Obviously, it's not a popular opinion, but I understand the feelings of the original poster. We began going on the One Love Pub Crawl about a year after its inception. At the time it was a great way to get off the resorts and experience new parts of Negril, it was exactly what we needed to be prompted to leave the A/I and not look back. Lenbert was very engaging and a wealth of knoweledge about the area. We have probably gone 5 or 6 times over the years and noticed a definite change. The last time we went we made a stop at Lenbert's ex wifes "bar" which only opened when the bus pulled up and shuttered as we pulled away. We did not feel this offered much in the experience department as it wasn't really an actual operating business.

We then went onto the "shantytown" stop, which turned into quite the mob scene. We have been told by those in Negril that are far smarter than us, not to cater to the begging culture. We donate through Travelers Resort and let them decide what to do with the things. I understand Lenbert trying to help people out, and I don't know what I would do if I were him, so I don't judge, it's just not for me. The bus was quiet after that stop, everyone was kinda in a bit of shock and awe by what we saw. It really did get quite aggressive as has been described before, folks coming on the bus, pushing back the "school supplies" and asking for cash, etc., etc. Lenbert seemed to be pretty stressed and really didn't engage like he used to. I can only imagine the pressure he is under by the businesses, community etc. to get him to stop at their places.

We realized after that trip that the One Love Pub Crawl just wasn't for us anymore. I have referred others to give it a try and we may again at some point, but I feel like it has evolved and I just preferred the original. To each his own and I wish Lenbert continued success and he has done a lot of good for Negril for sure.

I wouldn't call Lenbert greedy, but I do get how one could feel that your money is being a bit more "directed" with the selection of the stops over what it used to be.
