We Start our trip by jumping on a plane, and
taking off to fly out to Montego Bay
But that isn’t out final destination, we
will be staying near Negril, which is about
90 minutes south west of Montego Bay.
We got a driver to drive us along the coastal
road and through the towns to get us to Negril
Before we made it to Negril, our Driver stopping
in Green Island, which is a small town about
an hour west of Montego Bay, for lunch at
the Bigger Beach Roadside Restaurant.
Which is a jerk stand own and operated by
Mr. Biggs, who was kind enough to let me stand
behind his grill and let me take a look at
his setup
His stand is known for providing an Authentic
Jerk Chicken, with a home-made jerk sauce
that is extra hot
Local Cats rush over to the stand when customers
arrive for the chance to collect food scraps
After lunch, we head through the final leg
of our ride, and make it through Negril, to
our AirBnB, Somewhere West.
Alright, this is going to be home for the
next few days
Alright,
This is where we stay, it’s called Somewhere West
Alright and we have, the AfterGlow room
Alright, so when you go through, this is our room and it is amazing
This is going to be home for the next 5 days and it is insane
Have this little fence here, I’m going through…
This is the bar / restaurant
And guys, you got to be kidding me
We’re here!
We’re here.
And what sets it apart are some of the touches
and amenities at the property, from the tile-work,
seashell room dividers, bright tropical colors,
to the friendly dogs on the property,
High, look at those beautiful eyes, you’re
cute, you’re adorable!
the little touches across the property really
help it shine
But the best part of the property by far,
is its cliff-side location, and beautiful
saltwater pool looking over the Caribbean
Sea
And since the property is right on the sea, you
can jump right in for a swim
Across the Negril Cliff-side, there are a
number of restaurants, bars, and resorts.
The 1st one we stopped at was the “Kool
Vibes Jerk Centre”
They start cooking the chicken at around 11:30am
and have Jerk Chicken ready to eat 30 to 60 minutes later.
And it doesn’t disappoint, especially if
you crave a charred smokey flavor.
The next thing that we did was take the “One
Love” Bus Tour to the bars and restaurants
along the Negril cliff-side
This tour will take you to up-scaled bars
“Doc’s Place”, perfect to relax and
enjoy a drink with a view…
To off the beaten path local joints like “History
Bar”
We even got to tour and art gallery that doubled
as a bar, known for their strong “Rum Punch”
At Bella Donna, in addition to Pizza, Drinks,
Dogs and Parrots, the owner gave us a special
performance herself
The spot with the best views on the tour was
“the Caves” resort, which had great cliff-side
views along every turn, and caverns within
the cliffs that were walk-able and provided
a perfect view of the sunset.
The final location on the tour was “Pelican
Lookout” which had a cool “beach party”
environment, and a fantastic chef preparing
fresh meals.
It turns out this spot was only a few minutes
walk from our AirBnb,
and became a favorite spots
On out last full day we spent the day at 7-mile
beach,
a beautiful clear water beach with shops, restaurants and vendors
Here you can see a vendor preparing a fresh coconut for us.
For our final night, we spent the evening
watching the sun set alone,
well, almost alone,
one of the friendly property dogs decided
to join us.
Our final dinner was also on the property’s
restaurant “Norine’s Kitchen”
where we had tropical Chicken tacos cooked by the
property’s owner.
On the day that we left, we visited Pelican
Lookout one last time for some fresh tropical wings
and then took the ride back to the
airport to fly home.
