December 2019

Hello, I'm new to this board. My friend and I are taking girls trip for the holiday, we just booked today! We arrive Negril on December 30 and plan to stay 5-6 nights before we go to MBJ. Only going back to MBJ because we have free nights at an all inclusive to use up. Looking for advice on where to stay in Negril. I'm holding a room at Rooms on Beach (oceanfront room) and I believe Firefly still has rooms although I don't think oceanfront. We definitely want to be on 7 mile, walking distance to everything, a light breakfast (coffee/toast), fridge (?), prefer something with a view of the ocean/or that side of the road and all of that for under $200.00 nt . Rooms on the Beach has all of this, I'm just afraid we won't have the local Negril feel. Love to hear your thought's. We want to visit VERY casual beach bars, sit in the sun and hear a little Reggae. Thank you, Brenda

After checking trivago and seeing what's available (compared to your needs), I don't think you'll do much better for price and location. I like Negril Palms but that's down by the 'all inclusives', away from most of the night life and casual bars that you seek (even though the Yard beach house and Treehouse are nearby). Rooms has a great location, especially if you desire and have a beach front room at Rooms already. The only other place that would be nice but starts at $199 is Charela. Also, for music, at Rooms, you're close to day venues like Boat bar & Drifters and night venues like Woodstock, Roots and Alfreds.

Thank you for all the information. We’ll keep Rooms for now, the price seems/location seem to work best for this trip. I'll definitely check out the other places everyone mentioned. Now I need to talk my friend into one more day in Negril and one less at the all inclusive!
