I have to say that after all the hype, this turned out to be a huge let down. The smell of pot from the minute you get off the tour bus is so overwhelming my eyes watered, it's grungy, and how many times can you watch some drunk tourist jump off a cliff on a dare? If getting drunk and... More

Great view and the people watching is also really good. But don't bother eating there. The servers are RUDE and the food is mediocre. The prices are also really high. A very Spring break type experience. But the cliff jumpers are amusing, and the cliff area is really pretty. More

Our driver took us to Rick's Cafe as it is one of those places that everyone seems to go. I went there to jump off the cliff. I really enjoyed making the jumps but I didnt purchase any food or drinks. Stop in for 30 mins to an hour jump in the water at the height your comfortable with and... More

Went to Rick's while in Negril and was glad we made the trip. It was busy but not so busy that you didn't not enjoy it. The drivers are amazing and so was the sunset. We had a drink and some apps and I thought prices were reasonable and what I would expect for an attraction like this. Nice that... More

My husband and I booked a tour for Rick's Cafe for the sunset; the best part of the tour was being taken to Sea Wind resort in Negril before going to Rick's Cafe; Rick's Cafe was overcrowded and not a pleasurable experience; however, it was nice to see the cliff divers but the guy going around with the tip bucket...

We visited Rick's Cafe on April 16th on a bus tour via Jamaica Tour Lines. When we were entered we were immediately asked if we wanted a table...we thought we had to take a table in order to watch the divers...you don't have to! Just stand along the brick wall and watch the bravery of the amazing locals dive and... More

Rick's Cafe was great because of all of the people that were there. The water was clear and watching people jumping from the cliffs were great. More

I went to Ricks cafe after a day trip snorkleling. I thought it was superb and I didn't want to go back to my hotel! Food: the food was really nice however it was slightly overpriced! But what can you expect at a top cafe on the edge of a cliff! Sea: this is what Ricks cafe is all about... More

A must see place if you are near Negril! If you are staying in a resort and want to get out and experience the REAL Jamaica, go to Rick’s Café and interact with the locals. Be prepared to give a small tip to the divers and instructors if you are interested in taking a dive. As a diver, this was... More
