Ok so the wife and I are planning another trip to Jamaica for 2 weeks in September. This will be our 3rd time.

First trip 10 days, we did the AI thing in Mo Bay at Sandals was more than I had hoped for but we didnt get the local feel. Being insulated left us wanting.

Second trip 2 weeks we hit Negril hired our own driver and stayed at Firefly. Spent about 3 nights in the beach cabin and then upgraded to the penthouse.
We enjoyed our stay and walked the beach everyday. Food was sometimes a chore as we went in the low season.

Now here I am ready to begin planning for our 3rd trip and I am thinking maybe switch it up a little. I have pretty much decided to go check out the Lost Beach Resort which is further south of Negril for part of our trip. I checked it out online and sounds like something for us.(Anyone been there? Your experience?) A nice beach that we are likely to have to ourselves. We have often wanted to find a beach off the beaten path with no Higglers and just us and the sea....This is at the time of our anniversary and we are romantic what can I say. Also need a driver that knows that area.....TO get from Mobay to LBR.

So the remainder of the trip is what I am looking to fill. 1/3 will be LBR...Any ideas as to a good but not name brand AI in Negril? I would like 1/3 at a place like that. Nice section of beach and great food is #1. We are also suckers for value we do not go for inflated prices.

The last 1/3 I am thinking maybe the cliff's. Closest we got was Ricks last time. Here is what we need. Shallow and calm water with easy access as the wife is a nervous swimmer. Loves the water so it has to have that. Also some seclusion for the room or cabin. We like our oasis of privacy as each time we come to Jamaica we are again on honeymoon.

Last is to maximise on transportation. Begin with an AI to get the free ride or end for same. Anyone having done this before please give info and ideas on getting around and again maximising value.

The wife leaves the planning up to me and we discuss before we decide and book.....

Cant wait for our next trip but it comes and goes so fast. Thank you for any help...
