What I do notice is that people who act like prissy little assholes who think everybody is out to scam them, get fucked over. If you don't step outside of your hotel you'll be missing the best part of Jamaica.
You're not in fucking Kingston, and you're not walking down Maxfield Avenue, the area is safe, although the problem with Montego Bay is it's just too touristy, and to be honest, a little naff. Make sure you get out and travel around the island (rent a car), go interesting places, try Treasure Beach, or Port Antonio, go somewhere you're not surrounded by people too scared to leave their fucking compound.

Watch yourself leaving the resort area. I went to negril with a few friends, decent nugs, cheap shrooms, but watch yaself...outside the resort its like a 3rd world country.
a guy from our hotel that was hooking us up all week told us about a concert going on in kingston. He made it sound like it was kinda like a tourist event. The guy from the hotel didn't have a car and asked us if he could ride up there in the taxi with us, i wasn't too keen on going but my friends were like he seems cool so we went.
So that night we head out, now the dude said it was like 40 or 50 miles to Kingston so im thinking like we'll just jump on the highway and be there in under an hour....yeah right! i don't think we drove on a paved road. We drove thru a fucking jungle on dirt roads, thru small cities that had run down buildings, cars on fire, guys walking around with machine guns..it wasn't pretty.
So we end up at this concert...there was like 20,000 Jamaicans there, now im not talkin like ratsa men type but strait fucking THUGS. Me and my friends were literally the ONLY white people there.
When we entered into the place there were these big Steel barrel's filled with what looked like metal and wood but when i walked closer to see what it was those barrel's were full of knives, shanks, and bats the security at the show were pulling off people.
During the whole nite these little thugs would run up and put what looked like crushed up soap in our hands and say gimme $200.00, non stop....this shit was a nightmare. I swear i thought i was gonna die there.
