Well now the majority of the hotels have using the filtration systems so, I think that you should be very well; however, If you ingestion the water and after that fix to bottled properly, I really don't think you would have any problem. I have been drinks in Jamaica, and I was feeling very well every time.

Best Regards,

Water in jamaica is very safe just like in Barbados. Ive never had a problem in the 19 years ive been going to Jamaica and living there as well.

Managing Director of the Water Resources Authority (WRA), Basil Fernandez, has expressed the view that Jamaica's water quality is among the best in the world.So I don't think so there is any problem related to drinking water..
Enjoy yourself!

Well, whenever I travel within my country or even outside, I always prefer carrying a water bottle. Also my experience with filtered water is good, so I would advice to use mineral water instead.

I don't know.....some "mineral water" can still be tainted by "stuff" in the ground. A good example in Jamaica is the locals not having proper plumbing and their waste going into the underground water supplies.

With "Mineral Water", I meant "Distilled" or bottled water, if that's what they say in your region. Still, we do get a lot of disease from impure water only.
Thanks for highlighting a point. I will consider that in my next journey.
