    My wife and I are thinking of taking my family with 3 young children and our nanny to Jamaica for a 10 day trip this winter. Looking at small villa’s houses, was wondering if anyone has any advice on places to stay or avoid? We usually go to the USVI / BVI’s but wanted to avoid for this year due to hurricane damage.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    I spent 7 years in a row at Negril, Jamaica going to one of the all inclusives. Grand Lido,Hedonism II, Couples, Sandals. All were great & the 7 miles of beach in Negril is wonderful. Just remember Jamaica is a 3rd world country, so there is crime especially away from the resort areas. I never had a problem in Jamaica in any of my trips, but I did NOT go to Trenchtown, Kingston, St Ann's Parish. Wonderful country, not sure how bad they got hit during the hurricane....

    Not sure what you are looking for with the kids, BUT my wife & I stayed at Round Hill which gives you the option of a Villa & Butler OR you can stay in the main house which is more like a small Hotel. It has it's own beach & watersports HOWEVER it is very secluded, not much action at night etc.

    I love Ocho Rios. Stayed there many times.

    Stay away from Kingston. Fly into Montego Bay instead and have a driver take you to Ocho Rios.

    I've been to Jamaica lots and lots of times. I would recommend the west end of the island near Negril. I've seen a couple of houses for rented on the beach, but I'm not sure if they're there anymore. I would recommend staying in the Bloody Bay. It has some nice, newer, upscale resorts and it's really quiet and beautiful. Some resorts on seven mile beach near the small town of Negril party until 2am, so if you like sleeping, forget it. Also, stay away for Hedonism unless you like seeing a lot of naked people that shouldn't be naked. Also, stay away from any big city, including Montego Bay. My two-cents.
