Default Jamaica advice?

I am planning a trip to Jamaica in October. Has anyone been there? I'm not even sure which part of Jamaica to look at, let alone what resort to choose. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Haven't been to Jamaica but I heard from some people who went that Americans have to be careful there because there is a lot of crime and car jackings. Not trying to ruin your vacation but it is better to be safe than sorry.

The only advice I have is to stop in New York State and pick up a fellow RN to join you on your trip! LOL, just kidding - I have no idea, I've never been there, but I hope you have a blast! And take lots of pictures!!!!

I have never been off the east coast and only south bound then. I would just research it a bit and find out some dos and donts. Have a great vacation.

Friends of mine went for their honeymoon and stayed at the Sandals resort. They really liked it, but were a little shocked at the poverty all around. Guess it can be like that anywhere- but I know they loved the resort.

OMG...have fun!!! Just remember that there really isnt a speed limit there and they have lots of curves!!! I have been to Jamaica Jamaica quite a few times. We lived in Guatanamo Bay Cuba for 4 years and would hop flights and military ships over for a day or 2 at a time on the weekends. I worked for a Cuban/Jamaican whose family owned a hotel right there and they always took care of us. It is so much fun there!!

I worked for a travel agent and I heard Montego Bay is the busier area. If you want more quiet and relaxion then Ocho Rios or Negil.
