I went to the Bar-N-Barn for Spring Break. The rooms where clean but somewhat dilapidated. It was cheap though so you can't ask for much. The bartender made excellent drinks and the food was very good. I had the jerk pizza and Blue Marlin which where both excellent. The service was usually pretty slow but that's Negril. They also served free breakfast and I waited an hour for eggs. The security was also very good. So the service is extremely slow,rooms need work, but the experience was well worth the few problems.

The only word to describe this hotel is 'disgusting'. We hve just returned Jamaica and spent 2 days at the Bar B Barn hotel.

As it was Easter weekend and most of the accomodation in Negril was booked out. We checked into the hotel and the reception looked nice and fresh and very clean. When we were shown to our room I was horrified.

There was light bulbs missing, the bathroom door was all kicked in. The furniture was damaged and handles hanging off the hindges. The bathroom was the worse bathroom I have ever seen and I have travelled to all over the world. I have to say this was the worse hotel I have ever seen. The mould around the bath was unreal, even the the bed linnen was disgusting and grey in colour from being washed so many times.

This hotel should be totaly refurbished and painted. I would certainly not recommend this accomodation to anyone!!!

Shower didn't work, toilet ran constantly, loud music at night, started the very loud broken washer/dryer at 8 AM that shook the hotel, bugs in the bed and room, depleted restautrant menu (always out of somthing), extremely slow service (waited 2 hours for dinner one night), no fridge, tiny TV, sporadic maid service, 2 for 1 Pina Coladas where one cost you $8 ....what can I say this is Jamaica. All this said this is one of the better spots on the beach and it is a relaxed environment. In a depressed economy worldwide don't expect any deals or value. For all the bad stuff listed we would probably go back, crazy.

After coming from what we thought was a horrible stay on the cliffs the bar-b-barn was kind of a let down too. our room had only a teeny tiny fridge, and no dresser. the slippery tile floors would be covered in sand an salt every day and there were lots of ants. we were supposedly in a room that is typically more expensive than what we paid, it wasnt worth the $80. OUr window was directly outside the kitchen door and wee eould be woken up every morning by the loadmouth "head waitress type" yelling at everyone. The a/c in the room made me wake up every morning congested. the part of the beach where it is is directly next to the lane that goes by barry's. so there are hustlers out there morning noon and night. the bar closed early so at night you couldnt do anytihng but sit in your room. there were plenty of bars in the area but you can only listen to bob marley cover tunes so much. We enjoyed ryan, the day security who would have towels and chairs for us in the shade everyday. also having banana daquiris delivered to our beach chairs right after we finish our morning coffee. But it seemed like alot to deal with to be on the beach. we have some of the most gorgeous beaches right here at home, so there are plenty of good beaches where you dont have to be hassle all the time. its just that theres only so many you can go to in febuary and smoke pot.
