We are going to Jamaica from the UK and are a bit confused. Do we take US Dollars or Jamaican Dollars? The advice on the web seems very contradictory!

Take your Money when you get to Jamaica you can
change it to Jamaican Dollars the rate on UK
money in Jamaica is very high one UK Pound is
value about JD$120,One US Dollars value JA$65
Their is a Jamaican Consulate in London if you need advice please call them, It is illegal to take Jamaican Money from over seas to
Jamaica, you must bring your own Money or US
money which is use all over the world.
Most people who are advising you don't have a
clue of the question you ask

I've been three times (from USA). The major hotels have currency exchange booths. The Jamacians will gladly accept Pounds, Dollars, Euros as their currency doesn't hold value.

We just honeymooned there last summer. We took US currency and had no problems. I don't think any prices were marked in UK or Jamaican denominations.

NAW just plain old Goats...Just kiddin. The Absolute best currency to take is U.S. Dollars. then exchange them for Jamaican Dollars on the black market...DO NOT USE BANKS OR BUREAU DE CHANGE..THEY RIP YOU OFF.
In kingston their is a certain BBQ restaurant where you get top Dollar exchange.
