This December I am turning 50. I really, really wanted to be in Negril for my birthday and Christmas however life and work gets in the way. Now my Mother has offered to take me on a trip as a special present although I would have to travel before my birthday and Christmas. It would still be wonderful in early December and very generous of my mom.

I have checked into Nirvana where we usually stay and I cannot get a 2 bdrm cottage during the dates I am available.

So looking for suggestions for a 2 bdrm on the beach. My mother has mobility problems so on ground floor with very few stairs is best. Definitely need lots of shade on the beach. Could do either a cottage or a hotel but would like to have a small kitchenette for making snacks and keeping juice and red stripe, and do not want Mom to have to walk very far to the beach so on the beach side versus road side is preferred.

Also, my husband and I usually travel together so I don't have issues walking along the beach at night to go to a show or a bar but will it be safe enough for my mother and I to walk or would you suggest using the road at night?

Thanking you in advance for any suggestions you can share.
