Newbies? Your fairly quick on the "talk" mon' . then there's ...Irie, respect etc. you'll learn as you go. We have stayed at The palace, the club hotel, couples. All in Bloody Bay. When you are walking you'll more than likely come across one of the beach venders named Louie Lamoure, self proclaimed "King of the beach" . Or I say "King of the beggars". Anyhoo, quite a character. Have a cold Red Stripe @ The office of nature, & you'll find your fire there. Yeah AI's are nice {don't have to carry money, eat, drink to the max, etc.} but, we've found the smaller resorts are nice too. More local folks interaction, cooler vibes. I guess we learned as we went too. In Dec. will be our 10th Negril trip. Seastar & Tree House. We're from Minnesota too. Yes, like other posts stated. Do the Saturday nite Seastar party, Lenbert's party bus , Try the Thursday ladies night at The Jungle. Have the jerk chicken @ Best in the West. But, for this trip you paid for the AI palace, so what are ya gonna do? I think your next trip, you'll know. Congratulations on your wedding, have a great honeymoon in paradise. The Jamacian people are super nice. {we have many friends there now}. Smile lots, walk good, be aware of your surroundings, be respectful. Learn to say "No thanks, mon'". Do a sunset booze cruise. I think the Riu's bought the "Wild Thing". Be careful, if you jump off the cliffs @ Rick's. Hope my ramblings help. Good Luck. Evryting's Irie!
