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
- Transport tips

I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Germany.

Cheers

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
