Banana Shout Resort . . .
where reality ends and adventures in tropical paradise begin.
Banana Shout Resort is located in the western coastal area of Jamaica, on the coral cliffs of the southern portion of Negril. It is only one-half mile from the historic Negril Lighthouse. Nearby are various retail stops: Rick's, a well-known watering hole, and other restaurants and bars are within walking distance, as well as a small grocery. Though the night life is available, the secluded character of the West End of Negril provides a quiet getaway for couples or family. The charm of Jamaica is present in the nearby street shops and interaction with the sales folk is a must.
The cliff area is famous for the live coral coves teeming with caribbean tropical fish. For those who prefer scuba diving, glass-bottomed and other charter boats are available for hire to offshore reefs. Stables and horse trails are just out of town and the seven mile white sand beach starts at the north end of the town center. Most all water sport activities from sailboats, parasailing, water skiing, and jet skiing are choices you may enjoy. Tours to Y-S Falls, Appleton Rum Distillery and many historic locations may be easily arranged. Contact Mark Conklin, your host, for history, directions, or escort around the island. His twenty years in Jamaica can provide the background or information you seek. Mark has also written a novel, called Banana Shout . The definitive story of Negrils formative years (1970-1974), using his extensive knowledge of the island, the people, their ways, and the history of the land. The novel is now available for order on amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and borders.com. For those of you in the publishing or dramatic businesses, it could be an exciting discussion topic.
We offer you the seclusion, privacy, and intimacy of our seven unique cottages. Four are perched on the 30 foot cliff's edge, offering spectacular sunset watching, with tiered sun decks built into and around a cave with a fresh water shower. Your own private snorkeling cove and teeming coral reef is two feet from our shore. Our other three well equipped romantic cottages are set in lush tropical foliage with secluded garden pathways amongst exotic water lily ponds.
All cottages share our private ocean cove, have cooling ceiling fans, island decor, relaxing hammocks, kitchenettes, daily maid service, and security.
Banana Shout is more than a vacation. It's an experience where friendships are made and maintained throughout the years.
