NYCGirl,

Rainbow Arches was there this March. Will be back in Negril in Nov and hopefully it will still be open. When is your next reach?

Hi Gigi,
Headed to Negril in 2 Weeks with the first 2 days on the Cliffs and the rest of the trip at Charela on the beach. I always worry that because Rainbow is on such a coveted part of the beach that someone would buy out that establishment...nice to know that has not happened.

Cosmos is at the far end of the beach, but they have a shuttle there and back for cliff dwellers if you want. They will watch your stuff. Most of the non-AI's are glad to have you - Sunbeach, Fun Holiday, Travellers (but their beach is really not great), Sunset on the Beach (the bartender is a sweetie!) - but it's at the end near Negril. Most charge for chairs. Buy a few drinks and you're good to go.

What are these containers from Walmart? They sound great!

I second "The Wild Parrot" as a place to hang out on the beach. Only a short walk to Margaritaville, The Parrot is nice, has a nice menu, a cool bar, restrooms, a shower, and changing rooms. When in Negril, and I am a Cliff Dweller, I hang out at the Parrot on my beach days as do several xpats that I know.

Seasplash lets you leave your stuff at the bar, then hit the beach. They watch over it for you.

Thanks for all the suggestions eyeryone!!!

NegrilSalute, that a good idea. Could do that beach day 1 and scope out what's what. If we do a day 2, we would then have a better idea of what's what

Heard/read about the all higglers....we'll be alright...(I'm 6'2"/215 and not easily intimidated)......a smile, and no thanks, mon!!

Have the map from: http://media.tripod.lycos.com/2567851/2007898.pdf all 5 pages printed in color on card stock and laminated in plastic. Thought it might come in handy.

Appreciate any and all suggestions...this board is great!!...we will be able to reference this down there as we have a PC in our villa.

WildThingCruises??, Cost of taxi??? Anyone??

Thanks all

I second the walkin the beach idea. My wife and I walked every day for 2 weeks and really enjoyed explorin. My advise is to wear a bathing suit and repeat this in a mirror. "Jus walkin today" for the higglers you will encounter on your way.

We also went on the Wild Thing during our stay for the sunset cruise. Price hmmmm like $55.00 per person? Was a couple years ago so I am foggy. OH look heres a website... http://www.wildthingwatersportsnegril.com/
Picks you up at Margaritaville. Was drinks and food. The food was a Pizza that went fast yet was good. The drinks never ran out. Rum Punch and Red Stripe. Trip to Ricks Cafe to watch the divers. You could swim to shore if you wanted to jump. Had music. Now the choice is yours you would likely get just as good of a boat trip by walking the beach and talking to someone on a boat. Dont bother with the people walking the beach that want to sell you a tour. Usually they own nothing and just add in money for themselves. We used Captian Andy down near Fire Fly and he is a really nice guy. You can negotiate and get food and drinks included if you like but usually that needs to be planned ahead of time. The boat ride you can do anytime.
As for a Taxi we winged it just stepped out on Norman Manly Blvd that runs along the beach and flagged one down. (Red Plate) One night we went to Ricks and then dinner and back to our room all for $15.00 US the driver was more than happy to wait for us at each stop no charge for that. Remember negotiate before getting in and pay when he is finished delivering you.
