Tent camping on the beach?

[Bnewb]

When did Whistling Bird close and why ?

Sorry...not sure of exactly when it closed...but it's been awhile now...and I saw the owner the other day but didn't ask why he closed it.

When I first came to Jamaica I camped all around the island even though the Government's official position was that camping was not an option for entry when you filled out "where you were staying" on the Immigration Card. In those days, you could find tenting facilities all around the island and even on the beach in Negril (Firefly, Roots, Juba, etc. etc.) but I can't really recall seeing any lately.

As other's have said, at least get a cheap board house with a door that attempts to lock before considering putting yourself and all you own into harm's way.

Just my opinion.

Thanks TAH, you're probably on point there. Thinking 2x

So.....Any tips on best place to stay that's budget friendly? lol

Tizzy, I would check out Roots cabins, I think there only about 50 bucks a night, even in high season when your going,

For the price, the fan rooms at Catcha Gardens are hard to beat. Also, some of the rooms at Negril Escape are very affordable. When we stayed there, the Wife was not impressed with the overall maintenance, but the property is very safe, the rooms are secure and the A/C works most of the time. Plus, the cliff access and view is pretty great.

catch gardens is great, good security, good staff and very buget friendly and only bucks more a night for aircondition Very nice pool and a couple very nice dogs too that know whos staying and whos not. And right across from LTU A lot for the money.

Negril Beach Club Condos. Jean might still have units available as low as $70/night for a hotel unit.

try Jah Bs across the road from Rooms, descent cottages for about 35.00 per nite, cheaper if you stay longer, my brother and his wife have stayed there and enjoyed it, soon come

Jojo, I sent them an email to ask about one cabin in particular and never heard anything back? You got an email address you could share?

Mike I'm thinking if I can, I wanna try and split my stay. Negril Escape is looking like the winner Thanks

I'm gonna look at both these options, but I did find a most excellent deal on a basic cabin at Travellers. Got it reserved in case that ends up being my best bet.

THANKS so much for all ya'lls input. I appreciate you!

OneLove,
