Negril is great copper350, and if your goal for your vacation is to party and chill and socialize with other 'tourists', then that's where you want to spend your time. But in IMHO, you're short-changing yourself if you only ever visit Negril when traveling to Jamaica. Port Antonio is beautiful, as are many other areas of Jamaica. It's a shame that our vacations can't be extended to take in all the special destinations around the island. You might consider taking 5 days for the PA excursion - spend 3 nights there and 2 days for the road travel -- then the rest of your time in Negril. Don't even think about making it a day trip .... you wouldn't have time to get out of your car. I'm anxious to hear your evaluation/report of your PA adventure.
