I would have more concerns about this than just going to the club on my own. IF you have a long time relationship with someone local and can ask them to keep an eye on the kids, that's one thing. Asking people if you can pay them to keep an eye on your kids could attract some unwanted attention. If you are feeling this way, I'd say skip the club all together. There is live and dj music every night of the week on the beach from 10-2. The only thing the jungle has going for it is that there is a cover fee, so the guys who can't, don't, or won't pay to get in are all at the free venues like Bourbon Beach. in my 28 nights in negril, I've been to the jungle 2 times. Not something I have to do every visit! Concerns about going to Roots, Alfred's, and Bourbon Beach are simply getting a car home, which is easy enough. 18 year olds can be two kinds of kids... kids who just want to hang out and have fun, or kids who want to get smashed because they can drink alcohol in public... you know the kids. If they need supervision, perhaps they shouldn't go out alone. If they are young and pretty, they will get attention from a lot of bystanders, at all hours of the day and night.

I think my question was stated a little wrong. As a mom I would feel better if they had someone driving and escorting them to different clubs and bars for a night. Not thinking of some random person just to pay off the street. Was more thinking of one of the preferred drivers on this site and thought maybe someone has gone and had one of the drivers escort them for the night.

mjc, have a perfect driver for you, He has been my driver / friend for years, and is very trusted and used by many boardies here, during the late April boardie bash. H e would dress casual , and make sure your kids got to and from, and would be able to guide them with advice. As far as price on this, this is something you could work out and negotiate. If you are interested, message me and I will get you all info.

Mjc...this is super easy to do.
If you have a relationship with a driver ask them to take the kids around town or your driver can arrange with someone else to take them...just a reminder to make sure the driver is legal/red plated.

Thanks everyone for the info

Been a few years since I was a single guy in Negril, but I always thought the Jungle was tame compared to Scrub a Dub...

Some excellent suggestions on this thread for single guys! Hopefully they remember it when the rum starts flowing and the crowd starts swaying!! LMAO

Enjoy,

I think JoJo has the best idea....I would NOT just take a driver's recommendation for another driver unless you had a long standing relationship with the driver......I would strongly recommend due diligence

Rob's advice is sound. I know adult couples who take a wing man with them to crowded venues at night.
