We are looking to go in October as well - haven't decided which resort yet so I'm open to suggestions. It'll likely be three couples in total. We've been to Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Lucea in the past...now looking forward to trying Negril! Last time we were there (just last month), we brought my parents for the first time and used a tour company for day trips. I'll let you know when we're booked - maybe we can hook up for a celebratory drink!!!
