we are beach people....1st stay, all beach...2nd stay 13 days beach, but we did what fred stripe just said, we negotiated a room a blue cave castle for one night....left most of our stuff at the beach, just took enuff for the one night....canoe rum punch knocked me out and I didnt get much out of that stay except that my wife was bored and i was out.... so the next trip we tried 3 nights at catcha, (got a deal due to construction) and for the 1st 2 days, we were bored again....the place was almost empty...on the 3rd day, we were joined by a couple of friends and it was a lot better, but still too quiet at night....so on our last trip, we planned on staying at catch, again with our friends...but the waves were high for the 1st day and couldnt get in the water...i was missing the beach the whole time....dont know if we will do a cliff stay this time, but we will always visit....just love the beach....we were beach people before negril....
