Good list except for one small mistake: No need to be careful about the overproof. With the right mixer, it goes down like water and feels GOOD.
Snorkel at Xtabi
Go To Whoopies for the view and hammocks.
Take a bell to put on the inside of your door at night, if worried about security.
Go see the drummers at Seastar on Sat. night and, buffet if you like.
Get off the resort to really meet the people.
It is up to you to do as much or as little as YOU enjoy on your vacation. I must see and do everything! I guess that is why I have been back 15 times? lol
Eat a Niah's patty on the beach, go for drink specials at White Sands, eat fish & chips at Alfreds, Eggs Benedick at Pee Wee's, Pizza at the German Bar, Fried chicken at Chicken Lavish.....
Go into the little grocery stores, see how things are sold in single servings.
Watch a sunset from Blue Cave Castle.
Bring small gifts for everyone.....candy, nail polish, small flashlights, hats, etc.
Parasail, go to half moon bay for an afternoon, walk to Redground for the adventure of going through the little community. We walk everywhere and have never had problems....
Relax, slow down and breath in the life the island offers. The people are beautiful and the scenery is wonderful....enjoy!
Once you go, you'll know.
Don't eat "the cake" and the guys who put the bracelets on you Are aggressive then they act like you bought it.So,just let it fall on the sand and walk away.
Ivans bar at Catcha may be the Best bar you will ever see. Be carefull swimming there,lots of urchins in the sea wall.
Wave naked from your room to the boats passing by as they ask themselves "gee,that looks like a cool place,whats the name?"
Buy a 50 pack of singles. This is important. Always use large bills when you can and keep the small ones. Street vendors and route taxis never have change. Never tell ANYONE where you are staying or for how long. Never take your eye off your drink. Never leave money out while you are drinking. Bad habit for me. Buy a beer with a large bill and leave it next to my bottle. Common sense and smart tourist goes a long way...
Go to several webcasts to meet boardies - see schedule at WWW.RealNegril.com
Seastar Inn Saturday night Party - call for a free taxi.
Remember they drive on the other side of the road in Jamaica, look both ways twice before crossing.
Be careful walking the West End
Don't walk alone at night or if we do take a flashlight and don't be drunk (so looks like taxis for us)
Be careful with the special cakes
Have a burger at Ahh Bees
Breakfast at Just Natural and/or Out of Town Pastry
Fried Chicken at Chicken Lavish - Doc has some great fried chicken
Jerk Pork at Red Dragon - Ragga Bones serves very cold beer and very spicy pork, watch out for the scotch bonnet peppers
Go to Ricks just this one time just to say we did (we'll see about that...) - one beer only!
Keep small bills for tipping
Be patient
Careful of Overproof - Definitely can lead to major hangover problems!
Booked the One Love crawl for Friday - remember to tip Lenbert (how much?)
Contemplating Pelican Bar...bringing water shoes if we go
Sunscreen & bug spray
Don't tell anyone we are Negril 1st timers (why?) They will target you less if they think you know the score.
Don't let the guy put a bracelet on your wrist (whats up with that? I don't get it). Once it's on, it will cost you $$. They offer it as a gift, but expect a $$ Gift in return.
Can I put a towel over that window in the Sagi outdoor shower at Catcha (unless I want to give the patrons @ Rick's a little show)?
Enjoy,
VVHT
Been said many times: Take half of the clothes you planned and TWICE the money.
Soon come!
Kitchen 'lady' - lots of advice given here and I say this to my friends who are newbies ... be as smart and aware as you would in any unknown city you visit, use the manners you would use if your grandma was watching, and above all - relax and open yourself up to new experiences including conversations with the local shop owners and vendors.
I had the curried conch at Chicken Lavish. I thought it was really good! Boat bar on Friday afternoons for the band and party. Archway Pizza is a good place to eat also. Like luvmylabs mentioned, there are so many places to see and things to do. Just another reason for another trip sometime. Already booked for December. Have a great time! Respect. One Love. Oh, and hang out at Sunbeach bar and Sunnyside Bar with Robert & Maureen.
Boy is that ever sound advice! 70% of my time is in a swim suit and t shirt... That attire seems to make me thirsty. Most of my clothes come back clean. If you could bring plenty of bug spray and lotion on the plane I would really love to attempt just a carry on on of these times.Originally Posted by Thatswhatshesaid
