Can anyone sharte their first CLIFF experience after years of BEACH stays?

[brasi]

OK all...great advice! I am booked Jan 4-9 at Seastar and can't wait to experience that place. By all accounts it's awesome...the weekend days in that span coincide with the NFL Wildcard weekend...Brasi...Negril...football...swim-up bar...great food...Jamaican girls...UH OH! (: Chris has already let me know they have a great football atmosphere. I can only HOPE my team, The Redskins, makes the playoffs this year...(long shot)...but imagine THAT. wow.

As far as the second half of my stay...I have hedged my bets (and heeded bnewb's advice) as well by calling Mariners and reserving my last 6 nights (Jan 9-15) there. I like it there because I can still walk to town, hang at the beach, AND hit the West End...and I'm familiar with the property and staff...because I have stayed there before...my wingman The Judge is already in place. haha.

Of course---Mariner's is not even sure what their winter rate is yet...I'm waiting for a call back...and from experience the place is not as responsive as others...but I'll keep looking around for a cool beach spot in case it's redonk...or in case they never call back. haha. Thoughts?

Has anyone else realized how FUN this part of a reach is? Talking about it? Booking it? Planning stuff?

I don't leave for four months....but I am already hypnotized by Negril. (: Even though I am not altogether new to the West End...I'm happy because I am going to "be in the know" re: staying The Cliff side after this trip...yay!

My only regret is I could have booked for a longer stay...(11 nights good, but more nights always BETTER haha) but...since I didn't...I am hoping to do a quick stay at the end of April for the bash... rock on with your bad selves!
