Welcomes RachandJ to da Board!

I would think a place like Firefly would be up your alley............
or a place like Coco LaPalm is very nice and a great resort on the beach..........
if you are open to staying on the Cliffs.......mi would point you to Catcha Falling Star........
or a place like Blue Cave Castle on the Cliffs is very nice and fairly inexpensive.........

instead of going to Ricks..........go next door to LTU........
great vibe there and think you two would enjoy it a lot

getting around you need to learn the Red Plate Route Taxi thingy.........
after a day you two will be Pros at it.........
$100J's each from Roundabout to anywhere on the beach.......and the same for the Cliffs.....
so it's $200J's each to go from say Coco LaPalm up to LTU on the Cliffs.........

Blue Hole or Mayfield Falls are the two best bets for a tour close to Negril...........
mi usually push travelers towards Mayfield Falls because it's a lot of fun.......

for the Pelcian Bar you need to get to Black River and then take the boat out to the Pelician.......
you can do the Pelcian Bar in conjuction with say YS Falls or the Black River Tour thingy.......

shopping can be had on the beach everyday......just walk up and down it and you'll see tons of stuff for sale.......
also you can go for normal civilize shopping at Times Square, the Craft Market by the Roundabout and shops at Sunshine Plaza.......

yes there is some comercialization in Negril but for the most part it's still mom and pop type operations........

read the board and ask questions and you'll be in good shape on your reach.........

Cool Runnings, Marko
