Re: Why Negril? And first impressions.
Believe it or not my first time going to Negril i didn't want to go, I had graduated high school almost a year beforehand and my mom was pressuring me to go to visit my father and his family. At some point during my first semester of college i gave in and decided to go for 5 or 6 days during spring break. My first day there i cried, im not sure why, it wa just a big culture shock being up in the hills, seeing goats roam around freely and mosquitoes for some reason love to bite me. Once i finally got settled in a hotel and got to roam around i fell in love! Later that year (2011) i went back and stayed for two months with my grandmother on westend and went back again in 2012 for spring break for a 7 day trip that ended up being 9 or 10. I havent been since, life got ahold of me i had my daughter last august and got married but we will finally be making it back April 2015

Re: Why Negril? And first impressions.
1974 friends of my boyfriend(now husband) had come to Negril and told us we have to experience it! We came, flew Air Jamaica( rum punch and fashion show on the way) We wanted to rent a car(very naive) and never reserved it... ended up with a VW bus for the first week. Couldnt figure out why people were trying to flag us down.(they thought we were the bus) Stayed in Red Ground at a play run by someone named Pearl..... it was either $5 or $7 a nice..full kitchen, living and bedroom. Woke up to roosters crowing , breadfruit cooking and children marching off to school in there perfectly pressed uniforms.
drove to the beach everyday...private secluded and owned by the person who owned the Hilltop View cottages. Ate some breakfast at the fancy restaurant at the Villas in the round a bout............... and just fell in love!!!!!!! Came back in 1976 and then when my daughter was one year old and we stayed at the villas.
loved walking with flashlights...crabs running across the road at night,,, the sands club... the wharf club.
Stopped coming because of children (now 3) and came back in 2005 and every year since.....We missed our love!!!
