I had to read your post a few times and my jaw was hangin. You are at Catcha and want to get away? For me that place is home and my favorite place in Negril. And I am a CLIFF person all the way - I cannot get enough of the peace and view from there. I can't manage all the activity on the beach except during the day for a few hours. But we all have our own view of vacation so I understand.

Were you just tryin out the cliffs? You can move to the beach or taxi down to party. The police gave good advice about walking along West End in the dark - the drivers go very fast and don't leave much room to walk so you have to be sharp at all times. Legitimate route taxis are the way to go. Lots of fun to be had on West End and ask around for live music too. Big venues are on the beach but just minutes away. And there is always the webcasts on RealNegril.com - they are a blast.

You want to have the very best vacation so I would move if I was unhappy or just make note for next time. I hope you have a blast every day you are there (and hope you will share with a trip report maybe?) Bless
