Sent a message to Legends, expressing my concerns about them not being on the compliant list, here is their reply:
"Hello Terrence,
We have been working with our local health authorities to achieve our
Covid-19 compliance certification. We expect to be on that list of certified resorts before November 2020. At worst, we will suggest
certified resorts for you to be re-located but, we prefer if you can stay with us as planned. A lot is left to happen in the next sixty days so
please just take matters a week at a time and stay safe. Feel free to
check back with us in October and hopefully, we will publish our re-open date by then."
I agree that many things will be changed by then, hopefully for the better, time will tell.
It seems the resorts that are taking future reservations without yet being certified compliant are betting on a come, I hope it works out, for us and for them.
We have been using the same driver for years and hope to see hm in February. We have just prepaid our airport transfer and some other incidentals via Western Union. He needs the money more now that he will in February (we hope). We will give a hand when we can.
Hi Rob, I'm a newcomer to the forum, but long-time visitor to Jamaica. We're heading to Negril tomorrow and curious if the beaches are still closed and I read your post about the corridor being reopened. What area does that include. We're staying at Catcha Falling Star, next to Rick's and wanted to find out if we'll be able to leave the property to go out to dinner, or are we mandated to stay at the resort. So happy I found your forum and look forward to your response. Stephanie Inge - Dallas, TX
Great to have you join us! The Long Bay Beach is open, just the Norman Manley Beach Park is closed. It is the beach area by the community centre and craft market.
You are allowed to leave the resort and visit Covid Resilient certified properties. Within the last hour the JTB website has added their attractions listing, more places are added all the time so keep checking the listing.
Scroll down near the bottom for listing.

Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
Rob, thanks so much for the warm welcome!! I appreciate the information and update on current state of COVID-19 in Negril
Hope we don't get rain all day every day while we're there. Crossing my fingers!
Kindest regards,

Stephintexas....
It's not an easy decision to travel right now...but it wasn't an easy decision for Jamaica to open her borders either.
Jamaica is doing the best they can & so far have done an incredible job keeping their tourism areas very low in the number of Covid cases.
You're going to have a beautiful vacation (albeit a bit quiet)...and you'll be spoiled rotten with the excitement everyone offers you....thankful someone is there helping out the economy a wee bit...❣️
So Rob,
There are some hotels on the 'Hotel List' that I like to visit for their restaurant or Bar (Like Coco La Palm, LTU... etc) but they're not on the 'Attraction list'. Can I technically still visit them for a meal or happy hour? (Unfortunately, some favs like Alfreds or Roots are on neither list).
Go Bills!
