And as we saw in a recent post, staying in a villa is often the best way to get the most out of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/content\/discover\/villas\/pros-of-staying-at-a-luxury-villa-in-jamaica\">Jamaican family vacation<\/a>. But this island has plenty of great towns all along its coastline, making it difficult to choose where to rent a villa in Jamaica. That\u2019s why I want to take a closer look at where to stay in Jamaica for families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This post will specifically look at six Jamaican destinations: Montego Bay, Tryall Club, Negril, Ocho Rios, Discovery Bay, and Runaway Bay. We\u2019ll take a look at the pros and cons of each, as well as discuss which type of family each is best for. I\u2019ll also offer a villa pick for each. Hopefully, by the end of this post, you\u2019ll have a better idea of where the best place to stay in Jamaica is for <em>your<\/em> family.<\/p>\n<h2>Staying in Montego Bay<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jamaica\u2019s second-largest city, Montego Bay (or MoBay) is a hub for Jamaican tourism in general. It\u2019s vibrant, conveniently located, and full of life. This is where you\u2019ll find the Hip Strip with its shops, restaurants, and nightlife. MoBay is also where you\u2019ll find Jamaica\u2019s best golf courses. It\u2019s this diversity and convenience that makes Montego Bay such a popular choice for families. And though it can be more crowded than other destinations, most of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/rentals\/luxury-villa-rentals-caribbean\/jamaica\/montego-bay\/\">Montego Bay villas<\/a> are located in gated country clubs like Half Moon and Rose Hall.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros of Staying in Montego Bay<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Shopping, dining, and nightlife<\/li>\n<li>Lots of history<\/li>\n<li>Convenient and accessible<\/li>\n<li>Golf courses and country clubs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons of Staying in Montego Bay<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>More commercialized<\/li>\n<li>Can get more crowded<\/li>\n<li>More solicitation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Montego Bay is Best for:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Families with golf lovers<\/li>\n<li>Multigenerational groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Montego Bay Villa Pick:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalescapes.com\/rentals\/luxury-villa-rentals-caribbean\/jamaica\/montego-bay\/bougainvilla-on-spring-farm-128406\">BougainVilla on Spring Farm<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>6 bedrooms<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>6 bath<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>$1,900-$3,429\/night<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located in the Half Moon Resort, BougainVilla is a recently constructed, modernist villa that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living.
