  • been to jamaica?

    anyone here been to jamaica? Anyone been recently? How was the trip? Would you advise friends to go?

    On the website for the US embassy in Jamaica there are numerous warnings about safety. Suppose to not stay out after dark, not venture away from the resorts, violent crime rate per capita is amongst the highest in the world. Theft, etc etc.

      Been 3 times not in the last few years though. It's cheap with nice beaches but.if money were no issue I would go to Bermuda hands down. Nicer then every island in the Caribbean.

        Went to Sandals all inclusive in Negril and I can't say one bad thing about it. I have a thread with a few pics on here.

          Yea the resorts are nice, but you leave the resort and its a dump. I would rather be on an island where I can walk around without fear.

              cool blm, i will search for it. since i've been looking it seems Negril is the most expensive, but also the safest maybe because it is the spot that is the most distance from Kingston and other big cities.

              kinda same thoughts as bouncer dont want to feel stuck to the resort, yet don't want to be worrying if we do venture off into town.

                      of all the islands i have been too, the Jamaican resort food is actually the best.

                      Jamaicans know how to grill. if you like spicy grill food you will love all the jerk chicken and beef and veggies they do on the grill.

                      place we went had huge grill pits on the beach every night. love it.
