14 Easy Weekend Getaways 05

Negril, Jamaica

EASY GETAWAY FROM Atlanta; Baltimore; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; New York; Orlando; Miami.

WHAT YOU GET Easy snorkeling, live music, cliff diving and general laid-back island vibes.

WHY NOW Even though it is peak season, it’s not hard to find an affordable hotel here, with choices ranging from all-inclusive mega-resorts to quiet boutique hotels perched on cliffs. Plenty of nonstop flights from the East Coast make this island easy to get to.

WHERE TO STAY The Rockhouse Hotel (rockhousehotel.com), perched atop a craggy outcropping with ladders and stairs leading down to the water, has standard rooms from $160 a night. The Samsara Hotel and Spa (negrilhotels.com), has an all-inclusive option from $90 a person based on two people sharing an air-conditioned ocean-view room. On Negril’s Seven-Mile Beach, the all-inclusive Grand Pineapple Beach Negril (grandpineapple.com) offers rooms in colorful cottages from $284 a person a night; $75 a child 2 to 16.
