Yes, there are tough places all over but not a great reason to not get a coffee and watch the people go by. I have never regretted getting out of the resort for a day or two and always have a story to tell when I get back. Thanks for reading. devin I know people who live in Jamaica, and it just isn’t that bad. Yes, there are tough places all over but not a great reason to not get a coffee and watch the people go by.

The last time I stayed in a shared dorm a 19-year-old, who could not hold his liquor, thought man in the bunk below me was a toilet. The man in the bottom bunk was 72 from Latvia. I never want to be that man in the bottom bunk devin Hey Amy,

It is sad but true the many people who don't get off the resorts on their vacations. I don't think people really understand what they're missing. Experiencing culture is one of the best things about visiting a new place. Even if you want to sit and lounge at the resort everyday, there should at lease be a couple days of exploring the towns around you while you are away. I here the same thing about Jamaica all the time. People think it's so dangerous that they CAN'T leave the resort. I mean come on! I know there are obviously places you should avoid, but it's not like you are gonna get robbed and kidnapped the second you step out of the resort. I've even heard from friends who have gone that the resorts even recommend they do not go outside the compound. Sad that people are too naive to see that the resorts say those kind of things because they want you to stay and spend your money there! Anyway, again I loved the article. And hopefully more people will start to explore the world around them:) Happy Travels:) Love the article! It is sad but true the many people who don’t get off the resorts on their vacations.

I mean, that I like staying in resorts as an accommodation option, not like you say to stay there all the time. I just realised my comment doesn’t really make sense.

Now, (must be a sign of age on my part) I don't mind the idea for exactly the same reasons you list here. I find that my expectations for accommodation has increased as I age, and the thought of staying in share dorms are reserved only for when I am absolutely penniless (which hopefully will be never!)
