Hotel at a Glance: Whistling Bird Resort

It's easy to forget about the rest of the world from Whistling Bird Resort's spot on Seven-Mile Beach. From each of the resort's palm-shaded cottages, paths to the waterfront are lined with hibiscus flowers, birds of paradise, and towering tropical ferns that evoke the feeling of walking through an isolated rainforest. And at the white-sand beach itself, an oceanside tiki bar provides isolation from the bustle of public beaches.

• Choice of perks: Some options come with the packaged meal plan.
• Packaged Meal Plan: include breakfast and dinner.
• Private cottages blend tropical island architecture with modern amenities; think thatched roofs and walk-in showers.

• Direct beach access: From this hotel’s doors, it’s only a short trek to the public beach.
• Room with a view: From your hotel’s window or balcony, you’ll be able to see ocean views.

Negril, Jamaica: Laid-Back Beach Town with Picturesque Sunsets, Snorkeling, and Cliff Diving

Located on Jamaica’s western coast, Negril is known for its white-sand beaches, dramatic rugged cliffs, and coral reefs lying just offshore in the Caribbean. Its underwater beauty makes the town a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkeling at Negril Marine Park, and anglers have found the sea filled with blue marlin, wahoo, and mahi-mahi. The city has a front-row seat to some of the world’s most beautiful sunsets, and people often climb to the top of waterfront cliffs just to watch. At Rick’s Cafe, which is listed in the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, groups congregate every night to watch the sun dip below the horizon; some brave adventurers even leap off the 35-foot cliffs into the water.

Often called "the capital of casual," Negril is best defined by its laid-back vibe, from the slow and steady rhythm of the indigenous reggae music to its unofficial uniform—swimsuits and flip-flops. Running along the town is Seven Mile Beach, a stretch of powdery, white-sand coastline that earned a spot on Frommer’s Best Beaches in the Caribbean list. The town center comprises a shopping mall and a craft market where visitors can pick up locally produced goods.
