"Downtown Shopping" Jamaica Tourist Trap Tip by onestepaway

I am not going to say anything bad about the great people of Jamaica, what I will say, is that in town everything I bought was cheaper back at the resort. I mean it, from the spices to the knick knacks you take back to your family and friends, were cheaper at the resort. I lost about $30.00 in town buying their same exact items for way more money. Just the spice, I bought was four dollars higher in town! Buy everything you can at the airport before you leave, liquor too!!!!!

Unique Suggestions: If you stay at the resort and you want to buy something, I say til you go to the airposrt if you have time to kill, buy all your liquor there too, we read this but I could gather it until we ended up being mad we bought anything from in town or our resort. Please, if you have time, shop at the airport, if you want to save, before I left, I lost about $100.00 in buying elsewhere.

Fun Alternatives: Please just buy what you want while you are out, if you think you cannot live without, like the sweathsirt jacket in town was a great buy, but the knick knacks not so much, the liquor from the resort, was far better at the airport. The liquor at the airport is cheaper and in bigger bottles, its so worth it!!!!
