Love your insight Smith744! The past several visits to Negril, have been during this time period. I have to say that I think Smith's assessment is right on. Tend to stay pon da cliffs during NYE but if I do venture down the road to NM....it is generally crazy with traffic. However, fun traffic! Might as well know that during the big hours...no need to look for route taxi....too much traffic. We had to walk to the beginning of West End Road to get beyond the traffic jam. Gotta pay a bit more if it is later, ie. 1-2 am. So if you want to be part of the action....go for it! IT truly is an adventure! Just be aware that there may be some walking involved unless you just want to sit in traffic for a while. Enjoy!
