Re: 4th trip to jamaica, first time NOT at an AI
Love doing Negril non-ai.
Eat your meals at a different place every time, on the beach, across the road form the beach, up on the cliffs or in town. So many places to enjoy! Pub crawls on the beach or up on the cliffs (or both) or off the Cliff road, or again, in town.
Enjoy!

The only thing i add is a hearty endorsement of Bigga's....not to be missed! Congrats on ditching the AI...you will never go back.

You may be pleasantly surprised, RN. We stopped doing AI about 5 years ago, decided last year to do a week at couples... And hated it. I wish you a fantastic trip.

Kenny's will stop on the way to Treehouse. Last time we stopped in Lucea at a grocery for supplies. Ask Treehouse for a mini fridge 5$/day. They also have lots of ice. Bring a soft shell cooler. They exchange $ at a good rate at front desk. Enjoy your Buffett breakfast. Lots of good choices on menu at Treehouse and on site fruit and patty vendor or stop one of the beach vendors at lunch. Close by is Juicy J's with inexpensive Jamaican meals, Ossies for outstanding jerk pork, and of course Best in the West for famous jerk chicken. Chef Allen's (singing chef) Jerk chicken is a must, at the jerk pit on the beach, at Treehouse. He's almost famous!!

Mark & Deana,
I am giggling at your 1/4 brownie tip. So true! I learned the hard way!
