Shopping Shopping in Jamaica is an experience in and of itself. The island's vendors peddle wares of all kinds, from local hand-made crafts to imported designer watches and perfumes, all at prices that can seem like a steal. The key to shopping in Jamaica is being prepared to bargain. Certain shopping areas, such as City Centre, Half Moon Shopping Village and Holiday Village Shopping Centre (all in Montego Bay), are'fixed price' areas, where rates are fixed and no haggling is allowed. Prices may be slightly higher than marketplace rates, but this policy saves the hassle of bargaining with vendors. If, however, you are the kind of traveler who enjoys the thrill of the bargain hunt, the Jamaican markets are the place to go. |
