Words fail me when I try to describe the good time I had on my birthday at CocoLaPalm, wow comes to mind. The staff was incredible, the room was perfect, the food was delish, and don't get me started about the 2 for 1 happy hour and dirty bananas...woo hoo. Negril never dissapoints, but this time was even better than the last 7 times. Can't wait to go back again and again.

Coco LaPalm is a wonderful non-all-inlcusive hotel about 2 miles from downtown Negril. The grounds are immaculately kept and very attractive. The service the hotel provides is excellent, the room is neat and functional, and the proximity to the beach can't be beat. The hotel provides entertainment 2 nights a week and there is a free buffet/bar Monday night. Beach chairs are plentiful and towels are readily available. We ate dinner the first night at the hotel and would recommend it only to people who want to eat non-Jamaican. We only had the continental breakfast (free), so I can't vouch for the Jamaican breakfast ($9), but I can tell you that there are excellent restaurants within walking distance where you can get authentic breakfast food for $2-5 and dinner for around $10. Drinks are overpriced, but if that's a concern walk down the beach to another hotel bar and get your buzz-on cheaper. Happy hour (2 for 1) Tues-Sun 5-7pm. If you need JA$ and phone service Cambio and Digicell are located right by the roundabout downtown, and it's a short walk from there to the Hi-Lo supermarket on the road to the West End. Local cabs will drive you downtown for $100JA, walk out to the street and flag a cab there. You can book bus trips or water excursions at the front desk, but they will add a 10% service charge for outside vendors. I highly recommend Coco LaPalm. People, please just don't book it too much, so we don't have a problem making a reservation the next time we go to Jamaica.

We traveled with our one year old for a second time this year to Negril. Negril has a great beach. Calm and warm, white sand. Coco has one of the best beach fronts on the stretch-- wide, lots of shade if you want it. Maids are great and freindly. Security guards too, Beach boys not all so helpful-- Steve is great. Rooms vary. First time we had a great room (honeymoon suite). this time, we had a superior room, and it was large enough and nice with kitchnette, but the matress was HORRIBLE-- soft and worn out. When we're in the room, we're usually on the matress, so this is a big minus to my mind. (Coco-- please replace shot matresses), Restaurant is fine-- breakfast (included) is awesome. Sunrise Special is my favorite. Pool was nice. We'd stay at Coco again. Some tips: there are wildfires in the Great Morass (at least there were in May) some days were smokey. Coco's neighbor is supposed to be going through some renovations until October-- may be loud.
