First Trip Report from our Third Trip to Negril - 12 Days In Paradise

[agregory]

We really liked the location of Chippewa Village, especially having Best in the West at the end of the driveway – YUM! I can’t tell you how many times we ate their jerk chicken during our first 4 days! This was our first time not staying on the beach, but across the street from it. I think that for the low price we paid for the large room with small kitchen and AC (only needed first day), the value was great. The guard dog, Princess, was sweet to the guests, but definitely made sure the guys who shouldn’t be there didn’t come in as we witnessed twice.

Each morning we would cross the street to Charlera or Idle Awhile to have breakfast on the beach and use their beach chairs and maybe have a drink - or several We also checked out Coco La Palm’s beach and bar, which was really nice to hang out on too. My favorite dirty banana of the trip was from Coco.

Our first full day was spent walking up and down the beach. I don’t have many pictures because it was a bit overcast and windy. The weather was a little different than on previous trips. The water was pretty rough for Negril, but beautiful as always! And it rained more than usual, but no problem mon The Jamaicans were thankful for the rain, so we were happy for them. We did enjoy a gorgeous sunset –



Our second day was the One Love Bus for our third time. It was a blast as always! It’s funny that we have run into some of the same people each year. Once we go we know – lol! There was a bit of a scary moment on one of our stops on the pub crawl. A woman passed out at our third (?) stop. We found out once this happened that the ambulance was broken down, which is a sad fact that happens here sometimes Of course, Lenbert saved the day by riding off on a motorcycle to his house and driving a car back for his wife to take her to a doctor to be checked out. Thankfully, she ended up being OK. And the crawl continued. Here’s a few from the pub crawl -



We were beach bums again on our third day. We discovered Woodstock and ended up going back a couple times. It’s a great place to hang out on the beach, chat to bartenders, patrons, have drinks and enjoy!
