Visited Jamaica for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $147/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8.5/10. Would return.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $67/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.
