I agree about Jamaica so if you need some clues let me know. My wife and I
have been traveling there for a few decades now and have been from Negril to
MoBay to Orcho Rios to Port Antonio in large and small hotels. We go mostly
off season due to or work schedule but also have been there during all the
holidays. We go many times with no reservations other than the first night
at MO Bay then taxi on to points unknown never having a bad experiance in
over 20 years.
