Visited Jamaica for 12 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $63/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
