The Bar-B-Barn is by no means the worlds nicest hotel but if you are going to Negril to have a good time and be on the beach all day then there are no problems with it. I was just there for Spring Break for a week and it was fine. The maid did a very nice job cleaning the room everyday and as a result the room was always in good condition. The beach is nice, the bar is fun, and the pizza across the street is some of the best in the world...seriously. You get your money's worth at the Bar-B-Barn.

Negril was beautiful and I do recommend that people visit. Just don't stay at this hotel. The bedding reeked of mildew, the lights in the rooms were constantly blinking, the air conditioner made it difficult to sleep due to the constant flow of ice it sent crashing to the floor. There was also no soap in the bathroom and the service left something to be desired as well. Try the Point Village instead. It'll be worth it.

I stayed at Bar B Barn for 6 nights a few years ago and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The meals were delicious and affordable. Their spot directly on the beach is lovely,come have drinks and/or a meal and catch some rays, go swimming, take a nap in your very clean and cool room. No one has mentioned that you can also rent a vehicle here as well. If you would like to rent a scooter or motorcycle? Go directly across the street and there you have it.
There are many places to see, nice bars and dance places on the beach to visit. Such as Alfred's, they have great food and drinks and a really good DJ named Damion! If you are not sure about where to stay,spend a couple nights at Bar B Barn, it won't take long to feel at home. The staff is very attentive, some places here in Negril at even more expensive places, the staff could care less!
The exchange rate if you change over your money here ... is not too good, change your money at the bank or at the Cambio,it's about a hundred feet from the gate of Bar B Barn to the left, if you are facing Norman Manley Blvd. Also if you like/love jerk chichen? There is an awesome cart right out front at night. {My favorite meal here was the ackee and saltfish for breakfast- yummy!!}

I'll admit, the hokey name made me skeptical of the food at the Bar-B-Barn, but dinner there was one of the best meals of my life. I was with a group, and Norm (the chef) prepared a menu personally for us. I had a lovely fresh salad with raisins and beets, jerk pork with fried plantains, carrots and chocho (a local squash-like vegetable), and rice, and fresh vanilla ice cream with fried bananas. I can't attest to the hotel, but the food at the Bar-B-Barn is amazing--you won't be disappointed.
