I've never stayed at a hotel on the cliffs but when i was there for the summer i stayed with my grandmother on the cliffs and i didn't miss the beach at all..and i consider myself to be a beach girl... the vibe on the cliffs is very different than on the beach..its just relaxed and very chill.. its beautiful..
i was there for 2 months and i went to the beach like 5 times... i mostly just walked around the cliffs..
Ok, I feel relieved! Thanks for all the input. I'm going to leave things as they are and just enjoy the experience!
No worries hon! If you get serious beach withdrawals you all just come visit us at CC! I'm kinda jealous of your plans! It never occurred to me to split our trip between the beach and the cliffs. We will have to try that someday. I'm hoping to spend a lot more time on the cliffs this trip, everyone makes it sound chill and amazing. I know your going to have a great time, your in going to be in Negril!Originally Posted by tfw73

It all depends on what you are looking for. I used to be a beach bum, but stayed on the cliffs and now I only go to the beach for a day of action if that's what I'm looking for at the time then I head back to the cliffs to less hassel. I love the cliffs peace.

I'm doing my first cliff stay in a few weeks. I originally planned on doing 7 nights on the cliffs then booking the last 2 nights back on the beach, but the more I thought about packing up and moving everything for just a few days I decided to just do the whole 9 days on the cliffs...I'll let you know how it goes!

me too r-gal. i can't do split stays - once i'm unpacked i never wanna even SEE the suitcase again until i have to leave. i do stay on the cliffs from time to time as well, and while it's lovely, i DO seriously miss being right on the sand. From now on it's back to the beach for me and i'll visit the cliffs, instead of the other way around.
tfw73, i think it's eminently worth it to check it out up there though; the beach is still right there, only a few minutes away. and you might really enjoy the wonderful laidback cliff vibes too - you won't know til you try it, so i'd say go for it!
We just returned a couple weeks ago from our first split stay 3 days at Rock House and 7 days at Coco, I really enjoyed the west end vibe and snorkeling right off the resort was really nice, also lots of great places to eat and drink on the west end, the Beach is also really nice and good for people watching and I really enjoy walking the beach. After staying on the beach for 10 or more trips in the last 20 years it was a nice change to split it up. I think next year maybe 50/50 split would be nice and a couple more days maybe extend the stay to12 days, It's never long enough and goes way to fast. only 340 some odd days to get back!

I don't think you will regret your decision. It's good to mix it up once in a while. I started out doing the exact same thing...but WARNING....you just might get hooked on the cliffs!! It's happened to many of us. This trip, we were there 3 weeks and it was 2 weeks into our vacation when I realized my feet hadn't touched the sand!!!
Don't worry yourself, the beach is only a route taxi ride away!!! Enjoy your stay and don't forget to let us know how you liked it!
