I would go to Mexico instead - much better and safer. Found the locals in Jamaica all terrible. Bad service and the only thing they are interested in is dollar tips. I would never go back. Unsafe to go outside the hotel complex most of the time as we were just hassled constantly by locals wanting money.

I look at offensiveness in 2 ways.
If it was meant as a joke, even if you don't find it funny there is no reason to take offence.
If it was meant seriously and to offend. then the person isn't worth any of my energy and therefore what's the point in getting offended if that's what they want.
Which is why, in my whole life I have never been offended and never will be. Offence is a made up concept for the needy to get attention.

Stayed at Sandals in Montego Bay and would never return to Jamaica. Continually hassled by the locals who get quite abrasive. Never felt safe in Jamaica and was warned off going to Kingston Town as there were continual gang wars going on. Inside the resort was OK but we could have been anywhere. My vote goes to Aruba or Granada. Loved them both and Cuba is also a much better option.
Have a good holiday.

Went to Montego Bay two years ago, stayed at the Secrets Wild Orchid, above average food, good music, great snorkeling and sailing and SUPing. For me the locals have a massive chip on their shoulder, felt like they were trying to rip you off at every turn, or get one over on you. Based on that I didn't feel safe leaving the complex, despite a Jamaican mate saying it is safe.
Just got back from the Riviera Maya, been a few times up and down from Tulum to Playa, boring coastline, friendly staff in resorts, careful you don't get ripped off at petrol stations etc, Depends what you're looking for but Tulum more with nature, non resort and very laid back. A lot safer feel than Jamaica IMHO.
Barbados last year, very friendly and safe. Less Americans but more Brits which can be equally as annoying esp if you're stuck near a load of Yorkshire lads and lasses with their annoying little kids. Horses for courses I suppose.
Drove all around the island, made our own gin and vodka based drinks and just packed loads of ice, did loads of day day trips and found some lovely deserted beaches for snorkeling and swimming with turtles etc. stayed near St Lawrence Gap and went to a lot of west coast beaches. East coast pretty cool but roads are a fucking nightmare. People are really nice, much safer feel than Jamaica
St Lucia very nice, friendly and similar feel to Barbados.
Won't be going back to Jamaica in a hurry, next stop Cuba and the BVIs.
As for best place for kids, depends on age, but it's a bloody long way to go, water is warm and sun's out most of the time. Personally I'd take my kids on a holiday in Devon and Cornwall in the summer.

Personally it would be a waste of money taking my kids anywhere like that.. As long as they've got warm sunshine and a pool they are happy as Larry.. They wouldn't care less if they were in Jamaica, Bali or Cuba.. Sun is sun and a pool is a pool.
