Newbie Intro & Caves booked!
Hi everyone! I’ve been excitedly waiting for my account to be approved and reading all of your wonderful stories, trip reports, and recommendations while I do. Thanks to everyone who makes this board an awesome source for info. I read about the board on Trip Advisor and I totally like the close “personality” of this place better, so I’ll be sticking here for as long as you’ll have me.
My husband and I are Negril first-timers, with our honeymoon coming up in mid-April. We booked at The Caves, and I don’t see many people here talk about it. We did not want a standard All Inclusive, but we did want to treat ourselves right for something once-in-a-lifetime. I hope we didn’t make a mistake! Is The Caves not often mentioned due to lack of popularity, or is the price just that prohibitive that people usually go elsewhere?
I kind of regret going the AI route, now, because I see so many awesome places that I’d like us to be able to go – to get the real lay of the land and to get our tourist dollars into the local economy. Still, we’ll be there for 8 nights, so we will hopefully have plenty of time to do a mix of both.
It looks like April is a very popular time to go, based on the check-in thread I saw. We won’t be there when the “boardie” festivities are going on, which is a shame because you all seem like awesome people to hang out with and I’d love to have met some of you. As it is, we’ll be there April 16-24, and we’ve already arranged to head out on the One Love Bus Crawl on Thursday the 18th. (Isn’t it usually Wednesday? Maybe it filled up and started another day that week…)
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself before I start jumping into all your threads willy-nilly. I’m Kim, from Maryland, and this will be my first International Trip at all. So please forgive any stupid questions – I’ll try to use the search before I ask ‘em.
Take care everyone!
