Is Jamaica safe for two single women traveling alone?

I have been in Jamaica and it has a high crime rate. If you are going straight to a resort and plan on staying there the duration of your stay, then I say you'll probably be fine. But if you are adventurous and plan on sightseeing, then I highly do not recommend that. We stayed at our resort all week. We saw way too much just walking out of the airport. People will ask you to buy drugs right out the doors of the airport.


Farnsworth
As in any foreign country, should any emergency situation arise, especially at the domestic level, it is advised to immediately contact your government's embassy or consulate. Governments usually advise travellers staying in the country for an extended period of time to notify their embassy or consulate so they can be contacted in the case of emergency.

Note that homosexuality is not generally considered acceptable in Jamaica, and can lead to violence. Do not display affection to people of the same sex in public - Jamaica is not a country renowned for its tolerance for homosexuality.

Marijuana, although cheap, plentiful and powerful, is illegal on the island.

If in need of police, dial 119.

Also, it is best to avoid certain parts of the island at night. Rural areas of the island are generally safe, but inner-city parts of the island such as some neighborhoods in Kingston (Trench Town etc.) should be avoided even during the day.

How are two of you traveling alone?


Love
Jamaica is a nice and beautiful place to go but you should always be careful everywhere you go, especially when two females are by themselves and when you are not familiar with your surroundings.


Princess Buttercup
Stay on the resort or take only organized tours with a group. Jamaica is traditionally known as having an extremely high crime rate. When I was there last, a knifing took place a hundred yards in front of us - and that was in the tourist part of town.


SassyGirl
I would think that 2 single women could get into alot of danger and/or problems with drunken guys partying....like that one girl who was on CNN for vacationing in Aruba, she had just graduated high school, and was with 15 close friends, and look what happened to her. Bring some guy friends or a brother or someone with you guys...

Not too sure, but I am from the carribbean, dont go anywhere you don't know without a native of the country. You can hang out at the resort and stuff, I heard jamaica is nice, but i personally wont go there...... Nevertheless Have fun
