There are tons of fun stuff to do in Jamaica. It all depends on your personal likes and dislikes. Negril has two cool night clubs, The Jungle and Loveboat (lots of fun and cool people). If you ar into the ganga thing be very cautious where you do it because there are sometimes plain-clothes and uniformed police patrols around some areas and they can arrest you. Contrary to lots of uninformed people, ganga (weed, herb, mrijuana...whatever you know it as) is illegal in Jamaica and if you are caught using it you can be imprisoned!

You do not want to irritate or get on the wrong side of a Jamaican policeman. They are cool, you can approach them and chat them up but do not disrespect them. The same goes for the general Jamaican population. It is a misconception to believe that all Jamaicans are ganga smokers or even like the stuff. Many if not most Jamaicans do not like or partake in the ganga activities. I once overheard a Jamaican comment "they cannot smoke ganga in their country what makes them think they can smoke it in Jamaica?". All I'm saying is that if you are adventurous just be discreet with your activities. Most of all be respectful of the Jamaicans and their tropical island, they are really cool people.

I have stayed in Negril and jumped off the cliff at the famous Rick's Cafe into the crystal blue waters (lifeguards present).
I have partied at The Jungle and the Loveboat. I took a sunset cruise along the Negril coast. Ah...a must do is visit Margaritaville..a fun hangout spot. In Negril I stayed at Point Village resort (my favorite Jamaican holiday spot). A very beautiful, tropical beachfront resort with a magnificient sunset. Their pricing is very affordable too.

I stayed at Holiday Inn in Montego Bay and its a resort filled with activities all day. It is nicely located only 15 minutes drive from the MOBAY airport and close to most of the attractions and shopping in MOBAY. There is another Margaritaville nearby there too with lots of fun stuff.

I stayed at FDR Pebbles in Trelawny and that is also agreat resort with lots of fun people and fun stuff. This resort is close to the Martha Brae river where you can enjoy a nice tranquil rafting experience on a guided bamboo raft (appx. $60 US for the trip).
I did the rafting and its a wonderful experience. I also went river-tubing at the Chukka Cove (check out the tour desk at any hotel and you'll get brochures on Chukka and many other attractions).

Dunns river waterfalls is a great experience too. The water is refreshingly cold as you climb the falls (human-chain style...lots of fun). In Ocho Rios you can swim with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove.

I stayed in Kingston with some family friends and we climbed to the top of the Blue Mountains (last month!). We went to the hot springs (mineral bath) in St. Thomas parish and we ate jerk chicken at the famous Boston Jerk in Portland. We went to the Helshire beach and dined at Aunt Mays where you could enjoy some tasty seafood then play on the beach. Port Royal is also nearby and it has an old fort with lots of history!

Go to jamaica and experience for yourself....you'll love it. I've been going there since 2000 every year and ooooooh yeah...I'm going back next year!

If you go have a safe and fun trip! :)

I think Jamaica is awesome. There is a lot to do, so no matter what you like you should be able to find something fun. If you are in Negril you can go to clubs, shop, walk the beach, try different restaurants, and see some Reggae shows.

Some nice places are:
(Any taxi driver will know how to get to these places)
Rick's cafe - a beautiful place built on the cliffs, great food, relaxed atmosphere, nice staff. If you like to party but don't necessarily like clubs this is a great place to go at night. If you want to eat some good food, have some good drinks and enjoy a beautiful view, this is the place.

Xtabi - another great restaurant/bar built on the cliffs. This is a beautiful place, and it was quiter than Rick's when I was there. I like to go to Xtabi during both the afternoon and at night. It's a very nice place to relax, and the food is delicious.

Three C's - a bakery that is always open. They have delicious cakes, outdoor seating so you can chill and watch the cars go by. Tourists and locals both go here and it is a good place to strike up a conversation.

Craft market - great place to shop for souvineers, but be prepared for high-pressure sales tactics. Prices are negotiable and if you don't want it just say NO! and smile. If you want beautiful artwork from local artists ask for Charlie's shop. He has the best prices and has absolutely beautiful paintings and wood carvings.

Jus' Naturals restaurant - delicious food, very good drinks, beautiful outdoor garden seating, very professional and friendly staff. Vegeterian friendly.

Alfred's - a bar on the beach with reggae music. This is a fun place if you like dancing to reggae.

Jamaica is the type of place where you can find something interesting around every corner. You just have to leave the hotel and explore. There are advertisements for reggae shows all around Negril. Just look at the signs and they will tell you when and where the show is, as well as who is playing and the cost of admission. A lot of the locals like to talk to tourists and will answer questions if you are wondering where to go for certain things, or where you can find some music at night.

The Dunn's River Falls is a must. It's a 600' water fall that you can walk up. Also, you can float down that Martha Brae river on a bamboo raft (very fun). I hope you have a BLAST!!!
