If you were going to stay for 3 months or more, WHERE? How much would you budget?

Damn Negrilaholic Aug. is to late to help me. I arrive in Negril the end of May and only have a place to stay until June 2nd. I plan on staying all of June and was hoping to get some ideas of cheap places to stay on here. The cheaper the place to longer I can stay. At this point I don't have a return flight and don't plan on booking one until I decide to leave. Maybe I will have to do the research for u. My hope is to make some friends while in Jamaica and be able to stay with a family in the hills. If not that just get a real cheap room, I really need next to nothing but a bed and a place to bath.

Lola - Where do u stay? U have a house or stay with friends? Sounds like I am like u. I can spend very little compared to others and still have just as much fun.

To tell you the truth - staying with new found friends up in the hills can end up costing you more than staying in a guest house or hotel. Some folks concept of budget isn't necessarily the same as us travelers. I speak from experience, I have been stay "local" for a while and some folks just don't seem to understand that the funds are not unlimited or must be portioned out to last longer. Feelings can get hurt or they can perceive you as being cheap. For a longer term stay you could try Green Leaf Cabin on the boulevard across from Coco LaPalm. Reasonable rates with a variety of options and you can get a break for long term stay. Call Jenny James @ 876-957-4677 or 876-429-6438.

Green Leaf is my back up plan. Cheap, clean & reasonable. I consider Jenny a friend and visit her whenever I come down. But I still want to consider other options for long term stay, maybe a little more private or off the beaten path.

Peace.
