This Tidbit is 4 Sunset at the Palms in Negril.  ( All Inclusive )

We were in Negril Jamaica not long ago and the resort we stayed at was fantastic.  I found it quite by accident,  the line that caught my eye when I was researching resorts ” Spend your vacation in a treehouse”.  

 Sunset at the Palms is quiet,  clean, good food and the best for me were the daybeds on the balconies.   Each bungalow only had 2 rooms,  no matter where you were  you were unable to really see anyone’s area.

This resort is more for the vacationer that just want’s good food, service and to be able to relax at a very reasonable price.   I read all the reviews on Trip Advisor prior to booking and all but 1 was right on the money.

At this point I am just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

Please feel free to leave me a comment if you would like further info.

Have a wonderful and safe adventure

• The reason they are so valuable is because they help occupy your time during a delay.  We cannot control what is going to happen while traveling to your destination.   While delays due to weather, mechanical problems, missed flights, or being unable to check-in at time of arrival, are not a common occurrence,  the more you travel the more a delay can happen.  Even at that ALWAYS sunny destination.

• Throw a good book in your bag, and although it won’t make the clock tick any faster it does act like a personal time machine.  The 30 minute wait for the meeting to start, three hour wait for the next flight or the afternoon at the pool waiting for the rain to stop can become an enjoyable time.  I won’t say you will look forward to it, but it won’t be near as bad.

• An added benefit is that if you see someone around waiting for that “next” flight, say one of our service members, who looks like they have nothing to do, you can offer your book to them and make their day a little better.  Not bad for only $2!

• If while at the used book store you pick up a couple of children’s books for the younger ones, when that little one behind you starts kicking your seat you can offer him an alternative.  The Dollar store also has toys, and games.   Please remember to ask the parent first as we do not want to upset him more!

Travel safe and enjoy the ride!

• The link below will give you another option so that with a little research you can make sure that you are getting the very best price available.
• Cheap tickets has been around for a very long time.   I would still find the best price and then call the actual provider to see if they will match or give you a lower price, or any of the other annoying inconveniences that come up periodically.  You do not have to worry about paying too much or too little,  the rate of exchange with different currency’s and such.
• Remember though if you do travel out of the USA most countries have a departure tax.  Some countries will only accept cash, and may only accept their currency.

Have a wonderful and safe trip!

• Fees for booking over the phone.There’s an easy way to wean travelers off the comfort of booking flights through a live ticket agent. Charge them extra for the convenience, and change the rules often enough that you aren’t always sure of them in the first place. Booking on  the phone are now charged a handling fee.
• If you need to call an airline for more information or to work out a tricky itinerary, always ask if the flights your agent recommends can be booked online,  if not will they waive the charge?  If you are registered in an airline’s frequent flier program, research the requirements for its platinum program. Many fees can be avoided if you gain preferred status.
• Continental Airlines  today announced changes to its checked baggage policy for customers traveling between Europe and the United States, including U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Customers who purchase certain economy class tickets for travel on or after the effective date will be able to check one bag for free and will pay $50 for a second checked bag. Customers checking in and pre-paying for bags at continental.com receive a $5 discount.Second Bags and Oversize Luggage. Need extra motivation to slim down your packing? That extra bag (or that extra big bag) will cost you.  Several airlines in the U.S. now charge passengers $$ each way for checking a piece of luggage. Don’t pack your one “freebie” suitcase to the brim either; if its weight nudges above 50 pounds, many airlines will charge you an oversize baggage fee. You’ll be charged $50 on Continental, US Airways, Northwest, and American Airlines for bags between 51lbs and 70lbs; for that same weight range.  Fees do vary so PLEASE check with the carrier
  The bottom line: Packing light can save you money and time. By ruthlessly downsizing your usual load, you may find you can even get everything into a single carry-on, which guarantees that your luggage will arrive when you do. Chronic over packers should invest in space-saving packing devices,  such as ” Space bags”  I know that there are different brands out there.  Check out the post about pre-planning and packing
• Seat “Upgrades” in Coach The roomy emergency row seats were the first coach seats awarded special status. Now airlines have gone so far as to identify other select seats that travelers are willing to pay extra for, including seats in the first few rows, aisle seats, and window seats. The bottom line: This is a good thing for last-minute ticket purchasers who might otherwise be relegated to coach’s remaining dregs, but planners who typically grab these better seats well in advance might resent having to ante up. Being an elite member of the airline’s loyalty program helps. On US Airways, for instance, Dividend Miles Preferred members do not pay an additional fee and can grab one of these choice seats right when they book their flight. The flight attendant’s may move people up to balance the plane.
• Fees, Taxes, and the Fine Print When comparing the price quotes of flights on various sites, you may occasionally notice that some sites offer quotes that are noticeably lower than the rest. Often the price quote is the base fare before the taxes and fees that other sites include in their quotes up front. These fees can vary widely; airport charges, known as Passenger Facility Charges, can vary from $3-$18. Security fees, the federal segment fee, the Travel Facilities Tax, and international fees can all also significantly affect your final cost.
• Keep in mind some of these fee’s are set and do not differ.
  The bottom line: Keep those surcharges in check. When reviewing flight options, keep in mind that the cheapest option might be to purchase the flight directly from the airline. Some travel search engines add a non-refundable service fee to their fare offerings. Standby Fees A free convenience that many travelers once took for granted, flying standby, now carries a cost on several major airlines. Many airlines have recently rolled out new “confirmed” standby programs that allow travelers to opt for an earlier (or later) flight without the uncertainty and inconvenience of waiting at the airport. Peace of mind and a confirmed seat are the upside for travelers in a jam, but if you happen to be at the gate of the flight prior to yours already, the decision to pay a surplus fee to board a plane with empty seats might seem unfair, but travelers can also opt to test their luck the old-fashioned way without paying the fee.
  The bottom line:  There are exceptions to every rule. Like the other fees mentioned here, many airlines will drop standby fees for participants of their loyalty programs. You may also find that a friendly attitude on your part goes far with a sympathetic gate agent—so take a deep breath and smile.

Have a safe and wonderful trip!
