Long time visitor to Negril and saw some good prices at Negril Palms, looking for some insight into what to expect. Safety, rooms, etc.
Stayed there the last 2 Februaries. Like it a lot. Restaurant/bar not the best or worst but great location to explore the million options on the beach. Hi for it!
I highly recommend the Palms. I had 4 visitors there last year.

Bare bones, friendly staff, responsive to any issues you might have (water heater for us). We love that end of the beach, so when we see their specials, we certainly don't dismiss them.
Thanks, Solo, Cap and Chris. I love that end of the beach as well, just didn't know much about the Palms. I might just have to give it a try.
One of the places on my list as well. If you do end up visiting report back so I can know :)
Will do, but looking for February. Won't be for a few months.
Me and Mrs.wee Are headed there in 49 days will report back .
I understand they've done some upgrading. It looked pretty nice before.
I think the prices may have gone up since the renos.
We booked prior so got a great price.
A few things to add to my previous report:Quote:

* The rooms vary greatly. Some of them are quite small and dark. particularly on the first floor. Definitely bring a flash light. The first year we were there we literally could not see in our room, regardless of time of day. I had to bring the suitcase outside to find anything. The nice rooms are quite nice, however.
* For breakfast I'd go next door or down to Cafe Goa down the road.
It sounds like you are referring to Marge & Ossie's Restaurant ( commonly known as Ms. Madge's ) which is located in the yard behind their house. For over 30 yrs it was located on the beach side of the road directly across from Ossie's Jerk Centre and moved across the road into their yard a few years ago. Ms Madge has always served awesome home cooked meals. ( You won't find better kingfish anywhere. )Quote:

I have stayed at $500 rooms and $80 rooms in Negril. I booked the Palms but changed at the last minute. For the price and what you get, I say it's a good deal.Location/oceanfront bar&pool/great store there.
No more Barrys bar though !
We always try to catch a meal at Ms Madge's, and always loved the old family style Jamaican vibe. Preferred the old location across the road but good to see the family is keeping the business going. You have to try Lena's In Thing (at Donaldson's) for breakfast, right next door. Kadina will put a smile on your face and cook you a delicious Jamaican omelette. Also nearby, on the beach side of the road, is Juicy J's. We've had a number of good dinners there - shrimp and mash potatoes was a particular favorite. All good Mon!

Stayed at Negril Palms before and booked again for Feb/March. Rooms were very clean, gardens beautiful and we liked the tables in the middle "courtyard". The pool was kept clean daily and always enough beach chairs. Not the best place for breakfast......slow service but food was good! Too many other options for eating so this did not bother us. Can't wait to be back to visit with good friends.
Thanks everyone, boardies are awesome!
We are booked at NP for Feb, can't wait. Happy to hear the good reviews and can't wait to try the restaurant suggestions. It's the only section of beach we haven't tried yet, so looking forward to comparing. Sounds like we should be happy.
