Reading these stories from people that actually live (or lived) there, I mean as opposed to tourists/visitors, really enforces what I have felt- Negril is not what it was.
Really, the thought of being confined to my room after dark just to be safe ruins the idea of a fun vacation.
I wish I could have experienced Negril 25-30 yrs ago but I guess that would also make me a bit of an oldster lol.
We are looking forward to our next Jamaica trip, but its time to check out what lies east of MoBay. Boston Beach, Port Antonio, etc will be the agenda next time. I feel for the locals of Negril that will suffer from a lack of business as people start to avoid what used to be such a great place.
