What should we do off the resort?

You will see a great deal of the "real" Jamaica through the windows of your 90 minute transport that will take you through tiny hamlets and small towns and beautiful countryside each way. In Negril a visit to Rick's is probably something you should do on your first visit, but it's touristy and you might want to stay for one drink or a look around and then walk a bit more to a local cliff-side "Sunset" bar or restaurant such as L.T.U. pub. Another economical adventure would be a taxi ride to the small city of Savanna La Mar. It's about 30 minutes each way. Not really a tourist destination, but they have an interesting market place with all kinds of fruit and veggies and other items. There is a popular "pub crawl" in Negril that many people enjoy. It's a 'free' excursion to half a dozen or so West End spots and you will be picked up and dropped off at your hotel. Most people give the driver a generous tip for this service. You don't have to spend money at each stop. You can just have a soft drink or water, if you want to avoid too much alcohol. That's just a few low-cost outings you many enjoy. There are many other options.
