Non AI is definitely better on your diet, that is for sure. How many of us were raised to eat what was on our plate?!?!

Definitely better for the diet. After 9 or 10 trips AI and gaining at least 8 lbs each trip we finally did non AI and only gained 3. Much easier to take off when you get home. No more AI for us!
Would it be safe to say that there's no right or wrong way to experience Negril for the people on this forum? I'm pretty new to the forum and haven't seen any negative remarks towards the people or the country. I think the reason people joined this forum is because they want to learn more, want to enhance their next experience, and share their memories. I have to admit that I have seen many enteresting points of view in regards to this post. Some people like AN, AI, non AI, both, with kids, no kids, and some travel alone. (now that would be an experience that I never thought of)
Maybe WE are "Out of Many, One People". LOL...sorry to be cheesey.
Well spoken Shark Bait!
I hate everybody equally, so this post doesn't have much relevance for me.
My wife and I, and often our kids, have been going to Jamaica since the late 80's and have stayed at a lot of different resorts, A-I and Non. We like both at differnt times for different reasons.
This type of discussion (A-I v Non) comes up periodically over and over again. The part of it that seems just silly to me is when people who don't like A-I resorts start saying that when you stay at one, "You can't see the real Jamaica" or "When you stay at at A-I you are fenced inside your resort". I have even read posts by people who have said they think you are not allowed to leave your A-I resort. It just makes me want to scream sometimes. ou xcan have a really good and valid discussion about which costs more or less overall, but as for seeing Jamaica they can be exactly the same. The truth is that both A-I and Non can provide an awesome vacation. When it comes to seeing Jamaica, or meeting and interacting with Jamaicans, etc... staying at an A-I is NO DIFFERENT than staying anywhere else. If you are at an A-I here is the trick... walk on the front entrance head downt the road, or grab a cab... or head down the beach on foot....and go wherever you want. You know... just like when staying at a Non-A-I.Your hotel is a base of operations. From there you do what makes your vacation awesome for you... no matter where you are staying.
It's awesome either way.

@ Booger. Classic!
@ Mo: I always lose weight in Jamaica despite eating and drinking to my heart's content. Probably because in the past I have walked everywhere, and Jamaicans diet's are healthier...lots of fruit, lower fat and carbs...
@ Shark: agreed my friend.
Booger! I can't wait to hang with you.....you make me laugh
Brasi- I walk a lot there too but have never lost weight in all my trips. Not eating enough fruit but lots of rice and peas I guess. I hate to admit it but I think it's all the drinking. I do wring my liver out when I get home. It helps a little.
