Go solo no worries, no need to fret at all! I have always traveled solo to Negril from my very first trip and always loved it! It is not like you are going off the grid or will be in danger, you will be in totally well populated tourist areas and can venture out as much as you like, or stay on the resort if that is what you want. My first trip I went all over the place--met tons of great people, and had not one qualm. In fact, this may be a positive thing, being able to explore for a while on your own. You don't need your friend to hold your hand, reallyAny staff at the resort can help you with questions you might have rob and lisa (bnewb) from this board are a wonderful support and know every little thing you would need to know about the island and it is just such a great opportunity.

I have been to Negril four times, and all but my first were solo, and plan on going solo again this November. I think you will be fine for the two days until your friend gets back, you should go and I have no doubt at all that you will have a great time and everything will be irie.
oh yeah, and cancel your room in Mobay and find something in Negril. There are plenty of nice places that don't cost much.
Go solo!!
i like montego bay and you will be fine at the RUI
Wow I'm blown away by all the support and help everyone has given me this morning I was in full panic mode and haven't been able to get online until now. I just want to thank everyone for all their help and I feel a bit foolish now because I spent the majority of my work day back and forth changing plans. I was able to push my trip back a week at a minimal cost than I originally thought I think I'm just very persistant lol
I was going to just go for the 2 days my friend here said to me Amanda you make friends so quickly you would have no problem... lucky for my Andre has a blackberry and we can instant message but he seemed so put off of the idea of me spending 2 days alone .. he said that he was looking forward to the visit as much as I was and wanted to be the person that picked me up from the airport. I feel silly because all of you have put in such a great effort to help me and I thank you all so much. I know now that next time I'm in Jamaica.. spring 2012
I travel solo there frequently-even back in the day I didn't have many acquaintances/friends...Just play it smart and you'll be fine..In fact I bet you'll have a blast making new acquaintances and maybe some new friends ..Just don't do anything you wouldn't do at home,am not saying to live a "bubble" but "wise up"...
Clives is excellent way to go and yeah, rent a cell phone from them- thats the way go...
Relax, and Have a great time...

Seriously Manda, you are going to have a good time in Negril the first 2 days!! Tell Andre you have a couple tourist friends who are going to look out for you when you get there.
When you arrive, Negril is going to seem a bit familiar to you because of all you have seen and learned about on this website.
You will make acquaintances at your hotel or staying on nearby properties and will have people to hang out with or talk to if you need/want to.
By the time Andre gets to Negril, you will be showing him around, LOL.
Practice answering these questions:
Your 1st time to Jamaica? "No, I've been here before."
Where are you staying? "Up the beach" (or down the beach or on the West End)
When did you arrive? "Last week"
Where is your boyfriend? "Getting something from the room" or "having a drink at the bar" or "taking a walk" (you can change your response later if you like the person)
hahahaha do they really ask you where your boyfriend is ?? Thank you for the answer lol I'll remember those for sure
