Attachment 25588My wife and I have been coming to Negril almost every year since 2001. We love it for all the reasons you do.
We always stay at The Treehouse and enjoy it. What's troubling is the beach erosion and I just thought I would post some pics. The hammock pic at bottom is from our first trip in 2001. We are in a hammock (tree has long been dead) next to the bar and there was soooo much beach in front of the bar. The beach has been slowly going away every year but this is what we saw (top pic) when we arrived at the end of March. Half the beach was gone. There used to be a volleyball court at the back end of the beach but that's where the lounge chairs had to be positioned because where they used to be, is now underwater. Distressing. Sandbags were being used to help with erosion and it seemed to be helping because by the time we left 7 days later the sandbags were almost covered.
Ok so you don't feel totally bummed we enjoyed three dives for first time - Twice! Sweet spice still has outstanding oxtail (prepare to wait an hour for it). Niah's is still standing somehow and it's awesome! The jerk sausage at Push cart is still almost worth the trip (though the power went out while we were there). Ossie's still has the best jerk in Negril IMHO.
