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 a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.
