    The Hipstrip has several shops but they have the same items. We didn't visit any of the restaurants but this is the party area after a certain time of the day.

    Great vibes only thing was don’t ask for change if you’re not buying something bc they won’t give it to you. I wanted to give the fruit lady a tip but didn’t have change but the lady played me and said oh you want change but don’t wanna buy? Little did she know we probably would’ve came back but since she wanna act like that i just won’t support that establishment. Not in 2025. Her loss!

    Beautiful bronze sculptures and Fountain however the sculpture area was completely full of trash, could not get a decent photo due to the overwhelming amount of beggars and sales men.

    Only came over for the KFC. I recommend going as soon as they open to avoid any lines and wait time. We waited for 30 minutes to get through the drive through. The chicken was good! Worth $42 for 12 pieces absolutely not! Try something smaller. But the chicken was fried fresh and was pipping hot when we got it.

    The restroom was well kept. The lifeguards were very alert . The facility was well maintained. Devon house ice cream was the icing and the cake for us. Security was on top of their game.

    This fairly new shopping centre is home to the newest branch of Usain Bolt's Tracks and Records. Perched on the busy as we call it "Hip Strip" makes an ideal location for up and coming related tourism businesses. It is on the side of the beach yet away from the beach. It is a clean environment without much hassle and in time will become a prime commercial spot. Currently it houses courier, entertainment and inbond shops with a car rental office. It sure is a place great potential.

    Lovely and very interesting church. I recommend this stop. It doesn't take a long time, and it is free (although giving a donation is always good).

    After a nice afternoon of church and then touring in Montego Bay we enjoyed the craft store. The people are very pleasant even if you do not buy. Yes there is pressure but in the end the is "respect" as they call it.

    My fiancé and I went to the craft market to purchase from the locals we enjoyed getting to meet the owners and purchasing from them however be prepared to be pressured to purchase from them all because they want your business my fiancé was prepared to purchase something from them all as he wanted to sow into the locals. The prices weren’t cheap so don’t go expecting deep discounts however we enjoyed our experience.

    We saw the sign out on the road saying there was a Jamaican restaurant so we turned in to check it out. There are a lot of vacant stores. We couldn't find the restaurant and it looked a little scary so we left. Later we made reservations for massage and the massage place turned out to be on the bay side of the shopping center and very lovely but I never would have found it if Claudette hadn't come out to the parking lot to greet us.

    After being harassed in most shops in Montego Bay it was a pleasure to meet Sam and Tamara (hope I've got that right!) and feel happy to browse.
    They are engaging ,friendly and make it a joy to be in the store.
    Speaking to both is a great experience and would not hesitate to return. Thank you and all the best.

    Went here to check out some souvenirs, they had ok prices, but the alcohol and cigars seemed to be overpriced. The staff was pleasant. The selection was very good. We managed to get what we needed.

    This a warning not about the centre as not a lot there.The warning is about the Taxis.
    we arrived on a cruise and was told to take a taxi to town,we walked out to the taxi rank and was directed to a mini bus,I asked the guide if this was for town and was told yes man.Once the bus was full we moved off and was told by the guide her name was a long one so call her K and the driver was nicknamed pony tail.before we had travelled out of site of the ship she was trying to sell extra trip but most of the bus wanted the beach and about 6 of us wanted the town.She tried to tell us that she was not allowed to take us there by the tourist board and she went straight to the beach and said this is were we all got off and there was shops down the road.I said we wished to see the town and we had a stand up argument.when she realised that we was not getting off we were taken to the town centre.The reason that she wanted all passengers in one spot was so she could sell a extra trip when they returned ,which she did selling a r/t trip via a view for 20 dollars instead of 7.The con being that on a full bus even those that do not want to go will pay,Its one of the oldest con in the book.We walked back to the ship after being told by a town taxi the fare was 2000 dollars.O well one place not to go back to.

    Outstanding experience and over the top service. Girish and his team were great in helping me select the perfect timepiece with no pressure and lots of great advice. I got the watch I wanted at a great price and they even helped me register the warranty. Will definitely buy more from them in the future.

    This is the "go to" place for jewelry and watches. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have great brands and their prices are fair. They put a customer under no pressure to buy and only want to sell you something they feel suits the customer. They are honest and the inventory is some of the best. If you buy from them you can count on service even several years after the purchase. My wife had a battery changed on a watch we purchased from them over ten years ago - no problem and no charge. They were genuinely happy to provide the replacement battery. I don't know of any shop that beats that service
