Visited Jamaica for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $104/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. One of my favourites.

Been going for years. The scene has stayed consistent.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.
