Negril was originally named Xtabi: "The meeting place of the Gods," by the Arawaks one of Jamaica’s native Taino Tribes. Cut off from the rest of the island by wetlands, and tidal marshes with dense waterlogged soil. Xtabi was a secluded paradise , where the Arawaks lived in harmony with "the land of Wood and Water..." a land they inhabited for thousands of years and felt a deep spiritual connection with. Then the foreigners came...and destroyed it all. Will history repeat itself?
