Been at Seastar the last 10 days and security is top notch.
Very safe area. Seastar lane is very safe.
Wise Choice store on the corner is as cheap as anywhere to get supplies. Use common sense. Watch for traffic on One Love Drive and enjoy. LTU across from Gardens has nice food and view.
Ditto to pretty much everything said above. Stayed at Seastar Nov/Dec and the lane is an easy walk day and night, though at night I might not walk alone. Bring a flashlight for walking at night, there are some dark spots on the lane, especially if the power goes out. Generators at Seastar are great, but don't help on the road. On a moonless night it is DARK.
Wise Choice is a great little grocery, has pretty much everything you could want. We never figured out its exact closing time, but it was somewhere around 8, so if you need late night snacks, shop early.
AhhBee's Burgers is just down the road from Seastar lane and is great. If you are looking for a venue a bit more special for dinner, Ivan's at Catcha Falling Star is great after 5pm. Even for just a drink it is a great spot for sunset.
We haven't been anywhere on that part of the cliffs I'd call a no go.
If you head to Out of Town Pastry, Just Natural is only a few hundred yards beyond and was a really great experience.
Don't take a route taxi. Trust me on this one. My statement will get an argument started most likely, just don't do it.
Even though you are in Jamaica, and a hamburger seems like the thing not to eat... Go to ahhhbees. It's sublime.
Take extra "little money" (small bills) with you. No one has any change, and you will want it for tipping.
When you are walking out and about, steer clear of the fellow that tries to tie a bracelet to your wrist (to save my life I cannot think of his name right now) he has gotten a bit more difficult in the past two trips... He is usually found on the road around catcha and down past tensing.
Most important? Have fun... The cliffs are a different experience than what you had last year. We are now devoted to the west end, and will probably not go anywhere else on our Jamaica trips.
