First trip to Negril.

[Rasta Stan]

Hi Russ, welcome to the board.
I'll be staying at the Coco La Palm (just left of your hotel as you face the water) Drop by and chat, I can point you towards what ever your looking for. You can meet a tone of people at the Broadcasts.
See you there.

Good Morning Russ! and welcome to Negril.com. As too what to do...depends on how busy you want to be and how big of a budget you have. Remember the best part of Negril is just parking yourself on the beach and/or walking the beach. Sitting and watching the world go by is a fulltime job in Negril. If you're interested in some adventure, then find yourself a taxi driver that is good to you and someone you can trust. Remember it has to be a red plate taxi. These are drivers that are licenced to carry tourists.
There are so many places to go and so much to see but because you’re only there for a week, I wouldn’t recommend doing to too much. A Black River/ YS falls day trip would be nice. If you want to hang around locally, then an afternoon trip to the Red Dragon, Rick’s Café, and a wonder down the beach to Margaritaville would also be a good idea.
There should be many return guests at the Firefly so go to the bar and ask around about what to do. Sunbeach bar is right next door to the Firefly and they have a gathering of long time Negril visitors. Some have been going there for many years. Seek out Dennis at Sunbeach and he’ll point out some people to talk to.
