hey jahtony! i agree with jojop- alfred's is a GREAT place for a young, friendly but shy guy who's still getting his negril sea legs.

first of all, you can't beat the location. it's in the middle of everything but not all crowded up. everyone stops by alfred's at some point, so you're going to meet people.

on the value-for-money tip, it's hard to beat. rooms are about $50 us a night.they are simple, clean and very secure.

it's a really friendly, family-run business (the arthurs are pioneers in the negril hospitality industry) with a ton of return guests.

i'm not sure if we're allowed to directly mention the travel website that starts with TR, but if you go on there and search for alfred's and pull up the listing for hotel (as opposed to restaurant) you can see my super in depth review.

and to put my comments in perspective, i started visiting jamaica in 1996 (when i was 27) because all of my friends in brooklyn have family there. i'm 48 now, married with an 11 year old. my husband and son love jamaica, too. it's been great to share a place with them that is so special to me.

oh yeah, i should add that when i wanted to make a reservation, i emailed canderarthurs@gmail.com. that's the owner's wife, cindy's email. we did everything via email with zero issues.

ugh, one more addition- if you search for "alfred's" on this site you'll find a thread i started, asking if any boardies had actually stayed there. several people replied positively and i gave a trip report at the end of the thread.
