Tensing Pen Brides

Hi Ladies,

I am planning to get married in Negril in November 2009. Looking for another location on a tight schedule ... yikes!

The Tensing Pen looks like an absolutely amazing wedding venue but the only drawback is that only a few rooms have AC. I was wondering if any brides that have had their weddings there have had any complaints from guests re:no AC?

Hi,

I have not stayed at Tensing Pen but my wedding will be there... I have visited Jamaica and the Tensing Pen property in December and April. Jamaica is what I think most Americans from the north consider hot all year round, but at night is when you need the A/C and Tensing Pen is surrounded by the ocean and has breezes that flow through the rooms, many of which are shaded by trees. Both of those things make the A/C less necessary. I have some guests who can't imagine being refrigerated at all times. They also could not imagine not having a TV, Tensing Pen does not have phones or TV's in the rooms. Nearby Rockhouse is a good alternative for those guest who must have A/C.

I prefer not to have the A/C and have never had one in my home.

I haven't stayed at Tensing Pen, but I stayed at the Caves which is right up the road - also on the cliffs. We did not have AC in our room, and never missed it. At night, we actually closed the windows because it was cool. The resort I got married at also did not have AC. If you are on the water, most places in Jamaica don't need it...
