All great tips. I personally don't like to carry all the cash I'm going to need for the duration of my stay which is usually 3 weeks. I think the most important tip for someone going to Negril is to SLLLOOOOWWWW down. Island time is a wonderful thing on vacation. Never get to a restaurant when you are totally famished as "everyting soon come", sometimes that is an hour or more. Slow down, enjoy all the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and culture that Jamaica has to offer. One of my favorite activities for the day was shopping at a local store (not HiLo, but a store owned and run by a local) on the way to the Marchtown basic school, grabbing snacks and essential supplies for the class and visiting the kids. You have to arrange this so they know you are coming but by far the most rewarding experience of my entire lifetime. Don't be surprised if you hear a bunch of kids in unison say "white people" when you get there. They don't make it out of their neighborhoods often and don't see that many white people. When we heard them it gave us a chuckle.
