I love Montego Bay, Jamaica. I've never had a problem with the locals. I've made some great friends and each time I go we hang out. I've taken family members and friends and all have a great time. People should take the time and learn about the island before going. Jamaicans are wonderful people and of course, they have bad people just like every other place in the world. Jamaica is beautiful and I can't get enough of it.
We stopped at montego bay on our cruise. I made the mistake of getting off of the ship. I still would'nt have felt safe if i had been carrying an assault rifle and wearing a bullet proof vest. If you feel like going to this port, try walking through downtown compton instead.. imagine the same scenery only alot cheaper.
This was our 3rd family cruise and over all, it was a terrific vacation. The cruise staff was wonderful and the ship was fantastic. This is a review of the Shore Excursion, Chukka 4x4 Adventure in Montego Bay, Jamaica. After viewing the in-room excursion videos and reading the provide excursion guides, my family decided on the Chukka 4x4 ...

What a Dump
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/21/09
I must have visited a different Montego Bay, because I was appalled by Montego Bay. Worst "tourist area" I've ever visited. The only saving grace was Dunn's River Falls, which is a must-do. Until you have to make your way through the gauntlet of pushy souvenier sellers between the falls and the parking lot. And yes, I was ...
I stayed on the hip strip in Montego Bay, and within the first hour I was offered Drugs, Prostitutes, and more drugs. Some from even the hotel staff. You have people that stand out and scout you outside of your hotel, and they come to you the moment you step on the hip strip and say hey we just met at your Glouchestire hotel, you don't ...

Beautiful beaches, nice people
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/08
I liked the beaches, the food, the service. Overall it was a great experience, the party scene is great 2, and there is a good selection of resorts. The city itself like anywhere else in the world, could be better but there are other great towns like Ocho Rios, Treasure Beach etc. that I have heard about, in terms of the stay though, I had a good time, and everything was as expected!

What an arm-pit
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/30/08
March, 2008. I've traveled all over the Caribbean. I've stayed in all-inclusives as well as simple hotels. I have visited Ochis and stayed at an all-inclusive in Negril. This vacation we stayed right on "Hip-Strip" at the Gloustershire Hotel about a 3-min drive from the air port in Montego-Bay. The Hotel was clean and the staff ...

Want to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/17/07
I loved waking up in the morning and looking at a island called Jamaica and a city called Montego Bay. The ocean and beach were just so beautiful that I went there everyday. And I couldn't get enough of the fresh smell of the air and the mango trees. It all made sense why I went there because it was beautiful and relaxing and quiet sometimes!! ...
The people were nice to a fault but in retrospect I cannot help but wonder if it is a show because of being a tourist destination. Montego Bay itself is a shabby town with extraordinarly high food (and some) drink prices in overrated restaurants. The ripoff begins getting the short distance from the airport to town and continues in the ...
the one thing i looked at in Jamaica is the food i would say if you like forne foods then you should go to Jamaica because the food is good,but it looks like its not but it is,i'm tell you something one you get there go to the beach its beautiful and while your there go to Florida for the weekend on your way back stay about 2-3 days because ...
