Planning 4 days in Negril in early December. "Country Country" looks like a good spot from what I have read elsewhere. Any comments or room suggestions?

My family would like to vacation in Negril in December. My kids are 23 and 25. I would prefer staying on the quieter end of the beach( though my kids would prefer the other). I would like to rent a small 2 bedroom house on the beach. I know there are beautiful houses on the cliffs but that is a little far away from the beach. I have found villas that are associated with hotels. Would like any advice possible about renting a villa associated with a hotel or renting a house on the beach. I have found it difficult to find a site for house rentals that have smaller houses. Do i risk getting hassles or theft is I rent a house not associated by a hotel. So many questions and very little answers. Is Negril even worth it?

Thanks Barbara

I am going to Negril the week of the 4th of July. I am staying at Foote Prints. Is it close to the nightlife? Did I make a good choice?

Hi there,

I scored a last minute deal to Jamaica and am leaving in less than 2 days! I am very excited to go, especially since this is going to be my first time in the country!

I am looking for cheap (as in around $30 or less) accomodation in Negril for a few nights. Basic, bare bones is alright, so long as security is good (I'm a female traveling alone) and the location isn't too far away from all the action. I hear near the beach is good, though parts of Norman Manley Boulevard could be sketchy in terms of safety...?

Anyone have any experiences with Negril Yoga Centre? I'm considering staying there and was wondering whether anyone had some experiences to share...

Please advise. Thanks so much in advance...I appreciate any and all the help I can get...

Cheers,
Panthea

I tryed to return your email, but I was told AOL does not accept email from this site.
You can email me at pirate_hideaway@yahoo.com
As for your questions. Sam Sara is not a 5 Star Hotel, but has a lovely location, with bar, restaraunt, pool, and scuba!
White Sands is on the beach road. And has units on both side of Norman Manley Blvd. Many of my friends stay there year after year, and I have never heard any complains.
Blue Cave Castle is my choice. A/C, Cable TV, new beds, and as a bonus, no bar on the premise, therefor no one walking in. Guests only.
Check it at www.bluecavecastle.com

If you are involved in Solidarity work in Negril (eco-internship, health care project, educational research, permaculture, coral reef preservation, etc.), please contact us. We have a humble residence on the Negril's West End available.

Where is a good place for a couple to stay for only one night. We will be visiting schools on the island and only have one night in Negril.

my girlfriend and me are coming to this hotel next year,i have read some very bad ratings about it ,has anyone stopped here recently...thanks...

Can anyone help us as we're going to CocoLa Palm in January
and would like to know where we can Eat/Drink on a Budget.
We don't like to dress up and go fancy but somewhere that it's
safe and fun too. Perhaps, a Chicken Hut on the Beach and a Cold
Red Stripe!! Not into spending $4-$5 American for Beers.
What is a Jamacian dollar worth in American funds.?
Are there any Happy Hours on 7 Mile Beach? Bands?
Anyone that has stayed at Coco LaPalm with any comments would help
us out a great deal too!!!
Thanks in Advance!

Can anyone please let me know any information on the above hotel, has anyone stayed their before? We were due to go to Cancun (Moon Palace) but after hurricane Wilma hit and has basicaly destroyed the resort we have to change desination, can anyone recommend this place in Jamaica????

Would be grateful for any comments good or bad.

Thanks

I am planning on going to the Club Hotel Riu Negril next spring with my family and my sister's family. My sister's travel agent friend is discouraging us-- saying that locals came into the resort she stayed at trying to sell marijuana to her teenagers, and propositioning her daughter. My sister is becoming very concerned about the safety of her 10 and 13 year old daughters. We wouldn't let them walk alone off of the resort (or in many cities in the US either), but do we have to worry about harassment on this resort? Any words of encouragement for my sister who is threatening to back out of our trip?

Does anyone know about any avilable appartments or rooms in the Negril area? I have a tight budget, so preferably not that expensive. I am going to Jamaica for an internship and I am staying for six months.

Thanks

Hello,
CNN forecasts Negril to be partly cloudy at least Aug. 4th and 5th. Anyone know how this translates to actual weather during the day? We were really looking forward to hanging out on the beach all day. Is it normally cloudy this time of year?
Thanks in advance,
PBM

My wife and I are planning to spend our 10 year anniversary at The Caves. We are torn between which room to select e.g. Butterfly, Macka Tree, One Drop etc. We are looking for a one bedroom deluxe suite.

Can any travelers provide us with any room recommendations?

It would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks much - so excited to get on the plane!

I am taking my family to the beaches resort in negril sept 1-10th . How is the weather? Also any tips , pros and cons. My children are 3,7 and 10. Thanks

We are arriving to Montego bay in early June and would like to do a day trip to Mayfield falls. Two adults and two teens. What is the best way to see it? Is $70 per person for a local pre booked tour reasonable or even reccomended? We really don't want to go with a hoard of people. Many ports we find taxis can take us to where we want to go at our own pace and a lot cheaper but I am not sure if that is a good idea in Jamaica due to the last visit to Ocho Rios a few years ago. The ship has no tours to Mayfield anyway so I am looking for help. Thanks.

I'm going to be in Negril for the first time - this Friday! I have literally been counting the seconds. Is anyone going to be there this weekend?!!!

My husband and I are in our early-to-mid 50's, fit and attractive, and are thinking of going to Hedonism II or III in early July. We are into 'looking' but not swinging and we plan to enjoy the au natural areas of the beach and resort. If you've been to either Hedo II or III, can you tell us your opinion and how the resorts compare? Is there any pressure to partake of whatever? Thanks for your help.

We are considering a day trip to Mayfield Falls when we come to Negril in late May. When I read about it, they state that there are natural jacuzzis and areas for swimming. Are these natural jacuzzis 'warm" or are they just like little natural pools. Why would they use the term jacuzzi? Do they bubble? I'm just wondering what to expect because we LOVE the nautral thermal hot springs and would definitely go if that were the case.

We will be traveling to Negril for the first time in the end of May and we were just wondering if Rick's will be open by then. It has always beenone of those "to do before you die" list of things....jump from the cliffs at Rick's Cafe in Negril. I heard it was to be opened in April and would love an update from anyone who's been there in the past few weeks. Thanks!

I posted this to Jamaica and I guess I should have posted this here. Can't teach an old dog....

Anyway, my friend and I - both young 50+ females who have been known to party occasionally - will be in Negril the first week or so in April and plan to partake in some scuba diving, snorkeling and other watersports. As we are novices looking to get our open water certification, can anyone recommend any good PADI instructors and/or dive locations? We're staying at Legends so if anyone is staying there with similar interests and would like to swill several beers, please respond.
