Frommer's take on getting around Negril: You can also rent a scooter or pedal bicycle from local shops there. The scooter is recommended over the bicycle, just because you are more visible to cars and can go faster to keep up with traffic.

Frommer's take on money in Jamaica: All the major resorts and first-class restaurants quote prices in U.S. dollars, so many visitors can go through their entire trip without the bother of converting their currency into Jamaican dollars.

There are plenty of options on where to stay in Negril. We are staying at the Riu Negril. There is a 10% discount and free transportation if you sign up to be a "Riu Class" member before you make the reservation. There are lots of all inclusive hotels as well as budget options. Lots of affordable airbnb places as well. The wedding activities will be near the south, on the "west end" near the cliffs and no beach.
