    Newbie Advice and Safety

    Coming to Negril for the first time Feb 10. Staying on the Cliffs. Advice for getting there from Montego bay and any advice about safety - room security?? Catch a Falling Start Gardens and Seastar - Safety - place to go? Places to NOT go.
    Would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Went to jamaica last year, but stayed at an all inclusive in Montego Bay so pretty much a jail.

    On my way down solo, staying at SeaStar also!!!
    I've stayed @ SeaStar on my last solo trip as well, that being said it's safe to walk down the lane to the cliff drive during the day, It's probably safe to walk at night in a group but I myself only take cabs after sundown.
    Don't walk the beach at night by yourself always walk in groups and be aware of your surroundings and dark areas.
    There are many people on here that will say it's okay to walk the beach at night but my Rasta friend always told us NOT to walk the beach alone unless he was with us!!
    I don't like the valuemaster parking lot after dark either......
    Just be aware of your surroundings at all times. especially if you go out drinking and come home late!!!! I personally like to chill at my hotel at night!!!! Not sure about Catcha gardens security (although I'm sure they're good) but SeaStar is very secure!!! I always fell safe there..

    You will love Catcha Gardens! Security there is top-notch and everyone that works on the property is just like family. They have the best pool hands down!
    Make sure you pop across the road to LTU for sunset and dinner and some nice cold bevvies
    Been to Seastar many times, great property, great people, and definitely secure.
    Take a walk down the road past the lighthouse to Out of Town Pastry for great fresh patties and cocobread.
    There is also a young man that rides his bike early in the morning with fresh bakery items and juices. That is our breakfast every day when we are at the Gardens.
    FYI, just around sunset the traffic outside of Rick's is CRAZY and the higglers are relentless. We try to avoid that part of the road at all costs during that time
    Have a great time and congrats for busting out of "jail"

    The security at Catcha Gardens is good. Stayed twice and both times it was a very pleasant visit. The staff is great and you'll enjoy the dogs. They're real good doggies and a big part of the security staff.

    Be very careful walking the road as the cars go quickly for the size and twisty nature of the road. (They aren't really going that fast, but on the small road it seems very fast). And remember if you come from the US that the cars drive in the opposite lane. Look right when you'd look left here. But the road is safe to walk day or night. More caution should be used on the adjoining lanes and I wouldn't venture up them at night.
