We have only been to GL Negril but if you are looking for nightlife, you might want to look else wheres. It is a top rated resort but alot quieter and more laid back then other Jamaica resorts. San Souci, from my understanding is even quieter. GLn Braco, however is more lively. Negril is known for its beaches, which are beautiful but you might want to look into GL Braco for more action.

I have seen Braco, and it was my favorite of the three Lido's. (I was on a travel agent FAM trip, where we inspected 15 hotels) Negril did have the best beach, we spent 2 nights at Beaches Negril and one of the best beaches I have ever seen. A few months ago we stayed at Breezes Runaway Bay, which is not that far from Braco, and the Beach was not quite as good, but we still enjoyed it. If you are looking for upscale and inclusive, and want to go with a Lido, I would recommend Braco.

Ritz Carton hands down!!! They also offer a meal plan now. It is not an all-inclusive if this is what you want. Try lebeachclub.com...select master list for a list of all-inclusives in Jamaica & other places-raed their definition of all-inclusive first. <BR><BR>Skip the Wyndham unless you love kids; it is a great place for families especially the water park. <BR><BR>Half Moon Bay looked nice (I think it is all-inclusive), but was too big for my taste. You need a shuttle to get anywhere at this resort. The food was okay, but a lot of their restaurants are for outside eating with fans, no A/C. I tried it, but it was too hot in june for me to eat outside. <BR><BR>Take bug repellant for evening.

At the luxe level of Grand Lido's, with a lot less marble and a lot more real Jamaican style, see Chris Blackwell's/Island Outpost is the Web site STRAWBERRY HILL with Aveda spa and superb food/privacy, in Irish Town in the foothills of the Blue Mts;GOLDENEYE at Orcabessa and THE CAVES in Negril; on a more international standard, the classic ROUND HILL (rent a villa there,tho) outside MoBay and JAMAICA INN in Ocho Rios as well as the new Ritz outside MoBay are all superlative choices more than a few notches up the scale than Lidos...
