I am planning a trip back to Jamaica for the same week as the Bob Marley bash. I've never been that week but I've arrived a few weeks after and heard many good things. I stay about 20 minutes outside of Negril at a place called the Lost Beach Resort. There are also many neighborhood parties in the community which is where I always have the most fun. Little Bay usually has some unbelievable bashes, KIKI!

Check out www.negril.com and look at the message boards, there is alot of info about what's going on in Negril during that week. I'm sure the rest of the island has it's own events going on. Trip advisor forums have alot of good info.

Hello everyone,

We've just booked a 3 week holiday to Jamaica to arrive on 7th Feb, only to realise that Bob Marley's birthday is the 6th and there will be a lot of parties! We're wondering about changing out flights to come a few days earlier which will obviously cost us. Would definitely do it if it was just two of us travelling but we've got two little girls too (age 3 and 1 year) and wondering whether it's worth it. Any thoughts on partying in the daytime with kids for Bob's birthday and where would be a good place to be? We're flying into and out of Kingston and have not yet planned where we're going.

Cheers,
Janet

It is not really worth it to change your tickets, especially travelling with such small children.
Also, why are you flying into Kingston, instead of Montego Bay ?
ONE LOVE !!
Mike

Thanks for the reply Mike. Glad you said that because we've almost decided not to change flights, partcularly since we've realised we'll be there for Fi Wi Singting which looks great. Have you been? We're flying into Kingston cos it was cheaper and also because we definitely want to stop there for a couple of nights, probably on our way home. I missed it last time I was in Jamaica. Cheers, Janet.

thank you to everyone..
can someone suggest me some places where I can go during this week?
(some particular bar o typicals places of Jamaica)..
I would like to visit everything is possible!!
relax is not I want to do in my holidays!!!
Thanks =)

If you want to visit a very unusual bar, then go to the towns of Black River are Treasure Beach and go to "Floyd's Pelican Bar". It is a better trip from Frenchmen Beach (Treasure Beach), and it is better to combine it with a trip up the Black River. If you do it this way, be sure to plan to have lunch at the bar.
Other very nice spots to visit is Y.S. Falls, Mayfield Falls, Bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae River, Bamboo rafting on the Rio Grande River, Reach Falls, Blue Mountains, Rose Hall Graet House, Dunns River Falls, Negril Beach, Bob Marley birthplace/gravesite in Nine Miles, and Rockland Bird Santurary.
ONE LOVE !!

you are very expert insn't you mike?
can you suggest me some hotel or b&b where I can stay?
I'm not sure I'll want to stay in the same all the week..
Really I'm trying to visit all I can of Jamaica in one week!
A little bit of everything...
cuold you help me??

First it is not good to try to see alot of Jamaica in one week !!!!
Things move slow there, and it would be best to base yourself in one place and do day trips from there. If you want to see and do as much as possible in one week, then it is best to base yourself in MoBay. It not the best place to for "chilling out" and it does not have good beaches, but it is centrally locates on the North Coast so you are able to see and do more from there by doing day trips from there.
If you want to just relax and chill and only see a couple of places, then it would be best to base yourself in Negril are Treasure Beach.
One BIG question is, how do you plan to get around ? Will you be using a "private taxi" are "public transport". Using a "private taxi" will allow to do and see more, and it the safest and more fun way to go, but it is also the most expensive. "Pubic transport" is really cheap, but it will require alot more time and patience to get around. I also do not suggest using it after dark because of the safety factor.

did you go to jamaica??
what do you think is the best tour in the period of bob's birthday?

I have been going to Jamaica for many years.
The best tour depends on where you are staying, and how much time you have.

The only restaurant/bars I've been to kingston are Red bones and Gloria's in Port royal, and Juice Patti.

Red Bones is cool but pricey, Gloria's is great but not really in Kingston, and Juici Patti...well it's fast food :)
