It's a big family trip and some are now worried. Any thoughts? Would you go? We're staying at a luxury resort 15 mins from the airport. We'll be in a 8 bedroom villa on a gated property that has lots of villas and restaurants, if that matters. Also, I was fine when it was a level 2 when I know some on this board are not, so less interested in the opinions of those who would never go to Jamaica. We can cancel the villa and probably pay a penalty to change flights, but I worry about finding another location. We booked this a long time ago to lock in a good price. Struggling to decide what to do. Opinions appreciated!

No, book something in Florida. I like Amelia Island but anywhere in Florida is good. Another option is the Georgia and South Carolina beaches.

I'd also take a look at Alabama, Mobile and the Alabama beaches. I have not been there but would like to go.

Texas beaches would also be great to visit.

I was just in Jamaica over winter break and it was completely fine safety wise. That being said, I think Jamaica is completely fine and wouldn’t recommend going there again. I think there are much nicer places to visit.

PP who mentioned being done with turks and caicos - why? Is so quiet there.

The Bob Marley movie is about to come out next week. Demand for Jamaica will go up.
