I'm at an all inclusive resort right now in Jamaica. The free drinks and food are cool, and it's in a nice location, but that's the only thing it has going for it.
There's a club, and it's all Americans/Canadians, but only Americans and Canadians id never hang out with in the states. The quality of women is even below average for the states. Jamaican girls don't seem to be a whole lot better. Shit, I'm stuck in Jamaica with only my family, and I still won't hang out with these Americans. Everyone I talk to thinks this all inclusive thing is awesome (even though you'd get far more of a cultural experience in NY or Miami). I'm trying to make friends with the workers. One of the guys I met is from Cuba and gave me a contact to hook up with next week when I get to cuba. Really though, this is the worst club I've ever been to (in the resort). From what I understand, there's a wedding party here that consists of police and FBI agents from NY. Definitely not my crowd. I hooked up with some locals and am trying to head to Negril tomorrow. If anyone can give me any pointers that would be great. But at this point, I feel like I'm in a "club" in Oklahoma. It's seriously that bad.
I feel like know the typical guy that reads this forum, and all I have to say is, NEVER do all inclusive, at least in Jamaica, couldn't imagine it being much better anywhere else.
It would be dope if you went with you girl for a couple days, and that's it. It's cool getting the free drinks and food, but after you factor everything into it, it would be better to rent an appartment and pay for your own food and alcohol. I literally feel like I would be having way more fun at a club back home, because not only is this club only Americans, but it's a bunch of prick cops (luck of the draw, but still, a wedding party from Minnesota probably wouldn't be much cooler). I haven't met a single like minded American, and I tried. All of them think this place is the shit, and probably will go home telling all their friends how cool their Jamaican experience was, even though you'd probably have more of a cultural experience in Miami.
I've been talking to some locals and have figured out a little bit, and hopefully I have better news to report tomorrow night. I plan on going to a local Jamaican club tomorrow. It seems like here in Jamaica, they really try and stick it to the foreigners. I paid $10 for a pack of smokes at the resort. I asked the receptionist if it would be cheaper in town, she said no, but she may just be talking shit. If not, it's only because I'm a tourist and they'll over charge me. There's no way Jamaicans are paying $10 a pack.
Bottom line, fuck all inclusive resorts. I would have never done it in the first place if if wasn't for my fam paying for it.
It's a beautiful spot and I'm having a good time with my family, I don't regret a minute of it (only because I'm spending some quality time with the fam, otherwise would have been pissed if Id booked it and payed myself), but if you're planning a solo trip,the type of trip most guys reading this forum want, don't do it! Sure you guys already knew this, but confirming, it sucks! It would though however be a great place to take your girl for a short weekend trip or a place to go to just get away from it all and relax. It is very tranquil, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm gonna be throwing down some data sheets. Next week I head to cuba for two weeks and after that the DR for two weeks. Last minute a friend of mine decided to join me in cuba. He's not a player, but none the less a really fun dude. I see lots of debauchery in my future. In DR I spend one week alone and another with 4 of my Vegas friends, and a couple are playboys. This will probably be highlight of my trip. I'll keep you guys posted!
