Jamaica or Puerto Rico?

Question

Me and some friends are planning on going on vacation this summer, but can't decide where to go? We want to go somewhere with nice, beautiful beaches, and a lot of fun stuff to do, so I figured San Juan, Puerto Rico and Montego Bay, Jamaica, were some pretty good places.

Which is better, in your opinion? And which is cheaper... if anyone knows?

Answer 1

I would say Jamaica all the way, Jamaica has everything that you are looking for and its way cheaper. Jamaicans are friendly and fun to be around and have alot of places to go partying.

Answer 2

Jamaica has a lot to do there, the people who claim there is nothing to do are lame and boring. We have a lot of nice all-inclusive resorts, awesome craft markets and nice parties that are happening all year round.

Check out www.listjamaica.com/hotels for a comprehensive list of resorts and links to their websites.

The following is a link on activities to do in Jamaica.

These things are only a few. I strongly recommend that you spend a day at YS falls. very nice experiences may be had there. It was even featured on an episode of Girls NextDoor.

Answer 3

JAMAICA,..........Ni-grille,... PR is  ( just there ) kind of desperate for tourism. Besides it's the USA and everything is very expensive BC it all has to be imported,,,,ex RUM!! :-)The beaches are only nice if you take a taxi to them. OR a cat/boat trip. Down Town (Old San Juan) is full of tourist c**p. The food is awful and the mainlands are old Americans,..........or ???? u fill in the blanks.

Jamaica has better island culture and the people are Island friendly. The seafood is fresh and GREAT!!!

2thumbs up 4 Jamaica!! HAVE A BLAST

Answer 4

jamaica!!! definately!!! But if your looking for nice beaches i recommend Negril instead of Montego. The locals are pushy but just say no thanks nicely and walk away. Youll have a great time!

Answer 5

Well Ive been to Montego Bay and they have the all enclusive resorts there, where you get everything all in one price. Its BEAUTIFUL! The whitest beaches you will ever see. Im going back this August. But hey thats my opinion right lol. Good luck!!!

You have alot to do outside the resorts and trust me its NOT scary! Ive been there 5 times

Answer 6

I have been to both places & Jamaica cost less but the People in Jamaica are pushy. From drugs to nick nacks they sale on the street.Puerto rico is about as high on cost as New York city but it is America there.If you go to Jamaica I would stay at a Sandels resort it is allinclusive & the beaches are private. My wife& I loved it there but it was also away from the pushy market place. Fun jet has some good deals.Also you can take some cheap cruise from Puerto Rico.

Answer 7

Jamaica is definately better. and for all u pple who be dissing and tlkn bout being kidnapped is rubish!!! People jus love to generalize because of what they see on bbc but lemie tell u this ur safer in jamaica than u are in  America i can tell u that much we dont have serial killers and psychos that kill for no reason. Tourist areas are reletively safe and trust me u wont be bored as long as u plan ur vacation well. That idiot who said his father had nothing to do was ignorant because there are so many sights to see beaches to visit parties to go etc. As for jamaicans being pushy.....its the first ive heard that because tourists normally cnt get enuff of what we jamaicans heav to offer. Overall if u want a new exciting experience come to jamaica its cheaper and ull have a great time\

Answer 8

ive been to puerto rico sveral times and i love it, it is beautiful, jamaica is also beautiful but seriously dangerous for tourist, use caution in jamaica and dont leave resort area.

Answer 9

PUERTO RICO ALL THE WAY. You cant really travel off the resorts in jamaica they can get scary.

PR is very safe.

Answer 10

If you are from America then go to Jamaica. Puerto Rico is too Americanize even though they are a US commonwealth. Go see and learn Jamaica's rich and unique culture. While there stop and faith's pen and eat some jerk chicken.

But I always enjoy Ocho Rios than Montego Bay. You have more activities to do in Ocho Rios.

Answer 11

Jamaica Negril it's beautiful there the spring bling there is amazing. The food is wonderful, you learn a lot of their culture, entertainment. Don't foreget to rent a car it would be much easy to get around.

Answer 12

PUERTOOOOO RICOOO

Answer 13

Obviously Puerto Rico. If you want to get fun and don't be kidnapped in the process you should go to PR. However, if you want to take the chance of criminality go to Jamaica where is nothing to do except the hotel.

Answer 14

Montego Bay , Jamaica ! Lots to do ! Trust me. It all depends on when you buy the ticket. Jamaican people make you feel so friendly and welcome. When your picking a airline go with Air Jamaica , they give you food and the flight attendants are very nice and friendly !

Reasons Why You Should Go :

1. Jamaica is beautiful !

2. Clear blue water !

3. Beautiful white sand !

4. Negril is the #1 Party Spot !

5. Ocho Rios has all the funnest activities [ ex. you can swim with dolphins, go water horse riding..etc. ]

6. Rick's Cafe in Negril where you can go cliff diving into the beautiful water. It is very safe and fun. You don't dive into the ocean you just dive into a little part of the water.

7. Dunns River Falls in Ocho Rios ! The most famous water fall ever ! It is very beautiful ! It is a must go !

8. Hottest parties ! Music is nice !

9. And you said you want lots of fun stuff to do , Jamaica is it ! You and your friends will have a blast !

10. The best thing about Jamaica is that there are Mixed Jamaicans, Indian Jamaicans, Spanish Jamaicans, Chinese Jamaicans, Japanese Jamaicans..etc. But Jamaicans all come together as one ! There basically just Jamaicans !

You will never feel left out and unloved. You and your friends will definitely and undoubtedly have a good time.

Answer 15

My Dad when to Montego Bay, Jamaica for his honeymoon and said he did not like it at all... He said there was really nothing to do but stay in the resort. So I would stick with San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Have you thought about going to Hawaii?

I went to Maui and it was Beautiful.
