I haven't checked these Negril lodgings out in person, but culled user comments are consistently good. Check Hostelworld.com or review links below for user ratings.
Cheap digs in the Caribbean can be hard to find, but that white sand is so alluring, no matter the price. Judging from my experience, you may have the best luck finding inexpensive rooms in the off season which, unfortunately, is not during spring break (March and part of April) -- but give it a shot and you may get lucky.
