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 last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.
