There is no denying that both Negril and Montego Bay, Jamaica are two of the best cities in Jamaica to experience the full โJamaican tourist experienceโ. While both offer similar experiences and features, the general atmosphere of both towns is polar opposites.
Many would say that Negril provides more of a luxurious, relaxing experience while Montego Bay caters more to those who love to get out and party it up in the clubs. So it is very understandable that while you visit the western side of Jamaica, you might want to take the opportunity to explore both cities.
Both cities have a lot to offer with only a few key differences. If you would rather enjoy the beach, water sports and stay at the resort, Negril would cater to your needs. But, if you are the life of the party, love dining out, socialising and club-hopping through the night then Montego Bay would be the better option for you.
If you are driving, which you will most likely be doing, it will be around 48 miles. It will take you approximately an hour and 30 minutes from Negril to get to Montego Bay, and this is without making any stops.

Well, this is the perfect opportunity for you to experience the beauty of Jamaica from a different vantage point. A simple google search will provide you with quite a few options such as Jamaica Quest Tours, which offers both services.
