Unfortunately not - I was really surprised that the hotel (Fairmont Southampton) had no wireless Internet - they did have ethernet (although I had no crod with me), and the charge was $5 for each connection, $0.20/minute.

I'd loaded Fring on my phone with Skype and spent an hour walking around downtown Hamilton before giving up and buying the Digicel. I figured my wife calling me on Skype @ $0.12/minute and me paying $0.25/minute was not that bad for mobility. I was able to text her for $0.25 to call me.
