Oniel’s House On my 2006 Sumfest trip I was all over the place. A few days in Ocho Rios, then Montego Bay, and I had considered hitting Negril for a few days too. As luck would have it I accidentally ran into a guy in Mobay that I knew from YEARS ago in Negril. As it turned out he and his cousin now owned a house up the hill in Negril and had a spare bedroom that he could rent to me for a few nights. Sold! He picked me up the next morning at my hotel in Mobay and off we went. Verandah...
Lazy Dayz – Negril, Jamaica I stayed at Lazy Dayz in Negril in 2004, on my third trip to Jamaica. This was the trip I brought my son on when he was 11 years old. The fun of that trip is posted here. And since this trip was 5 years ago, my info might not be totally current. You should see their website for the most current rates, etc. There are several different types of cabins at Lazy Dayz in Negril, and I chose to rent the two smallest ones, one for myself and one for my son. The two...
Mama’s House I “actually” met my second Mama on my birthday in 2006. I “cyber-met” her long before that on a Jamaican travel forum. When we started chatting about 5 years ago she didn’t yet live in Jamaica, but finally she made her move and the timing was perfect for me to visit her. I flew into Jamaica on my birthday in 2006 and Mama met me at the airport for the first time! It was hilarious to finally meet her and seemed like we’d known each other...
West End – Negril Cliffs In the west end of Negril, somewhere between Rick’s Cafe and the lighthouse I found some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in Jamaica. It was quite by accident and at the time, a total Godsend that we found Sir D’s on the side of the road. I was on my 6th trip and brought along a friend of mine, Debbie, who’d never been to Jamaica. We were staying in Montego Bay for Sumfest, but in an effort to show Debbie a little more of the island, we...
Negril Cliff Diving If you’ve ever known anyone who’s gone to Jamaica, particularly Negril, then you’ve no doubt heard of Ricks Cafe. It’s a world famous attraction and is visited by hundreds of tourists every day. Even I’ll admit on one of my 7-day trips I went to Ricks five of those days. (Okay yes, my son had a lot to do with that!) Ricks Cafe is located on West End Road in the cliffs of Negril, and its claim to fame is the cliff diving in the daytime, spectacular...
It’s Saturday, a lazy day. So lucky you, I only felt like posting pictures. I adore these sunset shots taken in December 2008. There is nothing in the world like testing the night settings on your camera and ending up with pictures like this! Negril, Jamaica is infamous for its spectacular sunsets. Out of anywhere else on the island, this would be the place to bring your tripod and settle in at sundown. Negril 7 Mile Beach Sunset picture West End Negril Sunset Picture ...
