“Suddenly your body arrives where your mind has always been.” -Richard Hershman, Rick’s Cafe, Negril Jamaica. What is it about Negril all-inclusive resorts that makes this place so heavenly? Negril was recently discovered. A few years ago, there was nothing here but a lighthouse guiding ships up Jamaica’s rocky west coast, and the population was mostly land crabs (large red crabs, excellent for eating). The only tourist accommodation was a single house (which could be rented) called Llandtrissant, which was built by a Welshman in the early 20th century. The Llandtissant house is still there, but now it has neighbors: luxurious resorts that host thousands of tourists annually. The first newcomers to discover Negril’s charms were the hippie flower children of the early 1970s who naturally gravitated toward the laid-back, laid-back lifestyle. Their influx sparked the development of Negril’s West End on the bluffs beyond the lighthouse. After the hippies came wealthy visitors whose idea of ​​paradise encompassed more than a palm-roofed bohío with a hammock… Luxury hotels sprang up in response. The 1980s brought more expansion as Negil’s fame spread, and the same hippies (now doctors, lawyers, and businessmen) returned to recapture the idylls of their youth for a few weeks each year. The hippie influence in Negril remains in its laid-back, laid-back vibe, the nude beaches at the Caribbean’s most hedonistic singles resorts, and the generally friendly air between visitors and locals, making Negril an ideal place to meet Jamaicans. .

Negril is blessed by nature with two spectacular beaches of sparkling crystal-white sand that stretch for seven miles. Bloody Bay (so called because whales used to be slaughtered here) curves into a horseshoe shape and Long Bay runs straight and true. And nowhere in the Caribbean will you find its equal. Leaving this seven-mile strip of paradise and passing the roundabout in downtown Negril, the road meanders into the West End with its parade of hotels and restaurants clinging to the cliff edge. Here are caves to explore and rocky cliffs where brave souls howl from above into the crystal clear water far below. From Negril Jamaica all-inclusive resorts it’s fairly easy to explore the city of Negril, which after all has only one road that runs along the beach and the beach. Negril’s lighthouse is its most distinctive landmark. It was built in 1894 and originally ran on kerosene. In the roundabout in downtown Negril there are shopping malls, and another in the hotel strip. Nearby are two craft markets that are well worth a visit. The paintings, carvings, sculptures and handmade jewelry of talented Jamaican artists can be viewed and purchased at the Ja-Ja Originals art gallery and studio at Coco La Palm Resort. The nearby Belvedere estate was one of Jamaica’s first sugar cane plantations and is still in operation to this day. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of its waterfalls and rivers, and its exotic birds, plants and ruins. Riders can ride through hilltop coconut and banana trees from Rhodes Hall and finish with a thrilling gallop along the beach.
