Samsara Hotel

Hey guys, my boyfriend and I booked a flight to Montego Bay, but want to stay in Negril. We're not sure where we want to stay. We're not on the budget, but we do not want all-inclusive hotel given that we expect to leave the resort to explore other areas. We are looking for a 2-3 star hotel preferably quiet, close to the beach, the Rick's Cafe, Margaritasville, and the places where we can go clubbing. I watched some as: Rondel, Samsara, and White Sands, they are ideal? I already looked on Tripadvisor.com, but still uncertain. Please suggest ideas ... (Leaving only helpful answers please, I am aware that Jamaica can be a dangerous place like any other place on this planet.)

RIU is too far from the action on the beach .. You would need a taxi, too often, and there is no way to stay without AI ..
Anyway as for the places you mentioned .. They are all decent places. White Sands is very basic, but really the best area of beach. It is within easy walking distance of nightlife, but far enough so that you do not really hear .. Surrounded by great places to eat and drink, and every day 2 for 1 specials. The rooms are decent, nothing special at all, but for me the price is right, and they are clean.

Sam Sara is nice because they are upgrading it and you get the free shuttle to Legends, which is on the beach. As the cliffs are very cold, calm .. Nice for bonding time with your honey during the day and a short taxi ride to night clubs.

Rondel is also nice, decent beach and near the nightlife .. Rooms very nice and clean. It is the nearest station from the list, the nightlife.
All stations listed have a pool, Sam and Sara Rondel also hot tubs, Sam Sara now has a spa ..

Everything is relatively close to Negril. It's good if you do not mind walking.

Much information on nightlife, restaurants, etc..
Enjoy!

Stay .... Riu and do not get the plan included because you want to eat off the resort and not be limited by your hotels for food. Do not however get the plan to drink if your hotel offers it and you want to drink. Do not stay Samasara or legends, they are sister properties (Legends-cliff-beach Samasara), unless you like very basic and not very modern comforts. Negril is absolutely beautiful and you have a wonderful time. It is romantic and Jamaica has a very relaxed .. "No worries" attitude that you adapt very quickly. Make sure you do change your money at the airport, but do it at the cambios in town and not be forced to buy useless junk you do not want. Be firm and politely say ... No thank you! and if you really want to get your Randy Guy for the night, give Viagra "in Ricks, you will not be disappointed. Also .... Make sure to eat at Sweet Spice "is the best food in Negril far. Have fun and take it with you, it will help you make conversions in dollars instead of trying to understand in your head.
