Geeeze, just try it.
We always start on the beach and end up on the cliffs to really chill.
You don't have the same thing for dinner every night, do you?

We are beach people too. I cant imagine being that close to the ocean, but not be able to just walk into it. ..... a pool just wont cut it. Are there places where there is easy access to the sea? We dont scuba, we dont dive. I could maybe be convinced to stay on the cliffs if the place was right, but since we havent been, I picture all the resorts as having pools but no water access, other than diving in.

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....

Jody, you really need to go there to see......there are ladders into the sea or just jump in from low points....can't get much easier than that.......check out Xtabi or go to Catcha fallin star at 5:00 for sunset and a drink and check out the access. Every place that is on the sea front on the cliffs have easy access to the sea.Originally Posted by Jody
A new husband of a friend of ours, when he visited our cottage #4 at Xtabi asked our friend,
"What do they do up there?"
She replied, "Nothing, absolutely nothing."
Less beggars on the Cliffs. That's a big plus .....
It really is a matter of preference. For us, we value the peacefulness of the cliffs along with an ocean-view room. Most resorts on the cliffs have plenty of ocean view rooms. On the beach, they are harder to come by and when you find one they usually cost a premium and often have views obstructed by palm trees. We always spend a few afternoons walking the beach, but at the end of the day we enjoy retreating to the cliffs to escape the hustle and bustle. The cliffs have a chill vibe, for sure, but you can always find some action if you want to. There is always some late night activity at places like De Bar, Mi Yard, No Limit and others.

we only stayed on the beach the first several trips although we ate/drank at many places in the cliffs so a few years ago we did split stays, after 2 trips like that we're back to the beach exclusively, unless I was one to sleep all day the cliffs were just too slow and we were bored any day we didn't do a roadtrip to a Mayfield Falls or visit the beach
I just wish there were more great places to eat on the beach - it seems like most of our favorite restaurants are on the cliffs
Read your post before I read who posted it. I was going to say "I feel the exact same way" But we've had this convo in person, havent we?
Hmmmm..... but if I stayed on the cliffs, I'd have to bring shoes to Jamaica!
I do like the sand in my toes and my door 30 steps from the wata!
