mi did the beach thingy for seven years before I took the plunge by accident........
mi was going thru a divorce and hadn't made reservations before mi arrived in Negril in November 1991.......
met this guy that was on mi plane on the way down and wanted to know if I needed a ride out to Negril........
mi said sure why not and wi headed out to Negril....he said he was staying at LTU on the Cliffs in da car....it was a Lata.....lol
mi said how much are da rooms der? him said around $50 a night.........mi said that sounded pretty good to mi.......
wi got dropped off at LTU and mi took the unit right in the front on the second floor........what a room and view.......
well mi stayed der for mi entire reach and forgot all about da divorce and had a splendid time.......
mi spent time snorkeling there in the Cove everyday and hanging out with people at the LTU pub was awesome........
went down to da beach at night and hit the usual spots and partied like it was 1999.........lol
saw the guy a few times and him was riding around on his moped having a grand time too..........
mi hooked up with him again for the ride back to MoBay airport.......
and made record time as the young driver drove like a bat out of hell.......lol
memorable trip and sumthin mi needed at that time in mi life.........couldn't ask for more
probably the sand and all the vendors and higglers...........and people watching.......
dunno..........but I luv snorkeling and having no higglers bothering mi.........
so if you into swimming, snorkeling, diving, etc and the cooler wata......
and no higglers........and nice friendly people.....and cheaper restuarants and bars........
and you enjoy quietness and peacefulness........you might like the Cliffs more........
you can always head to the beach for the action and head back to the Cliffs to relax and chill mon......
mi loved the Cliffs the first time as it was a whole different world........
on da Cliffs compared to the beach you feel like a local......and not a tourist
if you not into wata stuff and have to have nonstop action all da time........you might not like the Cliffs
had booked Coral Seas Beach and Coral Seas Cliffs to split up the reach........
but ended up with the Penthouse at Coral Seas Beach and they said I could stay der for mi entire reach.....
basically cause mi was so lazy and the sand gravity was so bad that mi didn't want to pack up and move.......
so I only ended up making up to the Coral Seas Cliff on their shuttle which was best of both worlds.........
yah mon...........you ready to make the move up.......you a verified Negril Addict.........lol
January is awesome..........
the first two weeks are a likkle bit of a lull before it gets real busy in Negril.......
the weather is pretty dry and the nights are a lot cooler........
staying on the Cliffs you probably won't hardly need A/C
you'll always need A/C if you are staying on da beach.....trust mi........lol
