    You fell into our little stretch of heaven. I drive so I'm away from the beach often, but we have stayed at Mariposa for many many reaches and that area is our loose short and wet hair out of the shower stretch of the beach. The amp at Tony's is compliments of a mobile sound rig I had, we helped Niah re-build after Ivan in 2004 (?), I have countless sunset and sunrise shots on that stretch of the 7 Miles. Hope the sand is fading back and am very happy to hear you had a soft landing on the Island.

    Funny thing is I know Dennis, have spent many a day at Mom's, like the shady escape into Nirvana and have quite a few memories of Yellow Bird from over the years, sure would be hard to give a reccomendation but do hope you fall soft to whatever your choice.
    I have won many awards in a lifetime of competition and service. But the highest was offered without plaque or fanfare on a hilltop in post Ivan Jamaica. A true Rasta and a dear friend observed "Chet you are like a father of men, you see need and fulfill that need without being asked". Let us be travelers and not tourist.

    Great 1st post, we love to see new fans (addicts?) of Negril. This means more people returning and bringing their friends and supporting
    the small economy.

    Don't stress too much about where to stay, find a place that looks good to you and go. You will have many future trips to try other places.

    Great Report and welcome fellow Negrilholic.

    Your visit reminds me of our first time to Negril in 2010. We stayed at Beaches and it was highly recommended that we not venture past the resort. I'm sure glad we did. We now visit our new extended family at CocolaPalm. We find there's too little choice at too high a price at the AI resorts.
    Be who you are and say what you feel... because those that matter... don't mind...and those that mind don't matter.

    very intresting that you booked a AI and then ventured out...There is so much more to jamaica than Negril beach and cliffs! Nice but go up in the country too! I would suggest Barb B Barn on te beach. It has a great italian rest upstairs and a nice staff of people! Im glad you went outside your comfort zone!

    I am a huge fan of the beach (and the Phillies) but spent one entire afternoon at Xtabi eating, drinking and cliff jumping. It was a great time but I could not wait to get back to the action that the beach has to offer. I must say that I did return to the cliffs for meals a few times (Rockhouse, Just Natural and 3 Dives). Things to think about for your next reach.

    I'm glad you ventured off the AI and found more of what Negril is all about, and met some really cool people. I have no doubt that wherever you decide to end up staying for your next trip that you will have an incredible time. Oh and if you do happen to want a "traditional" Thanksgiving feast while there, I have heard that Seastar puts out a great spread..also, you have got to check out their Saturday night show!

    thanks for all of the ideas.

    we are booking 7 days so a trip into the countryside as well as exploring the cliffs are in.

    the prices of these places are all so reasonable.
