We went to Jamaica and stayed in Montego Bay, off of the "hip strip," which wasn't very hip at all. Honestly, the only way I'd go back was if I stayed at an all-inclusive resort where I could essentially take in all of the weather with none of the locals. We literally could not walk on any main roads for more than 5 feet before we were hassled by the locals - drugs, souvenirs, money, fruit, the whole thing. Who wants to go on a vacation where you don't feel comfortable walking down even a small stretch of street?
The food was unremarkable (even the chain restaurants, like Margaritaville, sucked) and it was difficult to travel really anywhere, like I said, without being hassled. However, the weather and the beach was spectacular. If you can do it and go to a Sandals or another all-inclusive, go for it. Otherwise, head elsewhere.
