Hotels near Norman Manley International Airport - KIN, Kingston

I enjoyed my stay in Kingston, whether out walking and sightseeing or relaxing in my apartment. People are friendly and helpful and I felt safe everywhere that I went, all during the daytime. I visited the Bob Marley house and garden museum, the Devon House museum and centre, the downtown craft market and saw other neighbourhoods, using local taxis. I cooked all of my own meals in order to keep the price of my visit down.

The people are amazing, every single person we met was friendly, helpful and happy! The only downside was having to be aware of where you can walk but you get that in most big cities. The standard of driving leaves a lot to be desired and the potholes are something else. But Kingston is an experience and as long as you are careful it is a joy to be part of. Gloria’s in Port Royal is worth a trip if you like seafood. Catch a boat out to Lime Cay for a few hours is also like nothing else - watch the pelicans swooping into the sea for fish while you’re sipping beer on the beach! 👍👍. Devon House for patties and the must see - Marley Mansion along Hope Road along with a visit to Emancipation Park 👍

What a nice Experience Kingston is. I stayed at the corner of Duke and Queen with Chillinn at Duke. Walking to the harbour in the morning. Watching the city come alive. Street venders selling porridge, chicken foot soup, fresh fruit and what ever else you are interested in. Got more hassled in Negril. There is lot here. Peter Tosh, Bob Marley exhibit, museums. Big city stuff. I did not go out at night to much, just like any other big city I have been in the world. Irea. Take Kingston in.

I come to Kingston to visit family, friends, and to do mission work. I would not come to Kingston to hang out. It is dangerous and chaotic...but I like it. I grew up in Naples, Italy where it's very similar. I love the people, the roughness, the danger, and the real aspect of Jamaican living. Many Americans may not like it here. This is not a resort town. Just be aware of it. I lived here for five years and love it...but it is challenging at many levels. You drive on the left here and that is a challenge if you are not used to that as well.

Kingston is a place for dancing and food. There isn't much amusement as in bowling arcade places or things of that sort but there is lots of life. The people can be a hit or a miss just like everywhere but you will have a great time full of music throughout the town as well as Jamaican culture with vendors and beautiful water everywhere. Food is always great and just beautiful weather is always a place to go.

Kingston is very nice. It’s safe if you’re familiar with your environment and the places you go. I am usually in New Kingston. And this was my first experience staying in Downtown Kingston and it is safe! We walked around the downtown area by ourselves and we were safe. We were 3 women. Kingston is City and it’s no different than any other city in the world.
