I just ended a 2 week holiday in Jamaica, and have been there a couple of times before, but this time was the best because I went to the capital, Kingston and the nearby Blue Mountains. This data sheet will focus on those areas as well as Ocho Rios and Jamaica's second biggest city, Montego Bay.
There was another thread on here titled "Jamaica" but I can't find it using the search function, it had some excellent information, especially about Jamaican culture, Roosh, can you dig it up?
Anyway, I really can't believe that theres not more info on Ja here, especially considering its close proximity to the USA (1.5 hrs from Fort Lauderdale), and cheap flights from the states (I flew Spirit twice) and Air Canada (I flew return, DIRECT from Calgary for $250 all in!). And its an English speaking country with such strong, internationally well known culture: Bob Marley, Rastafari culture, dance hall, calypso, ska, reggae, Usain Bolt, food, etc. However, as was stated on the other thread, I wouldn't recommend going there specifically to game local women, DR is probably better, that being said, I do really like Jamaican chicks!
So, I'll start with Mo Bay: This is where many resort type travelers land in Ja and there are some REALLY nice ones in the area, but I didn't stay at any, I stayed at a decent hostel/guest house in a "middle class" Mo Bay neighbourhood.
This place was CRAWLING with many young, single travelers from all over the world, but especially Canadian, German and Japanese (the two latter have big dance hall scenes). I stayed there for two weeks in a nice private room with a queen bed, A/C, WI-FI for $50/night, the hostel beds were $20. Great place to meet other travelers and go to Negril, Ocho Rios, etc. Also, the hostel employs local guys to take tourists out to party, these guys can get you WHATEVER you're looking for and at decent prices. The only draw back is that this place is a bit far from the party scene 5-10 minutes, you'll have to take a taxi. Look up: Bethel Court Guest House on face book and check out the pics.
In Mo Bay the partying is centred along the HIP STRIP, a street of about 2 kms filled with tourist shops, bars, restaurants, etc. Parts of it are a bit run down, but this is where you will go out to party. If you want american style pub food (with the corresponding prices), check out the Twisted Kilt Irish Pub or across the street at the Jamaican Bob sled Cafe. Myself, I ate A LOT of street food like jerk chicken, curry goat, conch soup, etc. This area is totally SAFE, the only trouble you will run into is being annoyed by some pushy vendors or taxis driver, just say no thanks, respect mon and keep going. Also, the government employs tourist police in all tourist areas in Ja that I went, you'll see them in their cheesy white uniforms, they work from 8am til 2am.
The two best night clubs in Mo Bay are Margaritaville (thursdays, saturdays) and Pier One (Friday), the crowd is a decent mix of tourists and locals, depending on the crowd, the music will be top 40 shit with a bit of dance hall. If you want a real dance hall experience, these aren't the right places, although I did see Bounty Killer perform at Mville last winter, mint show! There's also Coral Cliff Casino across from Mville, expensive but more up scale, if you're in town during the week, the Karaoke on Monday night is worth it, really. Also, after partying your ass off on Saturday night, you can go to Cornwall Beach on Sunday after noon where they have a good beach party with volley-ball, dance hall djs and for $1000J, all-you-can-drink rum! Another party venue is out in Iron Shore, an upscale part of town about 10 minutes drive from the Hip Strip, they had a big dance hall party there one weekend but I went to Kingston instead.
My favorite area to hang out before these clubs is up at Rehab bar, right beside the Wexford hotel and across the street from a newly refurbished brilliant park on the water. Rehab has a bunch of pool tables where you can get to know some locals, theres some good street food outside and its located next to another club called Tongue and Groove (never went in) and the Club Moods, which brings up another topic:
JAMAICAN STRIP CLUBS: not the best I've ever been to, but then again after spending the summer of 01' studying in Montreal, I have pretty high standards! Moods is fairly small and there are always more than one stripper on stage shaking their asses, all black of course. Bring a stack of $50 and $100 Ja bills ($0.60 and $1.20 USD) to tip strippers, also, if you want cheap lap dances, just approach one of the strippers sitting at the bar and say "come wine pon me", I had a surreal moment by doing this: I'm sitting on a stool at the bar, big booty J'can girl grinding on my crotch, red stripe in left hand, big fatty in the other (yes you can openly smoke inside here), I look ahead and theres 6 gyals shakin it on stage, to my left and right are flat screen tv's on the wall playing black porn, LOL! Also, its fun to chill outside to drink and smoke and raz up the hookers, who will come up and grab your cock and try to get you to go to the park across the street for a $20 BJ. Also, at Moods in Mo Bay and Shades in Ocho Rios, they each have a weekly "FREAKY NIGHT", where I saw a midget with a pecker on him the size of a wiffle ball bat pounding two strippers!
Anyway, thats about it for Mo Bay, a decent place to spend a few days but definitely not the best that Jamaica has to offer, and neither is Ocho Rios, really. Ocho Rios is a shitty little town that caters to the cruise ship crowd and all -inclusive resort types, they take day trips to Dunn's River Falls (I did it and I thought it was decent, loads of hot women) or go swimming with dolphins. Night life is so-so, theres a Margaritaville there and also a local club called Amnesia, I left after paying a $500J entrance fee and $400 for a red stripe, bambclaat, it was a bit dead there on a Thursday. Oceans 11 was another good place for karaoke on Tuesday night, mixed aged crowd, a bit upscale middle class.
Then I ended up in Kingston. This city has a terrible reputation as a 3rd world shit hole and I was fully expecting to see yardies running around shooting at each other, well I was wrong. I even went to Tivoli Gardens, and although it was really rough, it wasn't too bad. What really impressed me there was: Emancipation Park, Devon House and the Bob Marley museum, this girl took me to a huge out door water fight/carnival/dance hall party, $1200J entrance and it was all-you-can-drink rum!!!
I found a nice apartment to rent on airbnb.com for 4 days in New Kingston (Stay in this area for sure), it was $70 and had a/c wi-fi, kitchen,etc. The best places to stay, logistics wise would be the Pegasus or Wyndham, which are within walking distance to all the best clubs.
Friday night: went to Escape 24/7 around midnight, place got bumping by 2 and went til about 4:30-5. I was the only white guy there and all they played was dance hall, it was pretty good but a bit small and too laid back for my taste.
Saturday night: went to THE BEST CLUB IN JAMAICA, Quad. its four levels with a strip club in the basement, entrance and pub style place on ground level, big horse shoe shaped club on 3rd floor and an upscale lounge on top. This is where the upscale Jamaicans go, lots of luxury cars outside and its where Beenie Man filmed his video I'm okay/rum and red ball (check it out on youtube). The place filled up around 1 and went til after 4, they played mostly dance hall, I have never seen so many hot black women in my life, good times! the entrance fee varied depending on how many floors you wanted to visit, of course, I got the most expensive bracelet $3000 Ja, about $36 USD!
I then spent 3 days in the Blue Mountains, which are amazing! Lots of ganja smoking and java drinking, not a lot of partying, I took a local girl up there and we shagged like rabbits and did some hiking and visited a coffee plantation. If you really like coffee like me, a visit to the mountains is totally worth it, but good Blue Mountain coffee is a bit hard to find outside of Kingston, most places will serve you instant! My first time in Mo Bay I complained that I couldn't find a cafe that sells this world famous coffee anywhere in town, well there is one now, right beside Coral Cliff Casino.
anyway, I'll continue this sheet with some more info about gaming women there at a later time, hope this is good info for you guys!
