Negril finally has my "go-to" spot: Bak A Yaad Hostel & Cottages! Initially, I booked a week, but this hidden gem was so incredible, I extended my stay four or five times. Nestled in the beautiful West End, Bak A Yaad is a family-owned oasis managed by the wonderful Jordan, his brother Cameron, and their amazing staff – Allecia, Elaine, and their local team.
Words can't do justice to how amazing Bak A Yaad is. From the diverse range of accommodations to the incredible hospitality, everything about this place is perfect for an epic Jamaican experience.
As a retired Navy veteran and ocean enthusiast, I'm searching for a diving base for Wounded Warriors, veterans, and their families. Bak A Yaad's location, atmosphere, and values perfectly align with my vision. I see a future filled with introducing these heroes to scuba diving, collaborating on coral reef restoration projects, fostering local education, and empowering communities through online income generation.
Bak A Yaad is more than just a place to stay for me, it's a springboard for creating positive change in Jamaica and the local communities & especially the educational resources to the children.
