I believe that I have heard that same little birdie.

For quite some time now I have been hearing Treasure Beach is what Negril used to be. Quiet, laid back sleepy little beach town. Negril was just on the edge of that 11 years ago when we went our first time. Further down this post Original Spanky mentions the words Americanized, and I think that's what feels different at Negril. The restaurants have prices equal to home, the drinks are getting there. There a lot if trips we used to take like the Pelican Bar that we just find too expensive a day now. We used to talk at length with the salesmen on the beach and loved it. The occasional one would come and have a drink or try teach us how to play dominoes, but now the guys on the beach remind me of the guys in the travelling carnival booths selling "3 shots for 5 bucks". Makes you just want to walk by. I would like to get back to the quiet beach where you can sit and strike up a conversation with a local. Have you found that's the experience in Treasure Beach?
