Do it the right way .............. stay at both ............... 4 or 5 days beach .......... 2 or 3 days cliffs
Ibazile...Welcome to Negril.com.
If you can, Capt Oil's suggestion is a good one.
The Negril beach is beautiful, interactive and you can relax or wander about for hours.
The cliffs are peaceful, private and completely unique.
Have an incredible first trip whatever you choose!
What hotel would you guys recommended on the cliffs? I have Coco La Palm in mind for the beach hotel.
The Spa in the cliffs is amazing..prices should be coming down from winter rates if you are down after mid April
The hotels below are my favorite. Very chill! The Staff are so friendly at these hotels which makes the trip that much better!! The Spa is also nice too
Catcha Falling Star - Cliffs
IdleAwhile - Beach
Just my opinion. But we’ve done both.
Cliffs are stunningly beautiful but by day 3 we missed being on the beach.
Ease of walking, access to food ,vendors etc. But most of all ease of access to the water. Get up and wade in at your leisure. No wading in, in the cliffs and you need to be comfortable in deeper water.
Also walking the west end road is not the safest. Very narrow and traffic moves quick...and remember they drive on the left. When half in the bag it can be hard to remember.
Again cliffs area is beautiful but for 7 day stay I’d stick with beach ...but by all means visit the cliffs, eat, swim ,sight see and form an opinion for the next visit.
Good choice with coco la palm.
We’ll be there in about a month.....
I choose to stay in the cliffs for my entire 5 week stay but I go to the beach most everyday since I have a motorcycle...it's just two different kinda vibes for sure.....there's nothing like having a nice beach day but I always look forward to coming home to the chill out vibe of the cliffs & get ready for a fabulous sunset...soon come Jan. '19..26th year
rooster: I am the opposite. Live on the beach and visit the cliffs. FYI sunset is gorgeous on the beach too. :friendly_wink::friendly_wink::friendly_wink:
Welcome Aboard
You all ready have got some great advice on here ! For your first time do the split trip, you'll cover more ground. I love the beach but stay on the cliffs in the westend, there are good reasons for staying at both. Have fun planning !
We tried splitting our stay a few times and came to the conclusion that the cliffs are a nice place to visit but we don't like staying up there. Cliffs are great if you just want to catch up on your reading but we tended to get bored during the days on the cliffs.
we used to split our trip up between the cliffs and beach , love the slow vibe of the cliffs but usually after 3 days on the clifss we r ready for the beach as mentioned by a couple ppl above. its easier to just stay on the beach and get a ride to the cliffs. If you do want to try the cliffs out a good place to try for a couple days is catch a falling star gardens. inexpensive . great staff and across the street from our favorite bar on the cliffs called LTU.
this year however we are spending all are time on the beach because the wife has more triuble getting around and it can get dicey walking the road on the cliffs, esp. at night.
I'm taking my girlfriend for her 1st time. I have about a dozen trips under my belt. I booked 6 nights on the cliffs and 3 nights on the beach.
I really like the vibe in the cliffs, but I want her to have the beach experience also. The cliffs just seems a bit more chill. More privacy, less hustlers, less police.....lol
I couldn't of said it better IB Michael....Way more privacy..NO hustler's & love the smell of all the different foods being prepared ad you come the West End rd from the beach...& we can walk the to any restaurant with no problems if we choose to...but no more DA BAR across the street from our place...gotta go back to 3 Dives to see Eddie
My hubs loves the cliffs but I enjoy the beach. Sometimes we do split stays sometimes we don’t. Thus yr was only cliffs. I think we will only do cliffs from now on unless we are taking the new granddaughter. There is a complete peaceful feeling about the cliffs.
CCLP great beach choice. On the cliffs we loved Rock House the best but it is extremely hard to book. Sometimes a year in advance to get rooms. But you can always just ask to be put on the list if there is a cancellation. Catcha Falling Star also very nice. Home Sweet Home a little less upscale but nice also. Just go through Trip Advisor and look at hotels or negrilonestop.com has lots of pictures at lots of resorts on beach and cliffs. Narrow it down to a few then come back here for opinion of boardies.
My hubby and I used to stay 3 days at the cliff and then venture to the beach for 10 days or so, we love walking and going to all of the different places to eat and drink
Our favorite place to stay on the cliffs is Catch a Falling Star. The place is amazing and we have found nothing like it.
We always stay on the cliffs but we only go for 3-4 days. If I were staying 7 days like you I would split it up. We stayed at Catcha Falling Star last year, it's really nice. We're trying out Rockhouse this year. You're going to love it wherever you stay :)
