Sounds like you are having a great time. I've been going by and going to Bantons for many years. Pretty much right in my neighborhood.
$40 r/t from Legends to Rhodes Hall? And you gave Patrick a hard time? Just kidding, I'm yanking your chain but yeah...you made that driver's day
Something troubles me about the scooter and the helmet or lack thereof. Sure, the cops will hassle you - and in the process search you head to toe (this is not the USA) and "find" something if they are really hungry/bored. But that will be the least of your troubles if you fall down and go boom on your noggin. Jamaica is not a place where you want to suffer and great treated for a head trauma. I know I love the wind blowing through my hair on the back of a bike...but I also know if I want to keep my hair I'll cover it with a helmet. Please be careful...you have two young souls on the planet that need you around for a good long time.
OK, buzzkill over. Party on dude.
For the whole family from Legends to RH and up to Seastar and then back to Legends--40 seems fair--with all the wait times in between that is a pretty good deal for charter style I would think.
Just want to add my holy 2 piece here but what Gerry described up there was like Scrub A Dub style and I must say in the few times I was ther this last year or so it was never quite that wild so he must have hit it on the very right nights.
Gerry just a thought from a newby like myself make sure when you are joining parties and such that you are welcome there or have been invited, not winners in particular but in general some parties and some activities the locals like to partake in without tourists sometimes. A solo large white man talking about his corvette back home may stir some trouble you were not welcoming on your vacation. Girls can pull this off far more easily than men, but I must say knowing just the little I do about Jamaica I sometimes worry about you.
Remember we are guests in their country, it is their jobs to be friendly when working, doesn't mean they have to be friends and hang around with us when off the clock.
Children Are Our Tomorrow !
i must say i agree with you. i went there with my local friend who knew some people there. we had a good time -it is a scrub a dub type place imo, and there are some ladies dancing, and probably more going on.. but it was a chill atmosphere and very nice environment on the rooftop like that.. that being said i would certainly be VERY cautious about going there alone.. and keeping personal info top your self is important at all times, but even more in places lilke this - with no other tourists around - a few bad apples spoil the bunch in jamaica - and my guess they hang out here.. lolOriginally Posted by shellyk
Sooooooo this isn't the type of party spot my sister needs to go to alone (or at all for that matter)?
It's amazing the wonderful value of the phrase "yah mon." I use it constantly, and it just brings a level of comfort cause everyone always says "yah mon" right back to me, and I feel like we're fast friends!
I ended up heading back to seven mile late last nite -- the ex wanted some stuff from the store and was with the two kids in her room at Legends -- so I stopped in, chilled a bit on the porch at Legends (very impressed with that place ... for 35 bucks or night or whatever, that's a pretty SICK deal), and then I took the kids for a little walk to hang with the Jerk chicken guys out front.
The little one who is 5 saw a HUGE land crab cruising across the street, and one of the Jerk guys caught it for her to show her the crab (I asked him to and tipped him), and it was pretty cool. Fool was big with pretty big claws. The guy said it was pregnant, too, so that's why he would not eat it. He also said if that claw clamps down on a little finger, you've got real problems .... Fun times, kid was really excited about seeing it up close.
Went to Alfreds solo for just a moment, not a good vibe in that place. Bunch of ho's tryin' to hustle me (instead of the other around, ha ha) .... There are a couple of new yardies that have checked into Seastar Inn, but it's still pretty quiet here .....

I like your style...keepin it real. I always wondered how long it would take to master the art of walking in the sand with 5 inch stilettos on
Where exactly is Winners? Is it on the road to Sav or in the roundabout area?

Nah, I have a pretty good feel for the Negril party scene, having been here a lot thru the years, and the roof party was a very chill vibe -- plus, I have a very friendly style, so I was at ease. It was a club feel, with security at the door collecting entrance fees (two dollars! what a deal!) and all that stuff.
