Jamaica trip advice!!!! Mo Bay to be specific..help?

how much spending money should i be taking to jamaica, i was thinking about $250, would that be enough? this is just money for souveniers, how expensive is stuff over there? and what should i expect when i get there??Jamaica trip advice!!!! Mo Bay to be specific..help?
1st of don't ever pay the asking price for anything in Jamaica ! start off offering 1/2 of what the ask and barter your way to what you find to be reasonable (i've found walking away always works) and yes $250. is plenty. and to answer what to expect-expect the time of your life!Jamaica trip advice!!!!

That really should be enough. You will want to make sure you have a good understanding of the conversion rate. You can get this rate at the airport or at your resort. This will help you to compare the pricing and know if something is way too expensive or not. Also, if you have enough time compare prices and try to negotiate pricing.
Unless you are buying gifts for a bunch of people you should be fine. Don't do any shopping at all (cover your eyes) at the airport since it's overpriced.





Wait until the end of your trip to do your shopping, by then you might have a feel for how people haggle and it will give you time to ask others what they paid.





Jamaica is full of great artists, you should be able to find some really nice gifts!
