I have been thinking about moving to jamaica, i want to live near the peaceful water and i thought montego bay sounded like the best choice, but i could use a more experienced 2nd opinion. i would like to know how much it generally costs for a 2 br home or appt, monthly groceries, electricity and water, transportation, (would it be more expensive to have my car shipped than to buy a new one on the island?) and most importantly, crime rates? where is the safest most pleasant place to live in jamaica? alot of questions i know, thank you in advance this information would be VERY helpful!

Has anyone been to Montego Bay Jamaica recently? What are the fun things to do there? Is it safe over there(for tourists with little kids)? Thanks

Alright people, this is my first post, but I want the WHOLE truth. I'm looking to go with my GF to Jamaica in a few months during the summer. (Might be a factor in your opinions). That being said, there have been two places that catch my attention; Negril and Montego Bay. Which is better? All inclusive or not? What I'm looking for is a variety of things: 1. Laid back beaches 2. Great food 3. great bars 4. Friendly people 5. Things to do (plantation tours, walks, etc.) 6. Shopping. Now when it comes to the shopping, I would like to think that there are markets where crafts are made as i would like to bring back a few souvenirs. I know there will be people that are persistent and will try to get money out of me; that isn't a problem, i can handle that. I've very wise with my money.(I'd like to think so :) Anyways, some more questions. How safe are these two cities? What dishes should i try? Alcoholic drinks? I would like to do things that are off the beaten path, but at the same time, safety is important to me. I can defend myself, but i'm not so sure about her. However we are planning on going with another couple, but lets assume that they aren't coming. (because my friend is a flake sometimes lol).How is the exchange rate? (can i get a lot of J$ for less USD?) Are the taxi's safe? How much would it cost to get from montego bay to negril? Is there any MUST SEE/DO things? I'd love to know. I can't really think of anything else, but please, if there is ANYTHING i should know, don't hesitate to ask/tell me! I'd like to hear from native Jamaicans AND tourists to see both sides, you know? Thanks for you time and all that good stuff!!!

I will be going to Montego Bay, Jamaica sometime in (probably)April. I will be staying in the Holiday Inn Resort. I would like any advice anyone has because I have never been there before and I do not want to miss out on anything fun or any sites that I need to see. Also, I've never been on a plane... I know theres not alot of advise to give there. . .but if you can think of anything let me know. Any input is great! Thanks everyone!!

I was wondering if anyone has been to Sandals in Montego Bay, Jamaica and if you can hear the air planes flying over at night and what time do they start and stop, how loud are they and will they disturb your sleep at alll? How low are they and how many miles away is the air port? Let me know, thank you!!! ~Sarah :)
