Just got back from Negril. Very empty this time of year Bar-B-Barn was shut down due to lack of people, but I imagine it'll be open again by November. I've stayed there in the past - it's an decent place, comfy enough & near town & near all the "action". This time we stayed at Footeprints, which we liked. A bit farther away from town, but quite nice and with a nice staff. Me & my wife got a lovely massage from one of the lovely massage girls that works at Footeprints - check them out even if you're not staying there. They hang out on the beach outside the hotel.

Enjoy your trip.
