you can do a LOT of eating at the RIU, so u can use that as motivation while trying to save money in the days before ..... Just hook up with a nice cabbie as a regular driver, and I guarantee he will look out for you. that would be my first move in Negril. Just ask him to follow you around on foot everywhere you go, tip him 10 bucks, and you're golden. He will protect you like his own daughter!
