West End ~ Hotel WiFi, your favorite chillout spots and places to eat?

[Angelica Isaksson]

Thanks rjosun, sounds awesome, from what I gather Grassroots is close by to BHBS, good to know there are route taxis running close by. Best, Ange

Hey FarOutWestEnder, looking for good places with wi-fi access, but also on the lookout for other recommended spots to visit, it'll be my longest stay in Negril to date, so looking forward to trying lots of new places.

Thanks for sharing info on Cliff Resort, if it's on the expensive side I might do a one off, but look for some other alternatives as well.

Hi Rob, that's perfect, thanks! Much appreciated, great to know. I was beginning to wonder when people told me I'm staying in the bush with snakes and what not, far from everything. Realising now, that it was just a good banter.

I've taken note of your suggestions. Can't wait!

Perfect, noted, many many thanks @jojo p

Oh dear @Marblehead. Plan A is to get a Digicel MIFI and top it up for my stay, so I can log on anywhere I please, but I can't preorder, and apparently they sometimes are out of stock at the stores. I won't know until I get to Montego Bay on Jan 9. Figured I better make a list of places where I can access WIFI just in case I don't get the MIFI. My work will consist mainly of emails, phone/zoom meetings, LinkedIn, Google as well as some other stuff that I can use tools and programs on my laptop not necessarily requiring internet. Crossing my fingers that it should be okay.

If I get the MIFI, I am hoping that the connection will be decent where I'm staying and in and around Negril.

If anyone have experience using MIFI, please let me know what you guys think of it and if it's worth the investment?

I've heard a lot of good thing about Jus Natural, it seems to be recommended by many, and as it goes close to where I'm staying. Any idea of what a breakfast cost there? I normally have ackee & saltfish, callalloo, fried dumpling, fresh juice and coffee

From photo on TAdvisor, looks like around 700J for the breakfast you described. I bet its a bit more with inflation but its always been reasonable, and delicious. Its great when Christine takes your order then walks around the property picking the herbs that will go into it. We always see hummingbirds and butterflies there - make sure to walk around the whole property.

Hi Odinson, many thanks. I had a look on TA as well, lots of lovely pictures, but I didn't check them all and must have missed it. Have only heard great things about the garden and property, can't wait to see it.

We bought a wifi unit from DigiCell (not mifi) a few years ago and it worked fine where we were staying up on PeeWee Lane. This year we''ll be down off the hill and not sure about reception. I've been considering a wifi unit for our international travel. We're fully retired so, literally, the only thing we need the internet for is downloading the NYTimes. Yup! Pointy-headed NYT liberals!

LTU pub is a great spot to chill. I’ve heard good things about Somewhere West. Murphy’s is delicious. KoolVybez has delicious jerk chicken. Pee Wees has great breakfast and French press coffee. Sips and Bites is very good. Sir D’s for sunset. You may be able to rent a chair at the gorgeous pool at Idle Awhile Cliffs.

If you're in Negril in January and bump into me I'd be happy to let you download all the NY times you need by connecting to my MIFI unit

It seems that all of the older wifi modems no longer work. Both Flow and Digicel have upgraded to LTE and the older modems do not support it.

Well that puts me on the same path as Angelica. It always takes a visit to Digicell to get things humming every year. At least the MiFi's a small and can be used internationally! Thanks for the heads up, Rob. --Marblehead
