I just got back from Jamaica on a cruise. Went to Montego Bay and toured all the way to Negril and I have to say that the country for the most part is a dump! Yes the beaches are nice and the water falls are breath taking but the country side and the towns are basically shanties towns. We spent the day at Jimmy Buffett's Margaretville and though it was nice- we were constantly harassed by the peddlers. After many- “no thank yous”- they stood there all day just staring at us hoping we would change our mind. This was very uncomfortable for us. The tour guides were nice and helpful but just beware that most of the country is truly 3rd world and you will get approached by the peddlers often at all the beaches. Good luck!
