[SLP]

Can anyone name a vacation destination with NO crime, besides Fantasy Island?

Can anyone name anywhere with No crime?

Here's my 2cents on this..I'm a about to come back to Negril by the end of the month for my 25th year..(I'm a West End guy)...I must admit last years visit had some real bad issues that made me question whether I would return after my 6 week (Jan-March) stay...I couldn't wait to go home...I've seen a lot of change in the vibe though the years in Negril but have never EVER felt not safe or threatened in Negril or the West End...it wasn't safety issues it was local traffic scam issue (I drive a motorcycle there) by locals that put a very BAD FUNK on the my stay as well as some other local funk...but as time heals all wounds as they say I'm returning..& looking very forward to it! Now that said..I live in 53 miles NW of Chicago...& as our president Trump keeps reminding the American public of Chicago's big time crime..it is & does exist.

I felt that way two years ago as well after a couple of trips. However, my past two trips things have felt much more chill, especially on the West End. I saw daily roadblocks set up, however in there usual spots. Wish they would change it up a bit, so it's a little less predictable. The Po Po presence was fairly consistent and was nice to see.

Wow. I agree with TAH on something.

As do I. Ping Pong likes to shout down on occasion and it is a turn off. However, I agree that as much time Marko spends on the rock, you think he would beotch a little less.

Not likely, but many places with much less crime. However crime is not too far off, just like in Jamaica. I love Tulum and Isla Mujeres, yet just down the road you will see the same travel advisories that Jamaica is receiving. With that said, I did meet a Dutch couple last week that was robbed on the beach during the day. Nice people and I felt bad for them as they were really enjoying their trip, and this put a bit of a damper on it. I feel fortunate in all of my trips, that outside of the occasional irritating higgler, nothing has really happened. I look forward to maintaining that streak.....

Last I looked I haven't seen Negril included in any travel advisory. Carry on as usual peeps.

If I "turn you off" then I guess it is a mission accomplished. Your childish using of "Ping Pong" when you know the name is "Accompong" and of great historical significance in Jamaican history is as much of a turn off as being referred to as a "Booger" must be to you used in context. Stories of getting drunk and barhopping are not my thing either so we probably would never cross paths anyways.

I am entitled to my opinion and voice it as I see fit within the rules set by Rob and Negril.com .
