Got back from Negril on Monday and the outright begging was terrible this trip. The higglers were the same as always, but there was a heck of a lot of outright begging, not higgling, on this trip. And, a simple "no" did not deter them. I finally took to looking the beggar in the eye and stating "I work hard for my money and I don't give it away to ANYONE." That actually did the trick, each and every time....YMMV.
