Then I suggest you save your money and mental anguish. Unfortunately it can happen to the most seasoned Jamaica visitor and I feel terrible that Kahuna was victimized. I've enjoyed his writings over the years as much as anyone on this board. We've been traveling to Negril since 1992. We are not AI people. Never have been. Started out in $20 per night huts with my 24 hour security sleeping in a hammock right outside my window. Things were different in 1992. We have never had any serious "incidents" in all of our travels to Negril but know of others who have. Almost every one of them were avoidable if the proper precautions would have been taken. Some of the "incidents" that have happened were self induced, others are from people just plain being stupid.Originally Posted by evorbach
Regardless of how comfortable and relaxed one can get while in Negril you need to understand your surroundings. We have many good true Jamaican friends that take care of us during our visits. We have known them for many years. Know who you are associating with or have someone with you that you can trust. If you don't. then don't. Be careful not to let your guard down when you're out-n-about. If you are new to visiting Negril take some advise from a veteran visitor. Many people on this board offer great advice. I work hard too and look forward to every visit to Jamaica. It's therapeutic.
Be smart. Be safe. Relax and have fun. Respect.
Soon come can't come soon enough!
