Jamaica-anyone been? Good hotel recommendations?

[MarshmallowFarm]

Would really appreciate any info from people who have been. We are looking at various Thomson all-inclusive packages for Riu hotels/trelawny/grand Palladium etc. we are a family of four with two teenagers.

Thanks in advance!

Have you been already? It's just that this is already from June, so you may have gone during the summer holidays.

In case not, I have been loads of times to Jamaica. I love it.

With teenagers I would go to Negril. 7 mile beach and lots to do, people watch, walk, swim, hang out with the locals, cliff diving at Ricks for sunset, dance to reggae under the stars. Etc etc.

Met a Canadian there who goes regularly, last summer he took his two young teenage children with him. He said they had a whale of a time hanging out with the rastas on the beach.

If you want recommendations for hotels let me know.
