You did the right thing. A lady I am friendly with who has a guest cottage in Negril posted something a shade negative about one of the beach bars. It was not a horrible thing, just an account of less than stellar treatment. She was there at that place again (with guests from US) about a week later and they BANNED her from the property. Which was probably not a good move on their part either. But my point was that I understand you not wanting to expose yourself to any negative back wash, especially while still in Negril.
Peace.
