Returned from 8 days in Jamaica. Exceeded expectations.

Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $74/night. Quiet area but close to the action.

Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were fair for the quality.

Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 10 encounters total.

Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Found great local restaurants.

Safety:
Felt safe throughout.

Overall: 9/10. Solid choice, will be back.

Happy to answer any questions.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $50/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
