NEGRIL, JAMAICA - Mon we Irie all day


After our 7 day cruise to Cuba, we docked in Montego Bay.  Since it was a Friday we decided to spend the weekend in Negril, Jamaica.

Negril has been home to us for over 10 years, however, we stopped going after the hurricane wiped away a lot of the restaurants, shops and left the beach not as pristine as before.  This time we took a chance and found a great little hotel called "Sea Splash."  

I had no idea what to expect in Negril nor what would await us at Sea Splash. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!  The beach was back!.  The hotel was a small little place almost hidden from the main road and when we walked into our room it was beautiful!!  The room was so clean and the all white bedding and curtains made it inviting.  

We immediately put our bags down and headed for the 21 mile beach.  We walked up and down, splashed in the water and listened to the rhythm of reggae music coming out of every restaurant.  Ah!  The flavor and atmosphere of Negril, Jamaica.

We snorkeled, we ate authentic caribbean food at Sweet Spice for dinner and went to see a reggae band. At night the smell of ganja is everywhere.   I got a contact high at the concert and had to leave early.  lol.  

The next day we had Akee, Codfish, Dumplings and Calaloo for breakfast.  If you don't know what this is, you ought to ask somebody.  

We only had two days in Jamaica, and that was not nearly enough.  I have got to go back soon.  

Irie
