Next time, if you want to get deeper into Negril, head to the Red Ground section (any cab will take you there). The Red Dragon serves amazing jerk pork at noonish every day. They sell out every day, so get there early. Red Stripes are $300 J. Just down the road is Collette’s Bar. Collette is the most warm, welcoming person we’ve ever met in Negril…our 19th trip will be this February. Best coffee is from Thunder,a Negril legend. Many restaurants serve it. Glad you enjoyed Negril!
@whitepinewoods9029 thank you so much for all the great advice! We will for sure check those places out! We were away from Negril for too long and seeing the area change but still keep it authenticity makes it such a wonderful place. Maybe we will see you there and we can toast with a Red Stipe! Look for us!
Gord the bar owner is good Man 👍
I throughly enjoyed this video! One Love 👊🏽
Collette 's Bar A big yes. Love that woman ❤❤ Collette you're the best
Wow, thank you soon much. This is EXACTLY what I look for in reviews. You two seem to have the same tastes that my wife and I search for.
The format and the opinions are true gems.
Thanks again, you probably have made our next trip way better. 👍
Thank you!!🙏 ❤️🔥 So very glad you enjoyed this episode and our show! Have a great vacation!
This was the best and most authentic review. Thank you so much for your content, this was very helpful in planning my trip to negril. I look forward to more videos from you.
Thank you so much!! Wow! We love sharing our experiences and helping others have a great time when they travel! So happy we were able to do that! We have a few places we hit over the last few months and we will be shooting new videos soon! Thank you so much for your support that means so much to all of us!
Well, you found one of the best spots (I live there). LTU view is to die for. It's never crowded, and the menu is unbelievable, not to mention the brick oven pizzas.
We loved the place! Must have missed the pizza! Hopefully next time but what we had was still pure fire!
Thanks, friends! My wife and i are heading to Negril end of March from Alberta
Awesome! Is this your first time going there @duncanpage1556?
Glad you loved our country. If I could have recommended one of MY most favourite in West End ..Just one, it would be "Catch A Falling Star". Just one of many. Peace.
We loved your country! We will make sure to check out Catch A Falling Star next time we are in Negril!
@@Uncorkedandontap ... You will love it. Believe me. Peace. And regarding Xtabi ...I love that place. One of the coolest view. I believe it was George the manager behind the Bar that you spoke. Super Person.
Thanks for the tip. Send more of your favorites, please. I'm planning a trip Nov. 2024. My birthday celebration. 🎂 😊
@@DC-ym8km ...You have lots of beautiful places to stay at and to see. On the main street or beach front. Sandy Haven, is a beautiful hotel. Just one of many. Most of the hotels will allow you to visit their restaurant and bar. I believe you will LOVE "Push Chart" and the "Rock House". You can go their for Lunch or dinner. Enjoy.
Ivan's is an amazing restaurant at Catcha! My favorite spot to watch the sunset!
This is an amazing breakdown of Negril and its surroundings... Keep up the great work 👏
Thank you! That really means a lot to us @kingnaldo4058!🙏❤️🙏. We are hoping to bring people good information and keep it fun. Like we are all friends and we are having a drink and talking about places we been and love that we hope you will love too!
Thank you guys,we appreciate you
We love you guys, great job
Thank you!! We really appreciate that!
My first journey to Jamaica was in 1985 , Negril is super nice vibes
Amazing vibes! Negril is one of those places that just keeps calling you back...
Xtabi is one of my favorite places to visit when I go to Jamaica!!!
It’s now one of our favorites too!! ❤️
Stayed at the rockhouse amazing to say the least. Also did the skylark for 7 mile beach. I walked down the beach alittle ways to the singing chef where I got the best lobster & smoked a fatty and soaked it all in. FYI it's not an ocean it's the Caribbean Sea
Nice we will for sure hit the rock house next visit! And also go big blue @realnygiantsmafia !!
Chef Allen, the singing chef. will see him next month. makes superb food!
Hey you guys! I started going to negril in 85 or 86 … I’ve spent about 18 total weeks there and you guys did an amazing job describing the area 👍 can you imagine going to ricks in the afternoon and there’s almost nobody there … that’s when you would’ve loved it … there west end is a great area and I’ll be sure and check out the places you guys went to… I’m subscribed to you now !! Thx and keep going !! 👍😊
Thank you @UnclePG! We appreciate your support. Believe it or not we got to Rick’s around 3:30pm and it was already pretty happening! Two giant tour buses, a line of people outside and the music was thumping. For those that want that vibe they will love the party for everyone else there are so many amazing local choices.
