Aside from these three areas, there are five lesser known areas that could potentially hold exciting adventures for your Jamaican vacation, but first let's talk about the reasons Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios have remained at the top of the best areas to stay in Jamaica for so many years!
Montego Bay is overall well-suited for families, as it has more attractions and family-friendly activities available.Negril is better for couples, especially those who love to just relax. The tourist-oriented nature of both locations makes either one great for first-time vacationers.
