Negril is absolutely beautiful. The Jamaican people are very friendly and will do what they can to ensure a pleasurable stay. Jamaica is bursting with culture, which is evident everyplace—in food, music, language, and art.

There's something in Jamaica for everyone, but this is not the place if you are looking for seclusion. There's lots of nightlife, entertainment, music, and fun. There are also many physical activities available: day trips, snorkeling, jet skiing, hiking, parasailing, and windsailing. The food is also excellent. People with special dietary needs (e.g. vegetarians or vegans) will have to venture outside of Negril to find food. Many chefs here cook with lard and have a propensity to flavor most food with butter.

The Jamaican economy is heavily dependent on tourism, and people will try to sell you almost anything. The upside of this is that your money, especially dollars and euros, will go very far.

Negril is good for singles and couples. Single women and men won't have any difficulty meeting members of the opposite sex to entertain them. The scenery is quite romantic, so it’s also a lovely retreat for those who want to spend quality time alone.

The merchants in Negril are very aggressive when trying to sell to you. If your aren't interested, don't even look their way, otherwise you may find yourself trying to bargain for something you didn't even want in the first place. Cabs in Negril aren't cheap,…Read More

The merchants in Negril are very aggressive when trying to sell to you. If your aren't interested, don't even look their way, otherwise you may find yourself trying to bargain for something you didn't even want in the first place. Cabs in Negril aren't cheap, so be prepared to pay between US$5-12 dollars for two or more people when trying to get to the Westend or to town from seven-mile beach or vice versa. When dealing with merchants and cab drivers stick to your price until they come down some, but be reasonable with your price as well.

If you are a swimmer you will love Negril! The beaches are impeccable for swimming -- clean and very calm.

Food at most hotel restaurants is not cheap. Most seafood dishes run equal to American prices. For some good curry or jerk chicken, ask a cab driver to take you to a good food stand away from the hotels, where you can likely pay $5 for hearty and tasty food.

Rick's Cafe is a popular restaurant and club, mostly catering to tourists. Expect some expensive daiquiris. I paid $6.50 for a small coconut drink. Red Stripe, the local beer, ran for about $3 a beer -- too much for their local brew.

Right now is the time and here is the place if you are looking to get married in paridise. You may be lucky enough to take advantage of the offer that Sandals is offering like we did. If you stay there for 5 nights or more your wedding is free. This means your flowers (gorgeous), cake (delicous and beautiful), minister (great), paperwork and licenses, wedding consultant, music (you can select from all different styles), food (nice assortment), champagne, everything is absolutely free. You get to choose from 3 different places to hold it. Two on the beach and one in the garden. We chose the garden because sometimes there can be a lot of people around sunbathing while you get married on the beach. In the garden they close it off so it is private. I could not have asked for a better ceremony. One thing I need to mention is if you don't have anyone to attend (like us) they can provide you with maid of honor and your best man. We were planning on doing this but we luckily met a couple from Canada on a message board that were staying at the same resort and getting married the day before. They ended up being our maid of honor and best man. Here is the link so you can hopefully meet up with someone you like: NegrilToday Close

It is a great place for a wedding. We had friends marry there and the pictures were the best I have ever seen! There was a white gazebo on the beach. If this is something you or someone you know wants to do it is fantastic. Our friends upgraded their room and got a great package included. The resort even set up a tent with tables and chairs. They had a cake and appetizers. It was all-included! Also one night we went to one of the nicest restaurants there and you we got a four-coarse meal with wine and champagne. I think it was on the top 5 of best rehearsal diners ever!Close

Negril is indeed the city of white sandy beaches, gorgeous hotels, and superb restaurants. Lots of top-end resorts are located here. One that deserves special mention is the Rockhouse, where catwalks lead from the villas and rooms to an open-sided , multi level dining pavillion which overlooks the sea. Otherwise just kick-back, relax, and enjoy paradise on earth!Close

Check out the flea market and beach vendors for your souvenirs. There are some awesome wood carvings in the flea markets and along the beach, to buy. Remember to haggle on the prices... they start high but will come down quite a bit. Some are also very persistent for you to buy something, but most are OK with a no thanks if you are not interested. Also, if you are a male you will be approached hundreds of times to buy drugs, but with a quick no thanks they are on their way. You will be amazed at the stuff you are offered here... a little something for every walk of life.Close
