I will be 'living' in the town of Negril for 97 days this winter - my longest stretch yet.
Having done many trips to Negril and spent a lot of time there over the years, I am really looking forward to it but I do have a pragmatic POV. As it is with all places, the Negril experience is different for each individual. I am at a point in my life where I could pack up and move to Negril next week, if I wanted to. But honestly I'm not sure if I want to and frankly I'm not sure that Negril would have me.
So, all things considered, will ninety-seven days be long enough for me to answer the question; 'Would I want to live in Negril?'
I'll share some of my experiences and thoughts over the coming 3 months.

Kahuna3, I will be anxious to hear how your extended stay works out. My wife and I plan on wintering in Negril when we retire.

I have family that moved Mandeville and an aunt to Montego bay. They love it. They're so lucky. Hopefully within 10 years, I can do the same.
Kahuna3,would love to hear your thoughts on the subject during your time in Nigril!

Yes, but not immediately, and not in one decisive 'move' but progressively more time over a couple years. The convenience of living in Negril has been perfect for me.
I get asked about moving there all the time, may have some thing to do with the frequent trips? The longest I have stayed is 2 weeks so how would I know if I would want to live there. I am thinking its totally different living than touristing. Its a few years away until I get an extended stay, I will go from there.
Hey Flip make sure you get a place with an extra room, for guests,![]()

Lola,
You're the first person I thought of when I saw this question.
