Advantages: Better beach than Ochos Rios Disadvantages: hotels either side of you
...definitely recommend the flight - far better than the bus journey. In fact, if you were put off by my description of the bus journey Couples will arrange flight transfers at an extra charge at either end of your holiday, but although the aerial views of the country are spectacular you will miss out on seeing at close range the country which you are visiting.
Our flight stopped off at Montego Bay en route where we changed aircraft and then it flew on again to Negril. At Negril we were met by the hoards of taxi drivers trying to give us lifts and drug dealers tempting us with their wares (NB it is illegal to possess cannabis in Jamaica so don't get caught if you are tempted) but we knew that Couples would be providing a bus.

Advantages: Everything - its an amazing place! Disadvantages: None that we encountered, although we heard it wasn't safe to venture out into Negril on your own.

There's lots of activities to do (gym, tennis, horse riding, watersports, etc), or you can just be lazy! There's entertainment on every night, but you're not forced into joining in - the beach party was a good laugh, though! Some trips are included - a sunset catamaran cruise, trip to the Pickled Parrot for cliff jumping - and others. We paid to do a trip down the Black River to see crocodiles, which was amazing. We also got a visit to the YS Falls included in that trip, which was pretty spectacular (though not as spectacular as Dunns River Falls, which we went to from Couples Ocho Rios - you can pay to visit it from Couples Negril, but its free from Ocho Rios).
All in all we had a fantastic time at Couples Negril and didn't want to leave to go to Ocho Rios. But it was an experience to fly in a 6-seater plane - just us...
