Nicole,
This is the perfect place to ask questions about any place in Negril. Many of our posters first visited Negril and stayed at an AI. They have learned over time that the best part about Negril is getting out of the resort, which most AIs tend to frown upon.
There is a much broader wealth of information here than on TripAdvisor, which does tend to focus on the All Inclusives. I would suppose that this is partially due to the fact that TripAdvisor is owned by Expedia, which makes much more money in commissions when an AI is booked over the smaller, boutique properties which charge less and that Negril is famous for having more than most tropical destinations.
Gailie in Calgary will no doubt have their questions answered here because many of our posters have stayed at Riu in the past.
