Next stop for companion and I was Mariner's Negril Beach Club. We were not expecting much. Our budget for this trip was $60 per room per night. My pre-trip research showed most of the other resorts in Negril to be many times this amount. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if this resort was ON the beach of just NEAR it. Either way, we didn't care, we would be there and the price was right. As we pulled up I noticed the exterior of the resort showed its age. Ditto for the lobby. What a surprise when they brought us up to our room! Beautiful, polished, hardwood floors leading into a living room with a modern sofabed, side chairs, coffee table, ceiling fan and a large flat screen TV. The next room was the bedroom with a king size bed, large bureau and wardrobe closet, and a wall of wooden shuttered doors leading out to the balcony with table and chairs. A walk from our room through the landscaped grounds brought us to a perfect – yes, perfect, Caribbean beach. Soft, soft, white sand and perfectly smooth, warm, clear turquiose water. Turns out there was also WiFi in the lobby, 2 “mini-mart” type stores on site, a pool, a spa, a beach bar, a restaurant, and several small boutique stores. WOW. Not bad for $60 a night.
