Hi kaycee,

Negril is beautiful now too it's just different like the world is. Look at wherever you live and think back to 1975 and remember a slower pace of life, no computers or cell phones, far less BS in the universe. Negril Beach was and is one of the nicest in the world it's just developed and more crowded, polluted, far more hustle. When I first visited Negril it was a bargain, brought my own tent and pitched it in Miss Gloria's yard and stayed for about a month cost me including food, drink, etc... about $300 USD. Airfare from NYC to MoBay was like $150 round trip. Back then the exchange rate was $1 USD = 80 cents JA. The vibe in Negril was very laid back, no problem, cool runnings!!! Crime amounted to stolen wallets or cameras usually left unattended on the beach. Police were rare and as long as you kept your wits about you and didn't do anything really, really stupid you could have a really awesome time.
