Margaritaville is a good place to be dropped off by a cab. Easy access to the beach and one of the nicest sections.

Just walk through to the front and as you face the ocean hang a left and start walking. From there down is all the entertainment you'll need for a great day walkin the beach. Just stop and take it in as you wish and party on!

The downloadable Negril map would really help you find points of interest. Hopefully someone can provide you a link to download it.

Bourbon Beach for Jerk Chicken and Red dragon for the best Jerk Pork. (Ask a driver and take a cab its away from the beach.)

Keep USD$5 in your hat for the cab back to RIU!

It snowed 7 feet in 48 hrs here in New York in November and after being stuck at home for 5 days I fell in love while researching Negril. Unfortunately, I found this forum too late and already jumped the gun and booked my trip. Fortunately, after an exhausting winter my trip is right around the corner. After reading nightly on this forum for the past week it sounds like it would have made more sense to stay further down the beach being that I am traveling solo and looking to meet other solo travelers / couples (cannot really see myself enjoying partying (too hard) with vacationing families and their children). I am staying at the Club RIU but do NOT intend on sitting pool side much at all. I want to fully experience the best of what Negril (Seven Mile Beach / West End / Cliffs) has to offer daily. I need you good people to point me in the right direction and if any of ya out there want to meet for drinks…their on me!

How would you Negril Vets best spend five days in my situation?

I added you to the Feb roll call thread.

You may already have this, it's invaluable:

I printed off beach and cliff pages on legal paper (take along with you) and saved to my iPhone and iPad. Have referred to it many, many times.

geoff, you don't even know what awaits you. I can always tell when a first timer is going to have the life changing experience. There's a reason the Jamaica/Negril message boards are so active. Get to the main beach and go with the flow. Hook up with some of the boardies that are going to be there and cut the learning curve way down. Keep your senses and have the time of your life. And please share pics and thoughts of your trip with us sometime after your return.

Davevols. Yes this message board has been amazing. So many great responses and insight! I cannot wait. I can already tell this is going to be the experience i was looking for and more! Will most definitely be sharing pics and stories.
