Thread: Hotels for parents???

What hotels are close to the school??? My mom will be traveling with me down to the island and we figured it will be a good idea for us to have hotel reservations before we actually get there. So I am asking people who have been there already to give me some names of hotels that are close by to campus. Any info about the hotels would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

This year you're going to have your luck cut out for you. Now you have to call each hotel and see if they are up and running. Don't trust what their website says. I wonder if Bayshore would be able to give you a list of hotels that they know can house parents for that weekend. Here's some previous threads on the topic of hotels. Once again, damage reports are not readily available, although Rex and Grand Beach are probably safe bets (since they are rumored to be housing 1st termers).

My parents are staying at the True Blue Bay Resort. It is close to campus (or so we have been told) and they already have reservations. We are all going down on the 3rd and they are leaving on the 8th. Hope that helps.

True blue bay resort is about the only hotel you can walk to campus from (~15min walk, sidewalk the entire way). Everything else requires a taxi (quite expensive IMHO, ~25-35EC depending on distance) or catching the school bus. Not to say that i haven't walked to the Rex from campus, but i wouldn't recommend it.
