How safe is Negril to stay in a NON AI??

[SimonB1964]

Lots of receomended places here and on other sites. My research took me to White Sands on the beach which is a family run small Non AI resort. The other is Blue Cave Castle on the cliffs.

Banana Shout or Catcha Falling Star are bothh on the cliffs and are highly recommended by others, each for unique reasons. Banana Shout is A "Jamaican" experience and the one I would personally choose but to each their own. Catcha gets rave reviews also but for other reasons. I settled on the quite highly receomended Blue Cave Castle when Banana Shout was not available.

thanks Craig!!
So, we have kinda narrowed it down to :
White sands.
Rooms on the Beach.
Oasis.
Rondell.
Seastar.

So my question now would be.......would it be better to stay on/near the beach, or somewhere up in the cliff area?
After all the responses ( some sidetracked but thats OK), We truly believe we would have a great time in Negril.
Travel dates wise we have narrowed it down to April 6th-13th, or 13th -20th.
The first week is Easter, would that be a good or bad thing?? IE, would places be closed for celebrating Easter?
Sorry for the silly questions but we are ready to book ASAP!!
Cheers,
Simon and Cindy.
