Jamaica is great. Would certainly recommend Montego Bay.

I'm sure Jamaica is fantastic but I think Barbados is as near to perfection as you can get.

Well i have not been to those two but i have spoken to quite a few people that have been to the Dom Republic, all preferred Cuba.
Cuba has the lowest crime rate in the whole of the Western hemisphere, and you could go anywhere day or night.
Montego Bay and the trips were lovely but because i got a last minute cheap deal i grabbed a really good hotel, above what i paid, so i was lucky

Everything in Moderation
Have only spent any significant time in Barbados and Grenada. Would certainly recommend the latter strongly, due to the fact that I felt Barbados had lost a little charm. Had my Mini Moke nicked from outside a club, meant a long, long walk home.

I went to Sandals Negril but many years ago.
I agree, fabulous beach, vibe with all that Reggae and Lovers Rock with rum based cocktails as the sun goes down.
Jamaicans come across as a bit miserable and up themselves but it's more to do with being totally laid back than rude.
Had some fabulous food, Red Stripe and rum this and rum that.
Only 1 thing, Negril is at the end of Jamaica, so travelling to any tourist places can be a long drawn out affair.
I remember going to a restaurant/ cafe of which I cannot remember the name but it's quite famous, it was high up on a cliff great sunset, live reggae, stank of cannabis, great night out.

i believe the cafe on the cliff you are referring to is Ricks Cafe, famous for cliff diving.
Negril is fantastic, best beaches by far and Sunset at the Palms is a great place to stay. Loved it and will be going back.

I love Jamaica, been twice to runaway Bay and going back again next year.
However that was as a family. Not sure what an adults only group trip would be like. May be best sticking to ocho rios or mo Bay. Certainly the north of the island is calmer, most of the naughty boys are found at Kingston and the South

Yep, Ricks, that was the one. Certainly worth visiting, although I forgot the name its one of those places you never forget that you visited.

It depends what you are looking for. I went to Jamaica early 90s and it was fantastic, clubbing with locals, toured most of the island, only Kingston was classed as a no go. I went back a few years ago and felt that it would be dangerous to go out of the hotel. Extortionate prices for excursions. I do not know if this is an impression or reality. If you want to chill in an all inclusive no problem,but if you 'll
Like exploring maybe try another destination.

We went to Runaway bay last August, amazing place, it is not as unsafe as some will say / make out, we had an incredible holiday (also our son got married out there at the same time) it is VERY hot, but plenty of air conditioning, a great holiday