Big up the review was awesome Jamaica land we love one love man.
Thank you! We are so grateful for your kind words! ❤️
Great tour and advice. Thank you from a proud Jamaican 🇯🇲
Thank you! We love Jamaica!
Awwww just love how you respect the locals ❤
Of course! We are grateful that we get the opportunity to spend some time on their beautiful island ❤️
When I saw your title x out rick's cafe and Margarittaville I just had to comment. Hallelujah to this. Add Dunn's river falls to the list. The Island has numerous water falls but continue to market this one as though it is the only one.
We are so happy that you agree!
Going soon I can’t wait I love jamaica.
That's awesome! Jamaica is such a beautiful place. Have a great time!
Very nice details! Thanks for sharing ❤😊
It’s our pleasure! Thank YOU so much for watching our video and channel! 🙏❤️
I was in Jamaica. Last October stayed at hitnism 2 resort. Yes, I went to Rick's cafe first time it was fun.😂😅
If you love to party you would love Ricks! For us the vibe wasn’t right but that doesn’t mean for others it isn’t! Glad you had a great time in Jamaica!
XTABI ! cliffs love
XTABI is sooo good!
Heading that way November as usual, love Jamaica, thanks for the tips!
Awesome! Enjoy! We hope to get back there in a few weeks.
I'm planning my 5 month trip to Negril with my gf, who's been going thete 11 yrs now..I appreciate some extra advice....however, I just need to let you know, it's not the ocean...it's the SEA...😅😅...thank you
Haha you are so right it is the SEA! Sorry sometimes we make dumb mistakes like that! Thanks for watching we really appreciate your support!
Real jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
It's amazing! We love it!
I travel to Negril several times a yr. I agree no Ricks or Margravitaville. I live LtU . Xtabi is a great place to hang or stay. Check out Canoe Bar and Quality Seafood. I love having dinner up the lane at SeaStar . Ride out to Zimbali’s and stay the night .
Thanks for the recommendations @carolynearles7544 we will check those out!!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️
Jamaica to deh world…..yah mon✌️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you! Much love❣
@@Uncorkedandontap
Next time you come here, research a treasure call, Treasure Beach, in the Parish of St. Elizabeth, about an hour away from Negril absolutely local and a delightful….safe travels to you both🙏🏼🇯🇲
Thank you will do!
7 Mile is my favourite beach 😍 And Dragon Stout is my favourite beverage, I highly recommend the Dragon Spit fire it’s a little stronger than the original but tastes a lot smother and sweeter👌🏾
The Dragon Spit Fire sounds amazing! It’s on my list for our return! Appreciate the advice! 🔥🔥🙏
Hi, great content guys 👍 we're thinking of visiting Negril later this year. When did you guys visit for this video?
@mgsmelly we went in late July. Temperature was great but you will see more rain during late July and August. You will love Negril we are stoked to hear you are going!
@@Uncorkedandontap Thanks, that's when we were thinking of going due to school holidays. A two week holiday is our intention. You got some gorgeous sun in your video.
Yes the sun was amazing. We had 2 days of clouds and rain but it was still just beautiful. You will have a great time!
My wife and I were there last month and we hit up Rick's cafe x Tabby. We found a nice cool German restaurant. Call n****** top diner. It was on dumpling lane. It was awesome. We watched the sunset from the coral sea hotel. We stayed at the golden nugget. And right now where you're thinking of planning another trip to go in there soons
Sounds like a great trip! Negril has so much to offer. We are hoping to be back there in May and we are looking to stay at the Rock House!
Glad u didn't listen to the news, u go see for yourself ❤❤❤
@danavanallen8324 only way to know the people it so spend time with them. We are grateful we had that opportunity in such an amazing place! ❤️
best island on the planet :)
We agree!!
Hey, guy great channel, I just found it. And I subscribe. Next time visiting Jamaica, try and head over to the South Coast St Elisabeth to Treasure Beach, a Pelican bar out in the ocean, Jacke's Hotel, and of course my place Beach Rock Villa on a private beach. But overall people are friendly and laid back. One Love ❤️
Thank you @beachrockmoxam2729 for the recommendations! We will definitely check out this places including your place! How awesome!
