Visited Jamaica for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $116/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.
Is Jamaica worth visiting?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
