Went to Jamaica 20+ years ago. one time only. Not going back because of:
the pushy drug salesmen at the airport and outside the bus windows as we moved through town to the resort; the cautions from the resort staff to not leave the grounds without a staff guide (the resort itself was beautiful).
But the winner was the group of armed guards stationed around the perimeter of the resort grounds.
Did they make me feel safer? Not sure, the need for them made me feel unsafe.
As I said 20+ years ago. Maybe (hopefully?) things have changed .
