote: I've looked into that in the past.

If you are flying into Montego Bay, try this. http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Proper...ca/Default.htm You could spend a fortune at Round Hill, but we were only staying the four-day Thanksgiving weekend. |
