I have recently been getting some emails about renting of "guest houses" and some hotels all around the island. Not all places to stay are the same.

A recent tragedy was in the paper the past few weeks and the hostel property was not a JTB licensed and insured establishment.

Here are a couple links to keep you up to date with the latest in the JTB/licensing issues:

Unfortunately this is no joke - that is why we are so careful that businesses promoted on Negril.com are legal businesses.

Please take your time researching the place you stay.
