While I love Negril much more than Mobay...I would not discount a couple of nights there. It is a completely different scene but it has some pretty neat places that are completely different than Negril. Pier One is an awesome night club and we have had fun at BlueBeat and Margaritaville late at night too...Mobay has a much more active night life. For dinner there are more mainstream places to eat including The Twisted Kilt and The Bobsled Cafe...both I have found to be very good. For an excellent meal, Marguerites is phenominal...just be prepared for a pretty large bill. For some really excellent Jerk there is The Pork Pit and Scotchies. Hotel wise we have stayed at three that are all on the Hip Strip. Toby's, Doc Caves and The Wexford. All perfectly fine for a night or two.
We always spend the last night of a Negril Trip in Mobay, it makes the travel day home that much less hetic with a 1.5 mile drive to the airport, not a 1.5 hour one. To me also it is about the experience...while I don't think I could ever spend a week there, I love the short stays.
