All inclusive or non? That needs to be your first decision.
We are exploring both all inclusive and non options. I've been to Negril a few times and stayed at Sunquest Cottages.
Check out Idle Awhile, Rockhouse, Catcha Falling Star, Couples Swept Away and the Caves. That will keep you buys for awhile!
We've been looking at Couples Swept Away.
Some of the all inclusive resorts seem to booked up for July.
Any thoughts on Country Country?
We talked to folks last month that were staying there and they loved it. 18 or 19 years they been coming to Negril and staying same place. I have never heard anything bad, property looked great when we waked by. Rondel is nice as well
Catcha Falling Star is amazing!!! Staff, food, views you couldn't ask for a better place!
Wife and I did couples swept away in august of 2013 for our honeymon and loved it. That being said, we are going the non-AI route in a few weeks here. Part of me felt like I was missing out on the "real" jamaica doing the AI, however, our week at CSA was one of the most relaxing weeks of my life, especially after all the hectic events of a wedding preceding it. Food averaged 7-8 out of 10, drinks were decent (I drank all the red stripe i could while wife drank dirty bananas and other mixed drinks), room was very nice, beach was great, but the nightly entertainment sucked. 90% of the staff were excellent. Let me know if you have any other questions.
We are really looking forward to our trip to Nirvana soon.
We just returned on Sunday from our 10th stay in the last 15 years at Country Country. We think its a great value at roughly $200/night taxes & breakfast included. My only beef with CC is they will not guaranty a room request as we do have a favorite room. Last week they put us in one of the new cottages which was very nice and the people there are wonderful but that's the norm at places in Negril.Quote:

I love the Atrium Suites there...no tv, quiet location and wonderful hammocks on large semi private decks.If you want non ai on the beach I'd look at Idle While or Idle Awhile Villas(if its in your budget) On the cliffs Tensing Pen is quiet and private... maybe take a look at the Spa Retreat.
Homebrewer~Do the new rooms at Country Country have screens in the windows? I know when we stayed there about 5 years ago there were no screens. No screen is a deal breaker for me now... especially in July with the zika virus.
That is a good assessment of CSA. We were there on our first Negril trip and did the One Love Pub Crawl and saw all that we were missing. We have not done an A/I in Negril since and may never again. I do sometimes miss the total relaxation of that first trip though. It was nice to have everything there and not worry about carrying money and watching out for shenanigans. I thought the food was awesome and drank a bit of everything. The RS was a tad warm and draft at all the bars if that is important to anyone.Quote:

The new rooms at CC do not have screens.
The Spa Retreat is beautiful and quiet. Good food. Great Service. It is on the Cliffs. The have an all inclusive option.
