Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the most?

I'm sure NOBODY ever heard of it.........
mid to late 80's right across from Heartbeat, was a little -LITTLE cook shack called Dino n Zolas, couple of doors from Jennys
we adopted both of them..dirt floor, 1hr cups of coffee, hrs for a meal, but we loved it.one year we paid for a floor lol
( I cant recall Zolas mother but she still has a shop and Zola works for her, she is known for Lobster, further on W End Rd)
this is the place I got my "Rambo" street name...too funny........read our blog, the story is there....and if I can did out thousands
of photos from that time period, Im sure many photos are from the area....

Zola' s Mother was Erica Jackson, now passed. Reds Lynch also had a ting going. Kool Brown was one of the Roots Negril originals along with his Sista Miss Millie who still does fresh squeezed Orange juice. There were the Conley's at Ocean Edge. They all grew together. All good Roots Negril people.

I miss For REal, I was talking about it just today

I Miss Miss SIng's food and Mr. Chin and Treehouse, he died you know.

I also Miss Negril Palm Beach hotel and Mr. Irving, who is also deceased.

What happened to that bar, The Pink Lady or something like that???

There were Papa Lawrence's Cottages and Cantina just west of the Loveboat. When my late Husband built his home at the highest point on Westland Mountain in those days he said Papa Lawrence had the only trowel in Negril. He would borrow it every morning and then return it by sunset just as he had been taught from the Bible to do. Both him and Reds Lynch had to build the roads up to their properties with the help of their younger neighbors around them by pounding down the limestone with sledgehammers. Many of them are still there.

Papa Graham who was born on Westland Mountain had a shop almost directly across from the Loveboat known as Spanish Town. It was a hot spot for all the old time domino players around Mary's Bay. He passed in the late 2000's and it is now a Cash Pot Shop. He was known for selling flavored shaved ice cones from his bicycle.

Mr. Carbon' s house Sat where the German Bar is and he was well known for his archetectural skills. He built the Seawall down beyond Matrix Corner before the Hi Lo. He also baited sharks off the point of Mary's Bay and sold the oil. He is buried in the road right in front of the German Bar. My Husband quite often commented how cars were driving over him everyday.

I could not believe that a new owner would come in and knock Negril Palm Beach down, and then leave a big hole in the ground! It had a special charm, and Sharmie was a wonderful manager.
