Thanks, I'll take it!
I'm probably younger than the average poster here, and my wife and I prefer to stay on the West End. I don't enjoy booming DJ music at home, and I have no desire to listen to it on vacation. I do, however, love live music and will seek out any performance, whether it be reggae, a steel drum band, mento group or old school R&B (a la Drifters). At the end of the day, though, we prefer to retreat to the peaceful, romantic vibe of the cliffs.
Not sure I agree with your characterization of the West End, but to each his own. I have nothing negative to say about the beach - we enjoy both sides of Negril.
