This topic is one that comes up on occasion, and one that has varying degrees of understanding. We all deal with what we feel comfortable with, and our experiences shape us one way or another. Rob has done a good job of adding some color to an often contentious topic. I for one used to visit the island 3-4 times a year, however my last visit was July last year for Sumfest, and I likely will not be back until the new year. Why? I'm not 100% sure as I miss Jamaica, Negril, and my local friends a lot. Especially with the sargassum issues throughout the Caribbean, Negril has one of the best beaches out there. The bull$hit hassle has a huge impact, even though I have been on island over 20 times. I have not been to a place with more hassle, not remotely close to Negril. The authorities want to increase tourism? This would be a great start.
