I have managed to score a few days off from my new job. Really don't deserve any time off until next year, but I pushed and they caved!
It will be a short reach, so I want to make the most of it. Probably the first week in September.
My question to you is this: Which hotel (beach or cliffs) have rooms with a patio area that has a hammock in the shade? My budget will be a maximum of $100.00 per day for the room, but obviously would like to spend less if possible.
Any thoughts....
Check out SeaStar. Nice hammock, good food and drinks, and a great pool.
Respect,

This picture was taken from the hammocks at the SeaStar on possibly one of the best nights of our entire trip!! These hammocks are made by francine, the amazing lady who owns the Seastar and it could possibly be the worlds greatest hammock!!! It is made of the softest cloth and when you lay in it, it wraps around you like a cocoon. We spent a good part of an amazing saturday night with all our closest friends and family swaying on a warm breeze, listening to the sounds of Steven West singing in the background. No words can describe that night and do it justice. If it is a hammock you are looking for this is the spot!

thanks for starting this thread, it brought back a really great memory on a day i really could use it! I have a big smile on my face that only a memory of negril can bring!! Would love to hear others peoples "fave day" smile stories:)
@tbay...the look on your face exactly matches the words you used to describe your feeling....love it!
Just want to say that I too love the hammocks at Seastar..I had room 16 I think on my last trip, and this is what my balcony looked like:

And this is the balcony from my first trip in '06 when I stayed with my daughters in Room 7..smaller balcony...still really nice hammock:

Seastar's Hammocks are the best.
You can even buy one to take home.
Rugged sailcloth!
Thanks, will start checkin these places out. I usually carry down my own hammock, but with baggage restrictions, this is becoming costly. I would be great to have one waiting for me..lol

Here is a nice shot of Cortiss at the Firefly. The hammock behind her is a really nice place to read or hangout.Probably the closest hammock to the water on the beach.You can find rooms in your price range.

Sorry the picture didn't make it.Still trying to figure out how to post a picture.
Thanks again...
Shooter 1, I have stayed at Firefly on previous trips, I know that hammock well, and Miss Cortiss too! You are right, it probably is the closest to the wata. I stayed next door at SunBeach in January and brought my own hammock, which I hung just below the room. It too was a great hammock spot!
I really want a hammock in a more private location, such as a veranda attached to room. I love Seastar, but really want to be closer to the sea. Maybe I will just buy a hammock from Seastar when I reach...
Orchid, if you want to be closer to the sea, check out Negril Escape....right on the ocean, all rooms have porch with hammock, breakfast included, some rooms have kitchens, others just fridge...all have great views....great staff. Contact them directly for best deal. I can give you some contact emails if interested.