Next time go to sandy haven resort
Thanks for the suggestion we will check it out! What’s your favorite thing about it?
These places look great. We are going to arrive there in April. How do you pay when you go out to a restaurant or pub?
@davedigger4367 most places take credit cards if they don’t then US dollar works.
@@Uncorkedandontap ok thanks. We will be arriving there in April so I will have to check out these places for sure.
Have fun im Jamaica! Let us know how it went!
Jamaica blue mountain ⛰️ coffe the best on the planet 🌏
It’s one of our all time favorites ❤️
Big up fi LTU 😍😍😍😍expecially with LimonceLLo Dj set at Work🔥🔥🔥👊🏼💋💋
We missed LimonceLLo! Hopefully next time!
I personally wasn't fond of Ricks at all. It's worth a quick look see but, there are SO many other nice places up there that are far nicer. Ricks was so touristy and frankly, I thought it was awful. Over crowded, jam packed with tourists, expensive. It's a pretty view but, nearly every other place up on those cliffs that are super gorgeous. Better drinks at other places too! Grab a dinner at Catcha!
How much is it to rent a chair at skylark.
Great question, unfortunately we didn’t look into the price. We spent so much time walking around and filming we ended up grabbing food and a drink (which were great) and then heading to our next stop. If you want we can try to find that info for you.
@@Uncorkedandontap I tried to find it but couldn’t find it anywhere
I have been looking at a lot of things to do in Jamaica lately. And there are SO MANY tours that include Ricks. That alone tells me it's just a massive, crowded tourist trap. The kind of place I want to avoid.
There are so many great places to go that are the prefect chill Jamaica vibe you will love it!
Hi there, just wondering where you stayed when you were in Negril? We are going in March and indecisive where to stay.
Hi @prosschan! We stayed at The Cliffs, on the west end of Negril. It's a great little boutique hotel, very chill, not on a beach but you do have ocean access via cliff side ladders. Great ocean views, lounges set on the cliffs, and great food. We definitely recommend it! - Jenn
Highly recommend White Sands on 7 Mile Beach.
Been several times, feel free to message with any questions.
Charela Inn, on the beach, highly recommend.
Travellers on the beach is fabulous! Great value and spectacular service. I stayed there last November.
Shhhhhhh! Stop telling everybody bout the real good spots. Just kidding. My two favorite places. First time I entered both I immediately thought PARADISE! Negril is such a chill place
I know!! Don’t want to give away all the good places but these folks are so great they deserve the business and the love!
That dragon bitter
Wow
The Dragon is strong and mighty! 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to hate that Dragon 🐉
But I love the games of Throne LOl
In Jamaica, they would say that A big man drink
@@roxy44bb3 well I will take it as a compliment! 😁
If u had gone to the Blue Lagoon area in Portland, u would spend less time speaking of Negril. Thanks for "bigging up" our "island yard".
LTU is very good
pushcart and rockhouse is owned by an austrailian group btw
Good to know! Still really great place and we will stay a few nights at the rock house soon!
🎉
Not crime but traffic what'll get ya killed on West End road 😅
That’s the scariest part! 😂😂
Next time you go to negril, stay at NIRVANA on the beach.
Thanks for the recommendation @pg8393! We will check it out!
If you want a cab and you will get cars pull up and ask you if you want a ride make sure they have a red number plate these are proper taxi cabs green plates are if your vechile is used for any kind of business and white plates are cars registered to general peoples cars
Thank you! That’s great advice! 🙏❤️
That's true, red plate is registered taxi, but you did the right thing asking hotel or bar to call for you. It's more expensive, but safer than taking random taxi that stop to pick up other passengers. The only thing I would say to add to your advice is to determine the price with the driver ahead of time. This avoids misunderstandings.
@@waitaminute2015 all good advice! Thank you!
Right the music is great, but the food is ordinary…
Unfortunately it has become more of a tourist party trap. :(
i cant stand margaritaville or Ricks ...for the same reasons . bleh .
Rick’s is overrated, I agree…
Ricks Cafe mega bar sucks. Tourist trap number 1. Just tourists with Tourists paying top dollar doe drinks
100% agree!
