Is Jamaica Safe for a Holiday?

The draw of a Caribbean holiday is as strong as ever. Jamaica, with its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, remains a top destination. However, a frequent question we hear is, "Is Jamaica safe for a holiday?"

The answer is YES! At Couples Resorts, our goal is to ensure you leave with wonderful memories, which is why we've implemented numerous safety measures. Here’s the latest information to help you plan a safe and enjoyable trip to Jamaica.

Staying Safe on Your Holiday

When visiting Jamaica, staying within the grounds of the resort is always safest. Resorts like Couples Resorts have private security and gated entrances to ensure that only authorized guests and staff are on the premises. However, if you wish to explore beyond the resort:

• Opt for guided tours: Guided tours significantly reduce the risk of getting lost or wandering into less safe areas. At Couples Resorts, we offer a variety of guided tours to help you experience the best of Jamaica safely. Our concierge is always available to assist with any questions or arrangements you need.
