Long a top destination, the Caribbean’s largest English-speaking island has a dizzying array of hotels, inns, and villas to choose from, many considered among the world’s best. It’s also the birthplace of the all-inclusive resort – an option that simplifies dining and price decisions but delivers a gated, and sometimes isolated, experience from Jamaica’s problems – and pleasures. Finer lodgings, which start around $300 per night and skyrocket from there, tend to be clustered on the island’s north coast. Most of the island’s all-inclusives fall into the moderate category, with rooms available between $150 and $300 per night. Budget options for under $150 can be found island-wide and tend to offer a traditional, authentic Jamaican experience – just be sure to inquire about safety before booking (never, ever book a room in a budget hotel without a 24-hour security guard).
