What are the pros and cons of living in Negril?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Negril responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Negril, often like the beautiful beaches, such as the famous Seven Mile Beach, which offer a picturesque and relaxing environment. They also appreciate the warm and sunny weather, which is perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the natural beauty of the island. The friendly and welcoming locals make it easy for expats to feel at home and integrate into the community. Additionally, the vibrant culture, music, and food scene in Negril provide a unique and enjoyable experience for expats and digital nomads. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the relatively high cost of living in Negril, especially when it comes to housing and imported goods. The limited availability of reliable and fast internet can also be a challenge for digital nomads who rely on a stable connection for their work. Furthermore, the lack of public transportation and the need for a car to get around can be inconvenient for some. Finally, safety concerns, such as petty crime and theft, can be a downside for expats living in Negril, although this is not unique to Jamaica and can be found in many tourist destinations around the world," said one expat in living in Negril, Jamaica.
