Same here. We had been traveling and thought of Jamaica, but believed the rumors we had heard like, "it's not safe to leave your resort, etc".

When we were in Akumal Beach, Mexico we ran into so many "Logo Gringo's" (travel forum) and they said their other favorite place was Jamaica. Hmm....that got me thinking and all I now is in June 2009 we went to Negril for the first time. Stayed in cottage #4 Xtabi. Went back to the same cottage only 2-1/2 months later in September. Stayed at Citronella January, 2010, Samsara April 2010, Banana Shout November 2010 and Catcha/Banana November 2011.

Hubby and I are venturing outside Negril this year and going to out islands of the Bahamas (Abaco's) for a bit of island hopping and then going back to the Bahamas later in Oct. I am sure after that, we will be back in Negril. You can only stay away so long.
