Hi Annemarie
I have been to SATP and must say it's was my least favorite vacation. I read the glowing and wonderful reviews and was ready for a nice relaxing vacation. I got absolutely boring with very little entertainment. The resort is lovely, the food fantastic, and the staff wonderful but the vibe ghostly. I did not care for the beach being across the street since I like to stroll the beach at late evening or at night. Vendors and solicitation are not what I seek for a lovely beach which was there as well. I prefer a more quiet setting on the beach not the resort. I was there in early July so I don't know how this would compare to October.

hi,i thought at the time that we are going that it might be quiet on the entertainment and i dont mind having to explore to find some good music,thanks so much for your feedback.

Hi AnneMarie - you are going to love Negril. For some local live reggae, check out Alfred's Ocean Palace located on the Negril Beach. Live reggae shows on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday nights (show time 10:00 pm to 2:00 am). Great food and bar, reasonable prices, admission to the show is about $500 JA each. Attached is video of Polkadot who usually is the MC and the opening act. There are a number of other videos on youtube (just search for Alfreds Negril).
