I think I have my choices narrowed down to either Wild Parrot sea view or Bar-B-Barn. It will be my DH and I. We are going in late October. This will be our 4th trip to Negril and we have not stayed at either of these before. We have stayed at Idle Awhile on our honeymoon, then Fun Holiday and lastly we stayed at Grand Pineapple. We like to go to the live reggae each evening. Help me decide.
I personally recommend Travellers Beach Resort - it's very nice; hot showers; safe in room; good beds; air; balcony; very secure; great food and nice pool. Very very reasonable prices and the hotel itself is family owned and they are involved with community improvement which is very impressive.
If it were me I would choose Wild Parrot over BBB based on location.
Across the road on the Morass side from Bar B barn is the Coral Seas garden Resort.
Very, very nice and super clean.
All rooms have 2 beds and Ac, cable TV, maid service daily, and a nice swimming pool.
Many food places very close to that area.
The Coral Seas Garden is surronded by Bamboo Trees and all kinds of plants. Hence the name "Garden"
It is family owned too.
Many different types of rooms. Some with a kitchen too.
Tell them Markospoon sent you and you will get a great deal.
It is my 2nd home and I have stayed there twice a year for about 12 years.
The housekeepers are so nice!
The rooms are sanitized and kept clean.
When you call, ask for Junene.
Enjoy!!
Both BarBBarn and Coral Seas Garden are within walking distance to the 4 main venues for live reggae on the beach - Bourbon Beach (next door to BBB), Alfreds Ocean Palace, Roots Bamboo and The Jungle Nightclub. For good food, BBB is great, Bourbon Beach has fantastic jerk chicken, Coconuts International is 2 doors down from BBB on the beach and has excellent Jamaican food at very reasonable prices, and Alfred's has one the best Jamaican breakfasts in Negril (and great fish and chips for lunch or dinner).
Wild parrot 100% location
I was all set to go WP, but being close to the night action would be my main reasoning for BBB. We don't mind walking the beach though, so I am still leaning towards WP.Quote:
