Fozzy,

Welcome to the board. April is a wonderful month to visit Negril. I have stayed at both Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away, but that was back in the 90's. Back then I preferred Couples Swept Away on Long Bay. Couples Negril is on Bloody Bay and that is far more developed today then it was back in the 90's.

If you aren't certified for Scuba diving you will have to take the resort course at Couples. Plan on 1/2 day for the resort course before you can scuba. It is a wonderful experience.

As Rob stated, please join the LIVE webcasts on www.realnegril.com to ask any questions.

My adventures in Negril started at the All Inclusives and this board convinced me to leave the All Inclusives and stay at Non AI places.

Negril is basically two sections. The Beach and the Cliffs. The Couples resorts are on the beach section and Seastar Inn is on the Cliffs.

I spent 14 years on the beach and tried Seastar Inn on the cliffs in 2006. I loved Seastar and don't plan on going back to the beach.

Mayfield Falls is my personal favorite for a 1/2 day trip from Negril.

Enjoy,

VVHT
