Best place for a single guy to stay in Negril?

[Clarity]

Thank you everyone for your helpful advice and great suggestions! I really appreciate it!

I’m going to tell him to look into Bar B Barn, Roots Bamboo, Negril Treehouse, Fun Holiday and Alfreds as a starting point. I know he wants to be on the beach. They’re all pretty central in location to all the stuff going on. I really want him to feel like he’s a part of it all and get the Negril vibe.

He’s talking about splitting his trip between two hotels like we did. I’m thinking that an AI might be the best way to start the first 3 days.

The Grand pineapple would be a good choice if we were going WITH him …but as a solo traveler, I’m afraid he might get lonely there. I remember a lot of people speaking foreign languages. It can be really quiet at night, bar closes at 11 or 12, lights shut off… Everyone goes to sleep…you just hear crickets. If he doesn’t meet someone to go out with he’ll end up retiring to bed early too.

My worst nightmare is that he returns from Negril saying that it was “Boring” – Honestly, I don’t know how anyone could return with that impression but I want to remove any possibility. Lol

So that leaves Riu Negril Club and Hedonism as two possible choices. Does anyone know how the scene is in Riu Negril? Are the bars open late? Is there live music to dance to and shows to watch? How is the beach there? Would you recommend this hotel? I’m worried that it’s isolated from the rest of Negril because it’s in Bloody Bay…

Then there is Hedonism …which he DID express interest in after viewing the website because they make it sound like paradise on earth.

Marko & Stuck –You mentioned that it’s become very couple oriented. So You definitely wouldn’t recommend it to a single guy. I think he would be better off "X"ing that one off his list of possible hotels then. Thanks for the heads up!
