    I would say Negril if you guys want to party hard…Ocho Rios if you want to do tour stuff…and never Montego Bay

    Either Negril or Ocho Rios. Montego Bay is pretty boring and you will have to drive to either Negril or Ochi anyways to participate in the larger, more fun, group activities. I prefer Ocho Rios myself because it is much less touristy than Negril. But I always recommend that people visit Negril for at least three days in their life, just for the experience and the seven mile beach. There are waaaay too many resorts that are AI that would suit your needs just fine. I suggest you check out to get an idea of the resorts that are in your price range and in the location of your choice. Have Fun!!

    Depends what you like to do. We always stay in Montego Bay. Everyone is going to have their opinion on where is best to stay. Montego Bay is a nice central point to tour the other places. You can visit Ocho Rios for the day and do all the tours. Or you can go to Negril for the day and hang out there. Both are about an hour and a half from Mobay.

    If beach is a big priority in your choice, then it would have to be Negril. Otherwise, each place has it’s good and bad points.

    All inclusive is a great way to do Jamaica. List the things you want to do AT the resort such as the water sports you like, on the grounds night life (think disco, piano bar etc.) and narrow the choice down a bit there first. You may find you just like one or two resorts so there is where you go. The resorts can and will set you up for the trips out for zip lining (a fav of our 20something kids) and all the other fun trips. But that cost extra no matter where you stay.
    Our family uses two resorts due to what is right there on the grounds. Breezes Runaway Bay for the water sports including the reef a quick wad into the sea. Take you own mask and snorkel. Lots of other fun stuff there too and the trip to Ocho is a short one.
    We do Hedonism III right around the bay as we are, well, hedonist. look it up… clothing OP resort where adults enjoy life fully. If your not sure you can get a free day pass from Breezes as they are both Super Clubs resorts.

    So, Runaway Bay area is my vote due to the ease of getting off to fun places and yet why do so? The fun is right at the right resort if you pick well.

    Just our view.
