And I want to note, the bartenders at Xtabi are all awesome and that is so great whoever it was gave you back your money! I am not surprised to hear it. So we've been staying on the cliffs the past several years but decided it was maybe time to try the beach again. June is very quiet (we were the onl people staying at Citronellas last June) and we're looking forward to it. We have the 2nd floor of the Veranda. Does 2nd floor have an outdoor shower too? Were you on the top or bottom Veranda? I really hope so, I love outdoor showering :) As for 3 Dives, yeah, sometimes you can wait a couple hours for the food. One time it came out in like 10 mins and we almost had a heart attack. I guess it depends on how busy and how ready the food is. No matter where we stay, we always eat at 3 Dives at least twice a trip and the chicken and rice is always amazing. This trip I'd like to try Quality, Sips and Bite, Swordfish. And maybe the Fish and Chips at Alfred's. We always drink there but have never eaten. We usually stay by Catcha and Citronella area. Excited to be back in Xtabi hood to go to all those restaurants. You report and pics are great, I am so psyched to be back there in our home away from home.
I agree JoJo... I've even written reviews on tripadvisor about BB... I've stayed away for over a year and a half now...Quote:

Ever72- I am pretty sure the veranda suite upstairs also has an outdoor shower, not sure how that is arranged exactly. Sure is a sweet spot. We were on the first floor, open your door and walk on the beach! Enjoy your June trip and do share your adventures!
The sun had not yet totally set. We decided we were going to Ricks. I am not sure why, on past trips, we have avoided going. I grabbed a red stripe light to go and we got a cab -same driver we had used a few days before...this guy kind of scared me, the speed at which he drove and whipped us around the West End. Good thing I had a few drinks first.
Pulling into the lot, I felt like we were at a big tourist spot. There were alot of buses, taxis and security. Note the sign at the entrance: No lobster, or ganja, food or drinks. Oh, and no smoking.

And security telling me, "no, you can't bring that Red Strip light in that you just got at 3 Dives".

So I in general thought Ricks was a great stop. I was impressed by all they have going on. Being in the insurance biz, I wondered how much they pay for insurance, with the location, past flooding, and cliff diving. Wonder why I even think of these things on vacation! One of the guys playing with the band had been playing at Roots the night before. Seems to me that alot of the musicians there play the same Negril circuit. I was hoping to catch some cliff divers but we didn't see any. boo. We did however, see a "Close Talker"- Seinfeld reference here.
