 I never understood the appeal of Jamaica.  It is the worst compare to other places in the Caribbean.  If OP wants to be boxed off on a resort, then Jamaica is the place.

When I ventured off the resort in Jamaica the hustlers were extremely overbearing.  I had hustlers trying to sell me everything from drugs, to cheap trinkets, and some (men) were sexually aggressive towards me.   Jamaica is a different world once you step outside of the resorts.   I bought some handmade items from a lady that I met at a market.  However, some of the other women were upset that I didn't buy anything from them.  The lady I purchased items for got into a nasty verbal exchange with some of the women and it proceeded into a fight.  When the staff at my resort told me not to step off the resort and that the area was not safe I should have listened to them.   My resort had armed guards.  Also, the days I left for excursions were really interesting.  In quite a few places some of the locals started to throw things at our tour bus.  It was like the locals were upset that tourists were visiting.  Jamaica felt like a hostile place.  The resort was awesome and the staff were nice.  However, I felt like a prisoner to the resort because things were not as nice for travelers who like to explore things outside of the resort compound.     [/quote]
