      I went to Jamaica on my honeymoon. We were in Ocho Rios. It was wonderful, I believe the place was called tower isles.

      I'm headed to Jamaica in the Spring '13. We're doing an all-inclusive resort. It'll be my first all-inclusive trip & I'm really looking forward to it.

      All inclusive is the way to go. Take a nice size thermal mug. The cups are so small you'll drink both cups before you get back to your spot on the beach.

      I agree on the thermal mug. We bought a couple Bubba Kegs and always take them with us.
      Also, take a little cash with you. Tips are included in your package but a few dollars a day go a long way with the bartenders.

      We've been to the Riviera Maya twice, The Dominican Republic and are going to Aruba in a little less than a month. All inclusive is the only way to go.

      We go almost every year. Ocho Rios was beautiful and the resort sat up over the beach on a big hill, but the beach was pretty rocky. The best beach is in Negril, we have stayed at Breezes Grand Negril 4 times now and really enjoyed it. I like to dive and the dive group there is really good. The food is great also. We have also stayed in Runaway Bay 5 or six times at different resorts. I have been to Cancun and Aruba in the summer and both places were extremely windy which made being on the beach uncomfortable. I still enjoyed them, and the beaches are beautiful in both places. I have never been to the Dominican Isles, but I understand they are quite nice also. We picked Jamaica and Breezes because it is easy to get to, and if you work around on your dates it is really a good value.

      We were in Negril just three weeks ago.

      One of the girls on our trip has food allergies (i.e. seafood, peanuts, etc.)

      Is that a problem at an all-inclusive resort?

      I wouldn't think so, but I will ask one of my sons who went to Punta Cana and has a peanut allergy.

      I am allergic to seafood(shellfish) and almonds and I have been to two all-inclusive resorts without any issue. I ate jerk chicken and fries all week in Jamaica.

      We went to Ocho Rios in 2002. I believe the all inclusive resort was Couples at that time. Very nice. Do the Dunns River Falls tour! very cool! Love the jerk chicken.

      Been on a cruise and stopped in Jamaica for a day. I agree, do the Dunns River Falls tour. It was awesome.
