Go to Negril.com and you can get information about all the places in town.
You first need to decide if you want to stay on the beach or on the cliffs.
Each has its advantages. Generally speaking, the beach is much more busy
and more recently built up and the cliffs is an older and more private
section. If you like snorkeling, the cliffs is the way to go, if you like
nightlife, the beach. In reality it's only a 100 to 200 J taxi ride to one
place from the other. A good and reasonably priced place on the beach is
the Bar-B-Barn and they have one of the very best restaurants in Negril
Beachcomber Club is really nice as well and also well located (you don't
want to be too far out of town on the beach). Also try hanging out at
Selina's Coffeebar for some real Jamaica vibe, the best Blue Mt. coffee and
great food. Be sure you check out a trip to Benji's Paradise for a Real
Jamaica Experience!

Definitely go to Negril over Mobay or Ochi... if you want to consider other
parts of Jamaica I'd look at Orocabessa, Port Antonio or Treasure Beach
(which is close to Negril and like Negril was 25 years ago but it got nailed
by the hurricane this past fall.

I hope someone can offer suggestions as to where to stay in Negril. My
girlfriend and I are around 30 years old and have a week's vacation in
early February. We know MoBay well and have consdered Ocho Rios, but I
always wanted to stay in Negril. There are no specials available right
now, but would it be a good idea to just take air only (from Canada)
and find somewhere (not too expensive) when we arrived? I know there
are lots of small hotels that don't advertise, and we want to be right
on the beach. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!
