    Reading the advice in this thread I'm wondering what the expectations of the newbies are?

    2. Pack less clothes.
    3. Take more cash.

    They are used to an all inclusive. This time they're staying on the cliffs.

    Hello ! I've been a lurker for some time and have enjoyed getting my Negril fix through all of your trip reports and the local news. 😎. We will be arriving next Tuesday our 16th trip to Jamaica? 14 of those to Negril! We love Negril! For my 2 cents, the cambio behind Bourbon Beach is where we exchange our US $ to Jamaican. About the same rate as the grocery. You hardly recognize it. Very secure. Walk thru bourbon beach and go toward the road and it's an orange building on the right before you get to the road.

    Thanks for the cambio tip! Im staying just down from bourbon beach and am looking to change money this time around. It would be great not to have to walk to the roundabout each time. Last time I used USD, but want to use J this time given the exchange rate is favorable. Last time I just had a bunch of small bills but I know I "overpaid" for every red stripe I bought! Haha not that I mind pumping a few extra dollars into the local economy, but I'm eager to use the local currency.

    Always, always be respectful. It's as if they know you are there before you do and you will want to come back!

    Lots of cool Bic lighters, open red stripe bottles well and last much longer, and can give to people, get ones with your country city or hockey sports teams.
