A phone is very useful for calling your driver or for anything else. No charge except for the credit which is negligible

Cheers CaptainD! I'm guessing this credit is in the form of "pre-paid" minutes on a card? Also, sending an email to the address in your signature.

You can easily buy a card and call home, get a taxi or arrange a tour anytime you want. When I get a loaner phone and find myself out having a drink or a bite to eat and someone asks for help with something, I only have to pick up the phone and call.

Yes, this is what I was thinking. I just wasn't sure if it was acceptable to use one drivers phone to call another driver if you needed a ride home from a bar late at night. etc, seems like drive adultery lol......glad to hear this is OK to do.

If quiet during the day matters to you ask for a room far from the main dining room as they are doing a major expansion on it this summer

Thanks for this info Linder....I was not aware of construction. Hoping the dining room will be open? Either way we are easy going folks, we don't allow little matters to deter from our enjoyment & relaxation!

Negril AIN'T like MoBay[/U][/B]

Thanks Smith! This is what we are most excited about. Mobay was fun, but it felt a bit ...hmm...fake? Or like we were missing something. That strip ain't so hip IMO, and we really wanted to get out & walk & explore, but it just didn't seem to work like that for us.

And dont forget to come back and write us a trip report. We all love hearing about people's first Negril experience.

I promise I will, after all I've taken from this great resource of info, it only seem right to make a deposit back into that bank of knowledge!

Ha! I'm used to it now, been reading for a few weeks......at first it would take me a couple mins once I hit smiths posts! But, I didn't dare skip them because there was usually a few good nuggets of knowledge in each. Now, It's like I've become fluent in another language, and can blaze right through them.

On my last trip I arrived at 2:30pm but I get my driver to stop at Mega Mart in MoBay. This way I can then go directly to my hotel and relax. I do find things are cheaper there than in Negril and it's become part of my trip.

YEP, We drop by Mega Mart on da way too.

Might want to consider stopping at HiLo or MegaMart in MoBay. I've found that there are more beggars, hagglers, etc. at the Negril HiLo. I recommend a phone to contact taxi drivers for rides. It's easy to get a ride, but I feel more comfortable just reusing some of the drivers that seem friendly and/or professional, especially after dark.

We are good friends with the man with the wood craft stand at Coco and he told us that the dining room was expanding both to the left and right beachside and that guests would be accommodated at their other restaurant the beach bar which usually sells lunch/snack foods. The main kitchen was to remain open so menu for main restaurant stayed the same.
When we were at Coco last summer they were constructing the new beach bar where you will now dine. Theres also a bit of brick patio and sand between the the beach bar and the restaurant that offers tree shaded dining tables if you wish to feel more outdoors.

Construction is done only during the day and is curtained off as much as possible. Never bothered us a bit. You are going to love the food there. Bananna bread. jerk chicken bbq, and their spicy shrimp appetizer......mmmmm.

I had no cell phone for a week. I am on vacation. I found no phone to be very relaxing and peaceful. The damn thing drives me nuts...
