advice needed newbie 2nd half of April

[Marko]

never had any problem at any place mi have ever stayed.........
is one place safer or more secure than another.......don't think so for the most part.........
mi only advice is don't stay at a place that doesn't have regular security guards.......
like a small mom and pop place that isn't gated with no security at night.......
not many of those around but if you stay at any regular resort or hotel.....they'll have security fulltime
big problem is the tourist themselves when they do stupid things sometimes......
like walking da beach by themselves at 3AM in da morning.........
or walking anywhere that time of the morning solo......lol
or carrying a purse with a lot of money in it and/or a passport in it......
leaves those things in da safe..........
sometimes people leave der common sense back at the airport when they arrive......lol
she'll be okay........

Thank you everyone!

Tattoo: The cheaper the better for her. The less she spends on a room, the more she can see and do while she is there. She is a low maintenance kind of lady and can get by with a sleeping bag on the beach LOL, however safety is important so she does need something safer than that! Nothing fancy needed, she just doesn't want to worry about her personal safety, or even her possessions when she is out of the
room. On the beach is always first choice, but if enough dollars are saved she could pay transportation and still come out ahead. We liked Jah b's, I have an email in to them as well as to Blue Horizon, will see if they have any vacancies.

SLP: That looks like a great place. Thanks! I have emailed for availability hoping to hear back from all the places soon!

Marco: She is a wise, smart and careful lady, so I too think she will be fine. I will be in Negril, arriving a couple weeks before her and will be at the Sea Star. She is hoping to spend less though, no more than 40.00 if at all possible. She is a little up in the air at the moment, she has invited a friend, but the friend has not committed the the trip or bough tickets yet so that is making it a little more difficult to make a
decision. She can get more room for less money if there are 2 of them. She's hoping to find out in the next few days.

This is my first trip to Jamaica also, I am counting the seconds!! (We both are)
