We usually stay in a beachfront verandah suite at CSA (which is exactly like an ocean verandah suite except for the location). A few years ago, we got to stay in the Greathouse. On the one hand, we...

There is nothing more romantic than having a couples massage at CSS in one of the outdoor huts that is on the cliff. There is something about the cool breeze and listening to the waves crash that is...
You can save a lot of money by opting for a garden verandah suite vs. a beachfront verandah suite. The rooms are almost identical except for the proximity to the beach. And even then, the GVS rooms...
Every time we've been there (January and February time frame), the snorkeling times are 11:00, 1:30 and 3:00.
Bob got stung by a jellyfish a few years ago in January at CSA during a snorkeling outing. So they are there. However, the good news is that neither one of us has been stung on our past few return...
When Continental and United merged, they warned people weeks ahead of time that there could be scheduling glitches on the day that the computer systems (think reservations and ticketing) were merged....
I am a frequent business traveler, mostly on USAirways. Based on my experience, it is not the size of the carry-on that is a big deal, but rather the number of carry-ons. They are fairly strict on...
When we were there in February, they had bottled "Wata" in the room fridge. Everywhere else, it is by the glass.
Pretty much every place will take U.S. currency. However, if you go on the One Love Pub Crawl, you might want to get some JA currency, since many of the bars are small and will give you change in JA...
If you really want to get the flavor of CSA, go to Patois for lunch. Not many people make the effort to go there (you need to have on dry clothes for one thing, not just a bathing suit and pareo). ...
Yup, we noticed this in January. However, if we saw chairs with crumpled towels only (and no personal effects), we just assumed that the chairs were available. But it would be nice if folks would...
Chris - I am really hoping that they give up on the life vest for snorkeling concept. We typically snorkel every day at CSA (weather permitting). In February, we only went twice and just snorkeled...
Softail - thanks for posting the review. I agree completely about the One Love Pub Crawl. I'm glad we did it in January, but it was much longer than people had said it was. We got back at 7:30,...
Hi Yookster - I loved the tuna melt at the Cabana Grill, too! They did a nice job revamping that menu from last year. I thought that Feathers had some fairly decent house wines when we were there...
Thanks for your detailed and well written review. That's funny about check-in. I have to admit that I've learned to leap off the bus and head straight to registration while Bob takes care of the...
Thank you for taking the time to post such a detailed and well written review. We love the ambiance at Lemongrass, but agree that the menu needs a shakeup. We are spoiled since we have several Thai...
I always bring a small beach bag. Bob puts the key card in a baggie that we bring from home and I put that in the beach bag. Since we've been using this method, we have not had an issue with the...
You can bring back as much alcohol as like; you just have to pay duty (tax) on any amount over the limit.
Softail - when we were there in February, we thought that the service and food had been stepped up a notch. We ate twice at Feathers and both meals were flawless. Please keep posting!
The credit is per couple. We love using our credit at the spa and in the gift shop.
KJW - yes, you still check in at the Couples Lounge. We have always had time to have a cold Red Stripe and use the restroom.
I like that tips are included. We went to a perfectly lovely all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic, but tips were not included. I didn't dare approach the bar unless I had a dollar bill on me. ...
When we were at CSA in 2012, it did seem like the swimming area had shrunk. This past January, when I went out to the rope, I had to tread water (I'm 5'5"), so it seemed much wider. I think a lot...
TimAir may or may not save you time after your arrival. Two of the three times we have taken TimAir to Negril, we had to wait for a plane (even though we had made our reservation ahead of time). ...
We stayed at CSA in February. While it is true that the Palms has added a buffet on Wednesday night, we were told this was to expedite seating so that they could accommodate the large crowds for the...
