I would say follow the board daily for trip reports, responses to threads, I know I've picked up alot since reading it.

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon will inevitably come to pass.
Pub crawl is a must. Dont forget sat nite at the seastar....they will pick you up and take back.
Get outside the confines of the RUI. Meet the real Jamaicans.
Dear Gary, Limo Mon suggested you leave the bling at home, bring less clothes and more money! Good suggestion! Perhaps you can fill the empty space from less clothes with more clothes--for St. Anthony's Kitchen. We have a thrift shop at The Kitchen and are always looking for clothing! Just a thought! Have a great time here with us! Peace and all good and safe travel. --Fr. Jim
Get a ride to Margarita at about 11AM and then head south on the beach until you reach town.... Stopping everywhere that tickles your fancy.
Relax & have fun :-)
Go to Xtabi and explore the caves, while drinking their famous dirty banana! Wear your swimsuit, you'll want to jump in!
Welcome to the board.
I would suggest you go to www.realnegril.com and check out the schedule for LIVE webcasts from Negril. You can join in the chat and ask questions. The advantage of the LIVE webvcast is you see popular spots in Negril that aren't INSIDE the gates of the All Inclusive on Bloody Bay. As others have said "Go outside the gates and explore". I liked Bossman's idea of hooking up with someone who has been to Negril before.
FYI, look for the Red Dragon Restaurant in Red Groud for Jerk Pork. The Canoe Bar is on Mary's Bay on the West End Road or One Love Drive.
Enjoy,
VVHT
There are several favorite Taxi Drivers around Negril. Many have had posts regarding them on this site. Contact one of them for a day drive around the countryside. No destination in particular, just a drive around and hit a few of the little bars and sites in and around the area. You won't regret it.
Check out the original Office of Nature, up the beach towards the RIU Club. I'd also highly recommend the One Love Bar Crawl - try and do it early in your stay so you can go back to some of the bars if you want!
I stayed at RIU Club Negril last year and took a few walks down to RIU Tropical Bay since my aunt and uncle were staying there at the same time. Apparently Tropical Bay guests have exchange privileges with both properties because they were able to move freely, order drinks and eat between the 2 properties. This was nice because we walked back and fourth with them often!
On your walk you must have the fresh caught lobster (their lobster crates are sitting in the ocean with the live lobster they caught that morning) and a cold Red Stripe at the Original Office of Nature! But don't confuse it with the "new" Office of Nature which is right next door.Still fun to stop and chat at each spot with the locals. Also bring a large thermal travel mug. Those Pina Coladas melt really fast in the small plastic cups they give you at the RIU, plus it's easy to go to the bartenders and ask for an extra shot of rum to top off your drink.
Have fun!!
