Need your help, we are going on a trip to Jamaica!?

Question

Just wondering if anyone that has been to Jamaica could give us some points on which area to get our hotel in? I heard Negril is really nice but then someone says its very croweded. I heard that Ocho Rios is nice but then someone said that it is very windy on the beach on that side of the coast!

Help!! My husband and I have never been and would love to go but we need some suggestions.

Answer 1

Select a hotel on one of Negril's quiet beaches. I've stayed at the Charela Inn.  It's a small boutique hotel with it's own palm covered beach and a great little restaurant and bar.

The beach is beautiful, and far from the crowded beaches, yet the Inn is centrally located to everything.  They have a driver who will take you anywhere for Negril's nightlife, the Cliffs, or a day trip for rafting in the mountains.

Answer 2

I was there in Jan. for 8 days went all around the island, I loved negril but it is more expensive 7 mile beach is beautiful. Montego Bay is very touristy Runaway Bay is quieter as is Discovery bay. Ocho Rios is very nice and a lot of thing to do along the north coast as far as tourist attractions.  really cant go wrong any part of the island visit the blue mountains they are very scenic. and get into the historyof the people you will be surprised!

Answer 3

I have been to Ocho Rios twice. It is very nice. The first time I went on a Cruise and went directly to Ocho Rios. The second time I went by Air into Montego Bay. I had a problem here, because the trip by Bus over the mountains to get to Ocho Rios took  three hours.
