Two of my best friends are getting married and are having a destination wedding in Jamaica at the Ocho Rios (Sandals) resort.
I figure 3 days wasn't enough, so I extended to 5 with the intention of doing some diving and relaxing. Curious what to expect in terms of diving, I did a search on Ocho and what I got back was that an inland rock quarry would be more exciting and safer. What i get from the threads is that as soon as I set foot on the island I'm going to be raped and robbed.
I know that bad news travels faster than good news, but seriously - my parents had their honeymoon in Jamaica in the 1960's and the story hadn't changed. I basically don't have a choice of where I'm staying so changing locales isn't an option, but I seriously need a positive review of this place before I cancel. I'm really apprehensive right now of spending $2000 and finding out that I'm spending my vacation in a dump where everyone is surly, rude and is looking to rob you at every turn.
