Getting to pick out a lobster and enjoy it with a red stripe was one of the highlights of our entire trip. While we spent the rest of our vacation at our resort, we believe seeing the small towns along the coast and seeing all the local sights and sounds of Negril was the best part of our trip. Thanks again, Fun Trips Jamaica…”
