"Catch the Sunset at Rick's Cafe Rick's is probably the most touristy spot in all of Jamaica, but there's a reason it's listedin 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, so don't miss experiencing it at least once. Get there around 4 p.m. to avoid the crush of tour bus traffic that happens closer to sunset, thenordera couple of cocktails—Rick's serves up a myriad of options—and stake your claimon a primeviewing spot for the sunset and cliff-diving.Local divers swing from trees and drop into the surf or plummet from the surrounding cliffs, some of whichrise more than 30 feet above the sea. Even the occasional tourist will brave the jump into the water below.A reggae band adds to the animated vibe. Lest you feel like just another tourist sheep at the sunset very-happy hour, console yourself in knowing that locals enjoyit almost as much as visitors do."

After hearing so much about Rick’s, I finally got to experience it. It was much better that i could have expected. From the moment I arrived I felt like the staff were professional, quick, and friendly. Our host offered us a choice of table - close to the music and dancing or in a quieter area with a better view of the sunset. I chose the latter and after my meal, moved to a seat closer to the stage where dance competitions were happening. The prices are a bit more expensive than a typical Jamaican restaurant but this experience is not typical. It’s a special experience complete with a great view. We ordered the escovitch fish and the pepper shrimp. Both were exceptional. All in all it was a 10/10 experience and I’d go back again anytime. Tips: - If the main parking lot is full there is one just across the street - If you really want to see the sunset, ask to be sat in the red stripe section which is to the right of the stage. The view is unobstructed and stunning - While your food is being made, you can wander around in the meantime and see the cliff jumpers. Just let your server know.

My absolute favorite place in the world! Just an amazing place. They vibe there is fantastic which goes along with the best burger I’ve ever had. The cliff jumping is a bonus. They get extremely busy, so don’t expect a quick visit if you’re going there for a quick lunch. But the music and atmosphere is FANTASTIC to just hang out for a while.

I've always wanted to visit Rick's Cafe because I saw it as one of those 'must go to' locations. I visited it in the early morning, like around 10 am, which was a bad idea, because the place was empty. I was later told that Rick's Cafe doesn't start to get lively until around 1pm. So I drove around Negril a bit until it got later. When I did come back in the later hours, it was a complete change. The whole parking lot was full of cars and the place crammed with people... Rick's Cafe had truly started to come to life. The music was bumping, the dancers were dancing and people were just having fun... Rick's Cafe was truly a vibe. If you're a person who doesn't like heavy crowds, then this place is not for you because it gets very crowded on a daily basis. Most, if all of the crowd, are tourists. Watching people cliff jump in the sea was a spectacle. Speaking of the sea, I have never seen sea water so blue and clear anywhere else in Jamaica. It made me wonder if they put something in it to make it look that way. As it got later, the real spectacle of Rick's Cafe started to take place, the sunset. The sunset from Rick's Cafe was magnificent... it happened real fast too. Now, I didn't order any food or drink, I really just went there for the vibes and overall experience.

hi guys During my recent visit to Negril, Jamaica, I had the opportunity to explore a particular spot that had been making waves, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you all. The location offered stunning views of the ocean and was decorated in a way that truly stood out, boasting unique designs that added to the overall ambiance. What particularly caught my eye was the presence of a red stripe Oldsmobile parked on the deck, giving the place a distinctive and classy touch. The food I sampled at the establishment had a continental flair and was enjoyable, while the drinks, although satisfactory, did not stand out as much. Overall, I found the experience to be quite pleasant, and I believe it would be a great spot to visit again, especially for capturing memorable moments with family and friends and soaking in the good vibes that the place exudes.

Really cool touristy place to visit. Had the beer battered shrimp and jerk chicken. Would order both again. Great service and nice little shop. Jumping the cliffs is a lot of fun and the crew make it safe and enjoyable.

Box checked. Don't really need to return again. But we did have a great time all the same. Warmly greeted by the hostess and she took us upstairs to our table. Our server was very pleasant and took our drink order. We left and went and watched some cliff jumpers, including one in our group. We returned to our table and ordered some appetizers. Finished eating and watched a wonderful sunset. Music was incredibly loud, but we were okay with it. DJ was obnoxious and had a filthy mouth. His language didn't add anything of value. Instead, it made us hurry up and leave quicker. Great facilty. Very clean and well kept. The cliff jumping was a treat to watch. The staff we encountered, not counting the DJ, were all wonderful.

If you come here go around the afternoon to catch the sunset. Yes that’s what Everybody says for a reason. The atmosphere was very chill. You get to see cliff divers and can jump in yourself if you like. They have different jump off points. 8ft 11ft. 25ft and 35ft. The drinks were good and strong. The food was mid. We had the wings and fries. Fries were good but the wings weren’t.

Latty, the bartender, so customer friendly, she knows her stuff, made me one of her special things, and I totally enjoyed. The executive chef made me his special, even made a salad because I'm lactose intolerant, that level of service. One of Jamaica's finest.
