Jamaican Dollars or US$?

We recently returned from Jamaica and made the mistake of not taking enough cash with us (we did not have travelers checks either). I have always been able to use my ATM card when I travel (mostly in Europe) and relied on that in Jamaica as well. Do not make this mistake. We found that it was very difficult to find an ATM and our hotel did not accomodate this type of cash advance. We went to an all inclusive resort and did not leave the property very often, but we found that US dollars worked everywhere we went and seemed to prefered by most.

We bring travelers checks and cash them at one of several cambios located in Negril. There are two ATM machines I know of but you may need to call your bank before you leave to make sure you can use the card outside the US, some banks "lock" them.
