    You do know that Quality makes delicious lionfish?

    I have heard this! Any particular way better than others? Or I'll go with the old standby of garlic.

    West End road made into a one way road, with sidewalk and streetlights. A return loop would have to be built, maybe not easy or cheap, but in the long run the best thing to do.
    Regarding the trash situation, a deposit should be charged on every beverage container. The deposit should be high enough that someone will pick up any littered containers for some cash. This would also reduce the horrible practice of burning of plastic. Absolutely the right thing to do, na tru?

    Some way to thin out the BS hustlers. The guys/ladies walking the beach selling actual goods (art, music, fruit, cakes, juices, etc) are fine and always welcome; but the guys with bracelets, begging beers and begging money can become trying. Also getting a handle on the sex trade would be great. As a frequent solo traveler, I don't want to be propositioned every 500 yards by girls and their aggressive pimps. Trust me, anyone looking for that can easily find it without being harassed. Somehow it's unbelievable for many of them to understand that a single guy there isn't interested in a date for the night.

    Sorry, it is not my intent to make this a *****ing post. Just what would make it more enjoyable for me.

    OK...my turn....My wife and I having been going to Negril for about (15) years, so we are familiar with the runnings, and our very favorite thing to do is late, just before sunset, drag our chairs to the waters edge, drink a cold Red Stripe, watch the sunset and listen to the waves...but...nearly every time we do that, we are approached numerous times to buy something or shake hands, etc. and when I refuse to buy or "be their friend", we have been cursed (F-bombs) and verbily insulted... so if the Authorities could find a way to cut down on "illegal" vendors...........

    All great suggestions so far. How about slowing the traffic down. The speed at which many drive is just plain dangerous...........for pedestrians and other vehicles. The wife and I are looking forward to our 10th trip this coming February.
    Peace, Todd & Cher

    Cleanup is key - gullies, standing water in anything breeds evil mosquitos and they transfer dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses. Even if they don't spread the disease, the itching is maddening.

    Right on Moose with the lionfish - I don't spear (I would love to but don't have the gear) but when snorkeling, I make sure to point out the lionfish locations to locals with spears - everyone seems keen to grab these monsters. They are very tasty, had them at the Westender, Cliffhanger (on the East Coast) and a couple other spots. Ask for them if you don;t see them on the menu!
