You might want to consider a private villa, they are typically less
expensive than a resort and you get a whole lot more...many with private
pools and staff. Check out some of the internet sites, there's scads. I
would not take children to Jamaica, in fact I wouldn't recommend adults go
there unless you like heavy security and/or are happy with staying within
your confines....bad crime. Bahamas would be better, Nassau and Freeport
are the tourist centers however the out islands such as Eleuthra, Abaco, etc
are much more quiet and laid back.
