“information and other people experiences can help others to be a victim!!!” Do you mean the info can help others so they ARE NOT A VICTIM?

I’ve never once had food poisoning in Jamaica but got it from my neighbor’s cooking and from a fast food place 5 miles from my house….just saying there is nothing wrong with food prep in Jamaica. Also, reading a half dozen or so Jamaica forums for the past few years I can’t recall it being talked about ONCE.

When you spend money to go on a vacation, the last thing you want is problems such as food poisoning or getting robbed. The point is that you might not have the resources to get around and to help yourself because your not from Jamaica. People know how to get help in their country, but when your a visitor in someones country, things are different. It was a tourist who was there to get married that died of food poisoning…therefore more tourist can be effected. it’s something called awareness, information and other people experiences can help others to be a victim!!!

WOW….you were robbed in Jamaica so were my friends I also heard that a lot of people get food poisoning and they had a case were someone actually died. Jamaica is really bad my friends went there, and told me that there hotel room was broken into, all their belongings were taken. It seems to be an ongoing problem. If someone gave me a trip to Jamaica for free I would never go!!

Jamaica is NOT SAFE. I was robbed of all my belongings, if anything happens to you on Jamaican soil no one cares the government won’t help you or get involved.

I was promised clothes and shoes and compensation, but nothing happen. they just care about getting there tourism up and it’s all about numbers. The robbery was reported to the police, jamaican tourist board and the ministry of tourism.

NO one HELP NO one cares!!! Please be careful if you go to Jamaica. Tourist are targeted and followed from the airports and then robbed. I am just thankful I have my life.

Jamaica no problem….yeah right there is a lot of problems and thieves there.

Once you go, you know NEVER TO RETURN
