We were in Jamaica approximately 15 years ago and I would never go back. I found it was too crowded and you could not leave your resort without being literally accosted by street vendors and drug dealers. We spent a week in Ocho Rios and a week in Negril.

Ocho Rios was completely awful, whereas Negril was somewhat better because at least you had access to the beach. I cannot see that this problem would have changed with time other than to get worse as there would be even more people there now. A woman actually grabbed me on the street and took me into an alley so that she could braid my hair for money. Thing is - I did not want my hair braided.

The best snorkelling I have done was in Playa del Carmen in Mexico. I would recommend Mexico, both for the value of the dollar and the excellent people.

what about cuba? you can do some fantastic snorkeling and the wife can chill out on the beach. I enjoyed my last trip there about 2years ago.

Cuba is nice, and some areas have reefs right off the beach. We spent a week down there this year, and our resort had a great area right of the beach with only 3-4' of water!
