Hi there.....
I have booked to go to Negril for 2 weeks at christmas and new year time...i am going to be staying at the sunrise club....
I have read a fe things on the inter (after id booked), that have worried me a little...
Will i be safe in Negril, as i am going to be a lone traveler??
Is my accomodatin situated in a good spot for thing to see and do??
Any help would be apprciated ...
Thank you in advance
Be smart, be safe, don't do things you wouldn't do at home!
I am going to Negril for my third time solo next month. I love it!
I believe sunrise is right across from Bourbon Beach, a major night spot. Pretty much anything on the beach road is walkable. Late night, grab a taxi for convinience. So much to see and do. Negril will be bustling around the holidays!
Use common sense as you would traveling to anywhere!
Thank you so much .....i had read some bad stiff onthe internet about the place etc...i as worried.....im really just going for rest and relaxation....but would defo be looking into some excursions etc ....yve put my mind at rest tho..so thank you
What is concerning you? We can give more detailed advice given specific concerns.
It's not to say that Negril hasn't had its problems, or that things don't happen, but for the average tourist, you'll never see that side of the community.
For me, Negril is a great fit. I hope you let yourself relax and enjoy!!! As soon as you are in your car heading to Negril, you can relax and from there, you will be alright!
garry the sunrise bartender makes the best margarita in negril!
never stayed at sunrise but ate enough times and checked out their rooms/cottages.
ask to stay in the back of property, much quieter. front rooms have street noise.
lovely place with family living right on sight.
italian owners.
great food and drink.
you can park yourself at bar b barn across the road or bourbon for the day. perfect spot, cambio across the road, two stores, times square for shopping.
I have been going to Negril solo for many years and have never really encountered much trouble. I am careful at night and use a driver I know NOT a route taxi. I go all over and do use route taxis during the day (when it is not a busy time, work, school etc). Just use common sense and you will be fine. Enjoy and go back. LOL
Thank u for the help and info
I had read there was problems with prostitution and drugs....also theft....and homophobia......i just want to be sure ill be safe but you have settled my mind..thank you
Those 4 things are present. The first two will be offered to you. Theft - in what way are you concerned? Don't let anyone into your room, keep valuables locked up or hidden. Don't carry a lot of cash, leave credit cards and ID in your room (hide it if they don't have room safes). Homophobia, don't do anything out of God's created order in public, nor be known for it.Quote:

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.... Do what Lola says! None of those things are specific to solo travelers, mind you. Any and all visitors are subject to those four specific things. And like Lola says, if you take care of your items, you won't have any problems.
I've never had anything stolen, but I have had something returned! My iPod fell out of my pocket in a taxi and the driver came back to give it to me. Not exactly an anti-theft story, but the majority of people you will meet are warm, inviting, and whpant to make sure you are having a good time.
i just stayed solo at sunrise club for 5 days....like said the back rooms are much quieter....the owner is on property and his family are always around...safe in the room, access to the pool next door at coral gardens, beach access at bar b barn...tip michael dendy, the day beach security at bar b barn and he will look after you for your stay....if you didnt think you would b offered drugs or prostitutes, you didnt research your trip at all...just say no....i loved the sunrise club...times square for shopping next door, two convinient stores also next door...new years eve is a blast....
Thank u for all ur help..the information has been great....im feeling better about the trip now, i just have to use common sense... ��
