Hey everyone,

As promised, I was across the pond for the past few days and I have spoken to the manager at the lovely place where I stayed for a bess price on accomodation for those who are interested.

The place is called Hotel Coconut Inn, its on the Store Bay local road....literally 1 minute drive to Store Bay, very convenient, safe and nice location.

The rooms can sleep 3 or 4 persons, a/c, private bath and kitchenette (for the chefs). The 3 person room (2 beds, one queen and one junior) go for TT$500 p.n. and the ones that sleep 4 go for TT$600p.n. That works up to about $170 and $150 p.p.p.n respectively. And I'm sure that for a group I can negotiate something better, since it will be for 2 nights for most ppl, Friday to Sunday.

The only thing is that the hotel has no restaurant facility so you either cook your own food or buy outside. Saltydog, there is a nice area to have the briefing if none has been decided on yet, so let me know.

I created a new thread it would be easy to keep track of any queries etc. So anyone interested please post or pm your name and contact and let me know if its for you alone or for you and someone etc.

I would need to make the booking as early as possible but as I said, the manager and I cool so it ain't no big deal to close the window a few days before the event.

Thanks for this Ralph and sure we are looking for an area for the briefing, as long as they dont mind.Will confirm a little later.

good prices for that area.

No problem Karen. As long as there is sufficient interest and I can book a couple apartments, there should be no problem with that.

I would like in on this, assuming it will become SoloDex HQ in T'bgo!

Hmm, or maybe not...... and there are several reviews like this one. True, it ain't no "dream vacation" we going on, but.... some reasonable reviews too

Bill, I'm looking at this review and the date and I really can't believe that it's about this place! Where I stayed was an entire house on the compound which I give you isn't as new as the apartments (which my wife and I took time to view before we left) but it was pretty adequate to our needs. And as far as I can see, that person was an idiot...who pays up front in full for 4 nights, BEFORE they see a place???

Anyway I took some pics of the place, unfortunately not of the inside of the apartments but all I can say is that my wife was satisfied as to the condition, and she is not easy to please when it comes to those details. I'll post them in a bit and you can decide.

Ralph.

well thats out ..... i just want somewhere clean with a.c and hot and cold water

clean is a must .............

Johnstons Beach Resort
Blue Horizion
Tropikist
Sandy Point

Ralph,

If you think it is OK, then maybe that person just go there at a bad time as one of the other reviewers mentioned - maybe some big fete or event happened that week/weekend and things were in a mess.

I staying where most others are staying though. Hopefully a concensus would emerge soon.

Belleviste was excellent when I stayed there...heated pool was da shiznit
And "The Deep" night club is right across the road

Well, I was just trying to help out with good rates etc. You all are of course free to stay where your wallet pleases. Iggy, did you read my response at all?

i feel alf making ah cut

If anyone is interested Vaughn Callendar's dad can probably organize a group rate at the Golden Thistle Hotel, that's near crown point and a pretty decent place to stay.
PM me if you're interested by Sunday for the latest cause i'll need to confirm a figure with him.

But of course!!! And ah need someone to put it on....you interested?

Grafton kinda expensive to be staying, seeing as most ppl i know going, just need a place to crash after their RCL (Rum Consumption Limit) has been reached and take a shower in the morning

Some pics of Coconut Inn from my camera. You all now judge for yourselves. And @ $150pppn its a no brainer for broke arse ppl like me who deal or no deal, cyah set foot in Grafton and all dem odder posh places.

^^^ place looks nice, and as Razkal said, basicallly ( in my view) all you need is a place to bep, bathe and throw yuh frame to the stadium/lime/beach etc

^precisely. You and the wifey organized already?

i have stayed there before... It was a room downstairs, place was clean, bathrooms were clean, 2 queen sized beds,a/c was working, hot water was working, swimming pool was clean, a lady came and cleaned the rooms every day and i remember seeing a bar type area...
