Greetings Manda !!
I spent my 40th birthday in Negril and I actually had my bday dinner at Best in the West! I love their jerk sauce. I also like Ossie's and 3 Dives jerk too. It's a lot
of fun sampling the jerk from each place and forming your own opinions too. My absolute favorite jerk ever is Scotchies, when u stay in Mobay u should go to
Scotchies. Due to an early morning flight we had to stay in Mobay for one night, we stayed at the Coral Cliff hotel & Casino. The casino is cool to kill some time, it's right on the hip strip across from Margaritaville.
My last trip to Negril I was solo and hung out with my local male friends (just friends) but who cares what other people think?
Just be careful driving around, the JA drivers are kind of crazy!
CoCo is really cool, good choice ! Big beach & good food !
JA or USD it's all good, but remember when u pay in usd u get jmd for change so it's good to know the exchange rate so u don't get ripped off.
As far as live music, you'll be able to find bands playing most nights of the week at different places. I HIGHLY recommend SeaStar Saturday night, the buffet and entertainment ROCK !!!!!
Have a safe trip and b IRIE!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll b looking forward to your trip report, you know that is required to be on this board !!! j/k
