Jamaica on the whole is NOT SAFE. Only place that I swore will NEVER return to. When there on a ship a few years back, some idiots tried to get my wife and I down an alley, after following us for blocks. We finally jumped in a passing cab and went directly back to the ship. I am used to ''slum areas'' in my line of work, but never in my life felt so unsafe as I did for that short time on Jamaica.
