Both were nice tales to read.
My entry in 1984, when 3 miles of the beach road was only sand, trees and road, would not use beauty as a description, yet I would not use beauty nor an opposite as a description in the current era. More conjested I WOULD use.
I can relate to FireMon's interaction with security back then. Be it late at night, not wanting to be in my room but not wanting to be on the road either, security at the booth at both Negril Beach Club and Hedo-II were "captive audiences" since they had to be there and it was nice to talk to someone. Even though you said you "wouldn't be able to do them justice", I would be interested if you shared some.
There is, of course, the message and the poetic way they spoke; 2 aspects. Just as one grounds keeper said to me "Go to prison" when he saw I was carrying a kitchen knife. Advice in a small package.
Security guards on the beach at nite were not as cool as Firemon's, and anyway, I graduated to the West End during trip 3 which had dogs who knew who was a guest and who wasn't. They would walk with you and sit with you but wouldn't talk
