I have to agree with Jim-Donna. Late April is a great time to go. Negril is still in the peak season vibe, while many hotels have off-peak rates. The only down side is that it is closed season for lobster.

We have also been enjoying early November trips, just before the Thanksgiving rush. Hurricane/rainy season is mostly over at this point, but crowds are still small. Plus it starts to get cold in the northeast, so its a good time to get away. The only downside is that it is closed season for conch.
