Forgot to mention lodging in previous report.
We stayed at Xtabi due to location, setting, accommodations, and of course price. We were very happy with the choice. About half way up the cliffs with property on both sides of the road. The pricier digs on the cliffs are really on, and hanging over, the cliffs. Really beautiful. We stayed in one of the oldest buildings on garden side and loved it. Our door opened up to the pool, which was rarely used and hence pretty much our own private pool. A very interesting part of our trip was that the one person that did use the pool the first few days we were there was a guy by the name of Hank who told us he was the original owner and developer of Xtabi. Lives in Europe now and visits once in a while. I was certainly enamored of Negril back in late 70's and early 80's and here was a guy that went back way further. And he was most willing to talk about the old days, so I got to hear a lot of stories.
Xtabi also has a great bar area overlooking the water and some sun decks. A great restaurant serving all meals, but a lot pricier than the smaller restaurants out on the road. Some very cool caves with stairway access. And of course many places to jump into the water with ladders for egress.
Great staff everywhere - housekeeping, hotel, restaurant, bar, security.
A great place to stay, especially for price. Found a super deal on Expedia.
