I've stayed on both the beach and the cliffs, and each one has its pro's and con's. The beach is where all the action is and you can do a lot of people watching, not to mention all the good beach food. (Patties...yum). The cliffs are more chill and it's more like a small town feel when you walk around. You can easily snorkel right off the cliffs at various spots.

I just stayed at Traveller Resort on the beach in February for the first time, and I enjoyed the place. The staff were the best! It's on the south end of the beach, not as crowded, which I happen to like. You may want to check out Citronella, Xtabi, and Home Sweet Home on the cliffs also. I've stayed at all of them, and I liked them all. Xtabi has garden rooms across the street which are very affordable also. It's also right next door to Three Dives Jerk, my favorite jerk place on the cliffs.

Just think about what you and the hubby want to do. Do you want to just chill out, or do you want to be where the action is? Route taxi's will take you quickly from the beach to the cliffs or vice versa if you just want to explore what the other area has to offer. We split our time between the beach and the cliffs this year, and it was a quick transaction to move our stuff.
