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.

we have stayed at Rondell & Country Country and found we really prefer CC to Rondell. Rondells beach outside of the wall is cramped and looking at Negrilonestop we found CC cheaper since their price already includes the 20% tax/fees that everyone collects

4th consecutive CC visit in February. We split our stays with Blue Cave Castle but have found we do enjoy the beach much more. LOL we seem to spend the day on the beach and have dinner on the cliffs practically ever day.

After alway staying on the beach, this year it's 7 days of beach at White Sands followed by 7 days of cliffs at Blue Cave Castle. We have never stayed on the cliffs but always enjoyed multiple "day trips" there each reach. We decided to give BCC a try. We may end up cabbing it to the beach from there, who knows. Either way it will be a unique experience and all will be irie.
