However, I know most of the rooms are newly renovated. I was actually in a room that was not yet renovated but thought it was fine. Clean and enough space. Cleaning service even left us a flower on the bed! I had a great time there. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a constant supply of new towels and plenty of beach chairs. The one negative thing was that their shuttle overcharged me. My first ride out to the cliffs they charged me USD 15 each way. Stupidly I took it once. Across the street there are taxis that permanently station themselves there. They charged me USD 8 each way.

All of this can be seen on their website or try visiting :Negril Jamaica - Negril Onestop Jamaica Resorts and choose cliff resorts to see more. This site also list the wedding package options and prices, very helpful if comparing. I stuck with Tensing because I thought the rooms looked a little 2 starish. I didn't want my guests to travel so far to stay in a two star resort. I liked that it was artistic and different, but still did not feel that it was nice enough to hold the wedding. You may, of course, feel differently. I looked into tensing pen too after I saw some georgous photos - however the drawback that I can't get over is the fact that the rooms have no AC!

I was at CoCo LaPalm last week. I loved it for vacation. Not sure that it would be great for weddings because there wouldn't be much privacy on the beach. I am looking into Negril Escape for my wedding.

I just came back from Jamaica. I'm not 100% sure the hotel I passed was yours but I think it was. The driver told me it was almost done due to open next month. the exterior looked completely done. Couldn't say about the inside. Sorry I don't have pics!

thank you!

sorry - stupid question but what does ROR stand for? I'm new to this site..

thanks everyone! actually i do not have the ring yet either - i know it's coming soon so far i have two places in mind - tensing pen and rockhouse hotel in negril jamaica. I've been doing some research to fine out more. Are any of you getting married there?

Hi just wanted to introduce myself - I hope to get married in Jamaica and do not have a date yet.. I found this forum while i was trying to find more info about resorts on the web.
