Ocho rios safety
I have traveled to Ocho Rios 20 times in the past 23 years. I have gone with just my husband and in groups of friends and family of 25. Of all the trips i have felt "unsafe" once. My g/f and I have been downtown at night alone and had no problems. I suggest one uses common sense. The Jamaican people as a whole want tourists. When my hubby and I ( our first trip) were told that this guy would shows us some interesting places to take pictures we had to walk with him past the flea market. The locals yelled out he was a "bad man" we excused ourselves and learned from it. I have never had anything taken from my room at the resort. ( It's called a safe people...get one) Act as if you're in a large city anywhere else in the world. Take precautions. Also know...prices go up when the cruise ships come into any island. Stay away from the markets on those days or show them your hotel bracelet....
