went there for spring break a few years ago....i stayed right across from margaritaville....forget the name of the place. I'm not sure if it is different during the non spring break season but when i was there you couldn't go 2 feet without someone offering you any and every drug there is.
I'm not really into smokin the ganja but being in jamaica i pretty much felt obligated, and i will say it was pretty good stuff...
also i was in negril and i just realized that your place is in montego bay....from what i heard down there montego bay is a much nicer vacation spot....where negril is more of the party spot
either way have a good time and take some pics.....there are some great sunsets down there

yep i wouldnt wander to far from the resort/touristy areas....they carry macheddys(sp?) around like it's no big deal
you hafta get the jerk chicken from the guys in the side of the road.....it's not great but its just one of those things you should try if you're in jamaica

The resort will likely have jerk chicken.
The people I met there were all nice and respectful people. I stayed in Trelawny, which is not the biggest hotspot for tourists, but they do have a few resorts there.
Look at Jamaica like you would the US....crime tends to be higher in the bigger cities. I met some really nice locals while I was there.
The smoke? Well, I won't say it was the greatest I've ever had, but it was pretty cheap. I think it was something like $35-40 for a half ounce.
When out shopping, the people will be a little pushy about getting you into their shop. However, after browsing around a bit inside, they don't twist your arm to buy something. A simple, "Thanks for letting me look at your things" got me out of every shop I went to.
Overall, I loved it...better than Mexico.

I just got back from Jamaica it isn't bad at all. Haggle on the prices of shit they need the money and want the business. If you are on a resort you shouldn't need your wallet. The locals were cool with me.
