Tips for Staying st Beaches Jamaica Negril

• Tipping goes a long way for great service which can make your vacation much more pleasant – USD are the best for tipping.

• It's worth it to get a $20 guide for YS Falls  (7 tiers of cascading waterfalls southwest of Montego Bay) – many say YS falls are even better than the famous Dunn’s River Falls.

• Be prepared for “Jamaica time” and expect things to take a little longer than at home!

• Be sure to catch a sunset on the beach – it’s spectacular!

• The dive shop can be overly cautious so be sure to bring your certification and log book to show them you know what you’re doing. The longer more experienced dive is at 9 am.

• Your luggage may take an hour or so to get to your room so you may want to carry a small bag with your essentials in it.

• Ask for premium alcohol by name if you want it, otherwise you’ll get bottom shelf.

• Don’t miss the beach barbeque on Thursday nights.

• Get your pool chair by 9 or 9:30 to ensure you get one (there are plenty of beach chairs).

• Be careful of the jellyfish– there is a nurse available to apply vinegar to stings.

• The spa is a bit pricey but worth it.

• Pack mosquito repellent.
