Negril Jamaica Vacation On A Budget

Ah yes…..Negril Jamaica. Prestine white sands, water so calm it feels like a pool, free spirited inhabitants lots of bars and great Jamaican food. That sums up Negril Jamaica. No doubt the biggest attraction in Negril is its seven mile white sand beach. Second would be its vibe which is not only suitable for the wild party bunch but also for those looking for some quiet relaxation time. One only needs to plan their trip properly to land in the fab town of Negril at the right time. If you are into parties then you travel around spring break or early August (crazy summer party weekends). If you want to relax in peace and quite then don’t travel on those dates . But really Negril is not a fully developed town but more like a small village all about the weary traveller. So you will find plenty of relaxation without the city hustle and bustle.

Now like I said Negril’s attraction is more about the beach and vibe than luxury. Don’t get me wrong you do have very luxurious Negril resorts but for someone on a budget you dont need a five star resort to enjoy a five star Negril Vacation. Instead of doling out hundreds for that lavish penthouse room at that hot new Negril resort choose to stay at a smaller boutique hotel or rustic villa on the cliffs. There are many many many small hotels and villas along the seven mile stretch. Now when it comes to small negril hotels it is absolutely critical that you read reviews on various travel sites to get the real deal on what to expect.

Another key tip is to book your Jamaica flight and hotels early…book now!! This very important advice is usually overlooked but can save you a bundle. Hotels normally have a year round price plan so some may think an early booking may not save you much but the fact is if you book late you may end up at a pricier hotel or with a pricier hotel room. So with your small negril hotel or villa booked all you need to do is have fun! There are lots of activities you can do that won’t cost you lots of money. The beach will be most likely 10 steps away from the hotel so you can splash around 24 hours a day. Additionally there are other local attractions like cliff diving and sunset at Rick’s Cafe, Negril Kool Runnings Water Park, bar vibes at Risky Business and lots more. 

When it comes to food there will most likely be a restaurant on the property but since it won’t be all inclusive like those other Negril resorts food is not included with the room. The good thing is you have a chance to explore other restaurants in the town or at other hotels. All you need to do is walk along the beach and look at the various menus. Another great way to enjoy Negril Jamaica is to hire a tour guide. This can be a very cost effective way of tailoring the right vacation for you. By explaining your likes, dislikes and level of adventure you would be able to get the biggest bang for your buck. Again read the reviews and get inside info. Till next time walk good …Irie .
