Thank goodness I left the children behind as this aggressive selling market was not a place for them. Everyone pushing you to visit their booth which were all the same over prices stuff. It was NUTS!

Craft Market was an experience I have never had. There were nice arts & crafts, jewelry, and accessories available.

Our hotel put on a free shuttle to the craft market in Montego Bay which we thought would be great place to pick up some presents as well ensure some of our spending went outside of the hotel resort. Sadly though we found the market very disappointing. We were hassled non-stop as we tried to look around the market -...

The market was busy and a lot of stalls with vendors mostly with the same wares. We found the holiday craft market (across from holiday inn) to be a better alternative - more variety & not as aggressive

We joined this hop-on-and-off tram thing on a recent cruise to the western Caribbean in Jan. Montego bay was the first stop of three and we decided to just get the tram thing, for 15 bucks. This was one of the stops and i sure wish i had just stayed on back to the boat. When we first stepped off...
