Where to Stay 2 Extra Nights?

[ColdInNB]

Catcha is booked. Seastar is also booked. Pretty much choices 1-6 are booked. I guess that's what you get for a last minute decision to extend!

New First Choice - BCC has rooms available but the on line booking indicates a 3 night minimum. I have asked via email anyway. If it is available for 2 nights we will stay there.

New Backup - I have emailed Rockhouse for availability and will stay there if available and BCC is not. We loved Rockhouse but it would go against our informal "never stay anywhere twice policy".

I am still trying to find out how far past Whoppies that Hide Awhile is located, if anyone knows. We want to be able to walk back in to LTU, Sir D's, Seastar, and other regular stops. I am guessing about 1/2 kilometer based on google earth and the negril cliffs map

If all else fails we can stay on the beach. What a great problem to have!!!

I posted a link to a map a couple of posts up... I should have included that it's an interactive map and you can drag it (take a virtual walk), and/or search what you're looking for. I did this and see that Hide Awhile is, in my opinion, pretty far out. It is quite a ways past the Lighthouse, but I can't for the life of me place where Whoopie's is along the way ... I've been there, but can't remember. Sorry. - k

I should really learn to read. It looks like you did look at the maps, and I'd agree with your 1/2 km guess on distance. After I posted the useless message above, I looked and found the negril map and it shows Whoopie's and Hide Awhile...

Good luck with the rest of your planning! - k

We stayed at Idle Awhile in January, as we do ever year. Spent a few hours at Hide Awhile and it was beautiful, the rooms were magical, with the most beautiful blue tile work (We asked for a tour) . It was very quiet, but I could definitely do it for 2 nights, just for the experience. If you haven't stayed at Idle Awhile, I would definitely take the free shuttle and spend an afternoon there.

I love Blue Cave Castle, but the places that you've mentioned you want to walk to are definitely in closer proximity to Hide Awhile...

And the winner is.....Hide Awhile. The rooms look beautiful. They had availability and we can go to Idle Awhile through the day if we want

Thanks for all the great advice. BCC is on the list for future trips although next year is Port Antonio.

We don't mind quite. We spend our day off resort "sightseeing" and usually go out to dinner. Peaceful at nights is not a bad thing. I have had many nights on the beach where I have listened to a band into the early hours of the morning and I was not at the concert!!!
