Yep sure is. That was our first time in Negril. We also stayed there last March for a week.

The Palms is good place, laid back on the north end of Da beach. Close to couple good places. Small beach area most times. Stayed at The Palms when Fun Holiday overbooked and ended up there. Was a blessing different vibe on north end.One place u can sit on a deck and have the higglers walk up and talk to all day lol. Wake up and walk over to Sea wind for coffee much better and cheaper. Or Sea Splash for morning bagel. The Palms beakfast not for us other meals good but pricey.

Have a great time. Sorry we will miss you. We still have 26 days to go! Feb 1 can't come soon enough. Time to leave the cold behind. It's pretty sad when -10 is 'warm'! Safe journey and let the good times roll!

Just curious...why do you exchange your $$ to US first? I always use ATM's when I'm on vacation so I don't get hit with the exchange twice...do you get a better rate when you're down there on the US? Thanks...PV girl and newbie in Negril

We opened a USD account (happen to be with CIBC, but any Canadian bank will do). When the rates are favourable, you put money in. AND you don't have to pay a bank fee on the exchange when you withdraw! We know we're going back, so why not?

Chris55 - I personally feel it's best to use JAD down there, but USD is the next best thing. You will get a better deal on anything if you pay in JAD usually. The cambio's do give you a pretty rate down there. Having it in hand when you leave is a good idea. Bank computers can cack out, you know? You don't want to spend your vacation at the bank machine .... trust me!

Have a great time, we will be waiting for your trip reports and cool pics !!

You get a better rate for the JMD when you have USD to exchange. So we change to USD here and then to JMD when we are there. I have had my cards not work at the ATM's so I just play it save and do it here. Besides have you ever seen the look on a Jamaican's face when you try to give them Canadian Money? LOL!! There's a few places that are familiar with it like the Canoe but they are few and far between.
