    Next time, if you want to get deeper into Negril, head to the Red Ground section (any cab will take you there). The Red Dragon serves amazing jerk pork at noonish every day. They sell out every day, so get there early. Red Stripes are $300 J. Just down the road is Collette’s Bar. Collette is the most warm, welcoming person we’ve ever met in Negril…our 19th trip will be this February. Best coffee is from Thunder,a Negril legend. Many restaurants serve it. Glad you enjoyed Negril!

      @whitepinewoods9029 thank you so much for all the great advice! We will for sure check those places out! We were away from Negril for too long and seeing the area change but still keep it authenticity makes it such a wonderful place. Maybe we will see you there and we can toast with a Red Stipe! Look for us!

      That's true, red plate is registered taxi, but you did the right thing asking hotel or bar to call for you. It's more expensive, but safer than taking random taxi that stop to pick up other passengers. The only thing I would say to add to your advice is to determine the price with the driver ahead of time. This avoids misunderstandings.
