We have taken tonnes of newbies with us to Jamaica and most recently Negril. We tell them up front our expectations of the vacation. We will help you get your feet wet but after that if our pathes cross while on vacation great, if not you are gonna have a blast anyway. We always hook them up with our driver or one of his friends that he trusts. Never had a problem and the list of happy people grows every year. Jamaica to me is about an individual experience. You don't want to have my idea of a vacation, you need to have yours. Recommend they do some research, set up some goals and if all else fails, wing it baby!
