So,to put a twist on it,,,what is it that you have Never done in Negril?

I disagree about Ricks. It's fun to watch the cliff divers jump from so high -- one of the few places in the world you can see such a thing. Plus, it's the only place to see a really large group of tourists all in the same spot, and that provides a feel of excitement so some peeps. Plus, there is often a live band for free, plus a swimming pool on an island where there aren't pools at every property.

There are indeed some positives to being at Ricks. Never in my considerable history with Negril have I failed to visit at least once.

I like Ricks. Sure the drinks are a bit over priced, but their chicken dip kicks ass.


If you are going to spend a couple hours there. You can buy a bottle of appleton and mixers for 50 bucks. More expensive than outside the gates? Sure... But 50 bucks split between 2 or 3 people is nothing.

I enjoy watching the divers, and watching the boats come in from the AIs.

Same here, Gerry! Never eat there, though. Just have a couple drinks and move on to somewhere else for dinner before sunset.

Remember the Ricks money you had to use?

So, to go off in a slightly different direction. What have you done in Negril that you wouldn't do again? Top of my list would be I wouldn't buy food at Ricks again. I think I paid $10 for exactly 11 corn chips and a small amount of salsa that tasted like Pace Mild. I'll visit and drink, but that's it. Also never again eat a sub walking down the beach at 3am.

There's a story here...

It's always been my intention to go to Rick's at least once, but it's just never been in the cards. On our last trip, we even stayed within walking distance of Rick's and just never made it over there. I guess it's because we always stay cliffside, and can easily watch the sunset and the AI boats from a private balcony with our own drinks and whatnot. So, there is not much allure for us to go to a crowded bar and watch the sunset.

I think the main driver is that we try to avoid crowds as much as possible. We've watched the divers from Sir D's on multiple occasions.

Surprised you havent been to scrub a dub.

Agree with the large group day trip. Nothing against anyone on the trip, it's just too much to get everyone moving in the same direction.

Never stayed long enough...
