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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

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

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