Yes.
Spend a couple of days off the property, sampling the local food and
drink. Have some of the fruits that you won't get inside the
"compound" and make sure you have patties and coco bread from one of the
local shops. Avoid the pier area, since that's where most of the real
hustling goes on, very high pressure and obnoxious. Don't promise to
come back and buy something if you don't mean it. The locals have long
memories. Say no decisively but politely. Listen to the locals, and
you'll get a lot of good advice and local lore. Dunn's River falls is a
must, even if it IS a real touristy spot. You'll have fun there.
Most of all, spend time off the property, and use your basic street
smarts. Ochi is a safe town, you won't be robbed at gunpoint or
anything if you're even remotely sensible. Crime is pretty low in that
area.
