Has anyone been to Jamaica recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
