The last thing I would want is to discourage anyone from going to Negril, I doubt my influence on anyone is that potent..
I'm just a boardie that loves Negril and this board...it's just things you need to be wary of..being spontaneous is fun..but stop and think, even just for a second- could prevent an unfortunate event.

I for one have never felt unsafe in Negril...and I have traveled there several times with my daughter - I don't go to any sketchy places nor do I know of any...I'm always happy to be there, I feel free and relaxed and enjoy every minute of it. I trust the people of Negril are more inclined to help you if they witness a disturbance and that is comforting.
