I've been to both. I don't ever want to go back to Ocho Rios. The resort that I stayed at was pretty good and the food was awesome but the beaches in Negril are 1000% better. The sunsets are the best there too especially from Rick's Cafe. Its on a rock outcrop with a small cliff diving spot. Just watch out if you stay late and have to park far away - don't be surprised if someone will want to collect a fee for watching out for your car. This is a problem throughout. Ocho Rios is not a town for walking around either. The main tourist shopping area is surrounded by barbed wire if that gives you an idea. Negril is not as nearly as bad. Take a Juta bus to either place or even a cab. They're both long trips from the Montego Bay airport though but pretty drives. The only thing that I didn't like in Negril is that if you're not on a resort with a guarded beach then the locals will drive you nuts all day trying to sell you either ganja or cornrow weaves but don't take a pass on the fresh pineapples.

Trip Advisor is an excellent source as long as you find and click the correct link, I know it can be annoying at time....!
I'm getting married in Jamaica 2008, and the best hotels that have been advised to me, and by looking on trip advisor are:
Rose Hall Country Club - Montego Bay
Sunset Grande Resort - Ocho Rios.
I haven't had any one recommend Negril, but I doubt you can go wrong with Jamaica in general. It would also depend if you have children, or did you want a couples only resort..?!
The Palms resort looks great....! I will have to look at the one for myself now! lol

Depends what youre looking for, Negril has best beaches but Ocho Rios is alot busier, too busy for me, we went to Royal Decameron in Runaway Bay lovely friendly holiday but only 3 star, Gran Bahia looks as though its going to be great but only just opened so still a few teething problems

Negril is beautiful, very quiet but so picturesque.
