We (family of 4 with 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Charela Inn from Aug. 12 to Aug. 18. It is located on a great stretch of beach with soft white sand and palm trees providing the perfect amount of natural shade that we required. The ocean was lovely and warm with a large section roped off for swimming.
The attendant at the beach provided lounge chairs and towels and he also arranged for jet skis for $80 per hour. (When we stayed at the Riu Negril in May of 2007 we paid $120 per hour) He also kept a watchful eye on the hustlers on the beach. When my husband and I returned from a beach walk our teens let us know they had been bothered by a man who yelled at my daughter that he hated Canadians and was insisting on using my son's ipod....before an incident could occur Clive sent the man away rather quickly. It was good to know he was quietly observing everything.
We booked the all-inclusive option and the food at the restaurant was very good... better than the Riu Negril. The waitresses were always very friendly and helpful....accomodations were easily made for our personal tastes with any menu items.
Although I didn't see any of the other rooms, I would recommend the deluxe beach front rooms that we had as they had great views of the beach and sunset with lovely balconies.
One night we had dinner at LTU pub on the cliffs which we enjoyed very much....great view and nice variety on the menu.
We booked TOTTT for airport transfers and a tour of Montego Bay and Mayfield Falls. We used them on our trip in May also and I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. Solomon, Sienna and Gilbert gave us great personal service. With the hurricane fast approaching, Sienna dropped her preparations at home and got us to the airport a day ahead of when we were scheduled so we could get out before it hit landfall. I'm very grateful for her help and just praying that her family is safe and well.
I hope that Charela Inn made it through hurricane Dean without any damage and that everyone is safe and well. Hopefully we will return soon!!
