After spending three Christmas/New Years in other countries, we are doing Negril again next year (WOO HOO!) WE ARE BAAAACKKKKKK!!!!!
Hate to say it, but Hawaii, Curacao and Mexico DO NOT hold a candle to 7 mile!!!
That being said, I am sure there have been a lot of changes since 2009. Looking for:

1. Hotel on beach (or across Norman Manley WITH BEACH ACCESS)
2. Must have kitchenette
3. NO all inclusive please

Hooping there are some new hotels - have always stayed at NBCC and just want a fresh start.

Will consider cliffs as well (hoping a cab ride to beach is still $2/pp)

Again, not saying anything people on this board do not know.....NEGRIL ROCKS.
