Best areas in Jamaica:
Main Scene: Nightlife strip. Best concentration of venues. Busy but learnable.
Alternatives: Side streets have hidden gems.
Hope this helps.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $110/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

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

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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
