Huge thanks to all that share information on this board. First return to Negril since the 80's for me - don't even ask what's wrong with me, I think I'm cured now, will be back regularly - and the advice and info shared here truly helped to make our trip more enjoyable by limiting the hit or miss aspect of most vacations to an unknown place. Of course a lot of changes to the area, but Negril is still a very special place. Cannot adequately explain to others that have not been there, the magical/mystical process that envelopes you and transports you to a different level of awareness when in Jamaica, and especially when in Negril. A big thing today in some circles is living in the moment, the power of now, and all that sort of stuff. A person certainly gets a big dose of that watching a sunset in Negril. Certainly I do. Nothing else seems to exist in the world during those Negril sunsets. From Cosmos beach to Canoe and up to Sir D's. Of course preaching to the choir here.
Again, thanks to all for info regarding transportation, accommodations, eats, and sights to see.
My big thumbs up to:
Kingsley, and his son Damien, for private taxi service. Based at Xtabi.
Breakfast at Pablos and Canoe and Blue Cave Castle. And yes, very good coffee at Canoe, however best I ever had was at Charela at the bar.
Unbelievable.
Lunch and dinner - any small place up and down One Love Drive. Didn't have any bad food experiences. Aubies burgers are special and the two for one
lobster at Canoe is a great deal. Red Dragon is worth a visit or two.
Drinks - My favorite ended up being No Limit. Really liked the owners, vibe, and prices. Also Sir D's is a really unique place to check out.
Couldn't wait to get back to PeeWees, but only went once. Only time I got sad while in Jamaica.
Seastar Saturday nights. Fun stuff.
Bar Crawl courtesy of Lenbert. More fun stuff.
Jamaicans. What a People. Walk whenever, wherever you can. Meet people. Talk to people. The absolute best.
