    HELP this newly divorced Couples Resorts only staying Jamaica loving female :)

    So Negril is my spot. Has been since I first laid eyes on it and always will be. My soon to be EX husband and I have traveled there every year for the past five years and stayed at Couples Negril. Been all over the caribbean as well but there is no place like Jamaica IMO. Since we are no longer a couple (YAY! LOL) I am torn on where to stay for my solo trip this year.
    I am not picky but not down for a ghetto place either. My main requests are: on the beach but enough space to have my own little private spot to call my own to read, safe for a solo female traveler, a patio or balcony to smoke on, and I know this request sounds NUTS but a decent bed I.E. not rock hard (even at couples I had to request a memory foam topper and I am doubtful that request would be met at a non AI place)

    I have narrowed it down to Idle Awhile (shocker since Issa fam owns it and I know what to expect kind of LOL) Tree House Resort, Rondell Village, Country Country or Travellers.

    Any and all suggestions appreciated. I just want to park my newly divorced ass on the beach for the week and drink dirty bananas and red stripes, eat some bomb Jamaican food, read a few good books and take a dip in the ocean every once in a while.
    I am not scared or intimidated to travel alone, not intimidated by the vendors etc. but I also am aware of the freaks that come out at night LOL and just want to make sure I feel safe at night and have decent accommodations.

    Any and all tips and advice appreciated.
    Thanks guys

    Can’t go wrong with Idle Awhile. With Charela and other great places right there you won’t need to walk long distances after dark for dinner.

    I would throw Cocolapalm in the mix as well..I wouldn't put Travelers in the same league as the others personally but hey..your in Negril no matter what you choose and its all good

    Idle Awhile would be perfect for you. We've done Couples, but once we tried Idle, we'll never go back to Couples

    When we were done with AI's we enjoyed both Charela Inn and Idle Awhile.

    nirvana is lovely. We stayed in the upper Veranda unit. Nice space, comfy bed, beach front is spacious. Have also stayed at IAW and loved it. Rooms 201 and 202. Really nice room, comfy bed. Large veranda. Smaller beach area with a lot of families w/ children... but they do have the bar and restaurant, if that interests u. Either place i think u would love.

    Lots of children at Nirvana or IAW? Not that I hate kids LOL just don't have them so would prefer there to not be too many.

    Idle awhile is fabulous. Second choice would be Charela next door.
