Midiri and Charlie and I would posse up in the morning for a "hotel-hopping" session as I called it, and every day I would pick a new place, where we would ride down on our scooters, have drinks and a meal, and perhaps take a dip in the pool or hang out at the beach.
What great fun.
Today I picked Charela Inn, which I knew was a nice place but I had never been before. It was just me and Midiri on this one. The vibe was nice. A beach musican came up and sang for us, kind of a shorter guy with dreads and a beard who had a slightly annoying habit of shaking his head uncontrollably as he sang; he was OK. Since I knew we would be tipping him, I even asked for a request or two, and he came through - guitar was way out of tune (sorry, I am a pop music journalist in real life), but he was talented.
The meal was not so good, which came as a surprise cause C.I. has a good rep. The garlic bread was no good, the onion rings were only OK (as opposed to Canoe, where they are awesome), and the service was slow, just like 90 percent of the places in Negril.
The pool is especially nice, set in a courtyard surrounded by all the rooms. I would prefer a pool with a seaview, but most like Legends and Travellers don't have this; Treehouse does, however.
