Negril
Negril offers Spring
Breakers an unspoiled 7 mile stretch of white sand beaches crowned
by the low lying cliffs of the West End. In the quest of an endless
summer and awesome sunsets, this once sleepy little fishing village
was discovered by hippies during the 60's. Today, tour
operators offer attractive travel packages to this SpringBreak
dream destination. Negril
is a clothing optional beach dotted with small beachfront
hotels, thatched roof bars and restaurants overlooking the water.
In order to keep that
unspoiled island feeling, the local zoning laws limit the height
of new buildings to treetop level. Today, there some 20-30 small
hotels and/or luxury properties that offer beachside lodging.
The most desirable places to stay are the small cliff-side inns
or the larger beachfront hotels that have the most amenities.
However, you may find that it is a good idea to take a good look
at your hotel before booking. You will find a
good map and pictures of the hotels available on the Student
Travel Services website. There are also several private villas
that you can rent by the week if money is no problem.
Once you have arrived
at your hotel, you can relax on the beach, or go on an island
adventure climbing one of the many waterfalls or jumping from
the 45 foot cliffs at the Pickled Parrot. Water sports activities
abound. If you are into sailing, you can go windsurfing, Sunfish
sailing, or take a daylong sailing trip to Bloody Bay where you'll
enjoy basking in the sun, snorkeling, and partying on your own
private beach! Ocean Kayaking and Jungle River Rafting worth exploring!

As the day come to
an end, celebrate the famous Negril sunset with a rum punch and
get ready to party. Or if you want to make it an evening event
go for a Sunset Cruise along Negril's scenic cliffs for a phenomena
view of the setting sun.
After the sun sets,
it is time to party as Negril's beaches and cliffs come alive
with the sounds of reggae music. If you want to avoid the lines
and save on cover fees, make sure that you get a VIP
party wristband and voucher from one of the tour operators.
On Monday night, Hotel Sam Sara's concerts feature the likes of
Ziggy Marley, Beannie Man, Shaggy and more! Theme parties at Legends
Beach Bar, Coral Seas Beach and Margaritaville's
light up the beach. It is crackling bonfires and pulsating rhythm
of reggae music that creates that special Jamaican feeling. This
is why people come back to Negril again and again.
