In closing, and to reiterate my reason for writing this review. For the first time ever, I found I was carrying a hard to define feeling of concern toward my trip to Negril. This was something new and disconcerting to me. I attribute it mostly to giving too much weight to reviews and opinions of those who either have no first hand experience with a given place or situation, or have unrealistic expectations. I am totally aware that Negril has changed over the years. Especially the last 5 - 10 years. I know there are more pushy vendors. I know there is more opportunistic crime. But I also know that YOU (me) and your (my) attitude and demeanor, carry a huge weight toward the total experience and eventual outcome of your time spent in Jamaica (Negril). To go to one of the most beautiful and relaxing places in the world, and spend $31 a day for a room, and NOT expect a few bumps is just plain stupid. We all need to examine where we go and why we go there…and take a deep breath.[quote spub]

Well written and nice review. The above is some of the best advise given.
