The culture capital of Jamaica. Probably the best airport to fly into, Kingston hasn't much in the way of tourist friendly anything, so mo-bay for your sun and fun resorts. Lots of tours collect you from your hotel all across the north coast so it doesn't really matter where you are. I highly recommend a canopy tour (on brochures found in most good hotels) and the trip to Bob Marley's home and grave on Mount Zion, Nine mile. And remember to try 'Jerked chicken' and 'acai and salt fish' two jamaican specialities. Jamaica is not gay friendly, so be warned.

Do not try and be flash and brash with the local, be yourself and do not boast about what you have, that will annoy them and put you at a higher risk of getting robbed. I did not have any problem with this myself but I have heard that you are constantly asked to buy drugs. The local crafters will try and get you to buy there products and can be insistent. Thee is so much to do, water sports, louging on the beach, treking, biking drinking, eating, you name it. The Jamaicans like to deal in American dollars, do not even bother brining any of their own currency. In the tourist areas you will pay for thing, but haggling is okay to do. The food is wonderful, very fresh and tasty. The local food shacks or even the restaurants are wonderful. There are so many things you can see, from Dunns River to snorkelling. There is something here for everybody. You can hire a car or take a taxi, the taxi's can be expensive and the roads are not the best. Shorts and T-shirt all the way. Women travellers may get hassled by the men, but not in a dangerous way. Jamaicans love to party, any place, any where any time

The night life is quite nice. it has by-the-sea bars with wicked sounds from the island

If you're traveling to the north shores of Jamaica you're probably staying in an all-inclusive resort. These are great; but the real Jamaica is outside of these overindulging oases.
I suggest going downtown Montego Bay (something few others will suggest). I highly recommend you make this trip during the day, however. Be prepared to get offers from locals to "give you directions" and sell you some "herbs". Explore the shops and the local stores.
It's a unique experience you can brag about to your cohorts back at the resort.

I went here for my B-day and mothers day all in one the BEST gunja not to mention 24 buffey and all the nude activitys (ADULT ONLY) ;) A NOT SO BAD PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM UR CELLPHONE cant accept calls from the u.states...Ahhhhhhh

Take the zipline tour that's offered at just about all the hotels! They come get you and keep you entertained all the way there and back - don't answer "yes" just say "yeah mon!" Don't forget the bug spray, buy it at home where it's cheaper before you go...
