We have been taking our kids since they was 3 & 5. They are 12 & 14. KIDS are like kings and queens in Jamaica. There's TONS to do in Jamaica. We like to do local stuff, don't like the tourist trap. IMO- We do Mayfield Falls & Roaring River. Going to Jam West. OH YEA!! Cliff diving at Rick's. Or just riding around in the country sight seeing. If we run across a cricket or football game. Kids and I ask to join, the answer is usually ya mon! Be adventurous! Snorkeling from Rhodes Resort. IMO. Hit up some web casts with Rob and Lisa meet boardies. Canoe has good snorkeling and looking for sea glass. There's lots of stuff to explore in Jamaica. We love Jamaica as a family. Once ya go then your kids and you know. Just my opinions. Opps, where to stay. I forgot that. - Pending on your budget. There's a will there a way on that too.
