re: Jamaica. Is it safe to leave the resort?

Depends.
The wife and I took our honeymoon to Montego Bay.
We were safe when we took the shuttle bus to the mall at Rose Hall and when we went on a tour group to Ocho Rios to climb a waterfall and swim with the dolphins, but the guides had to be careful to warn us of certain things that the locals would do to ensure both our safety and to not get ripped off.
You can hire a cab for the day to take you wherever and go it on your own, but I'd rather be part of a tour group from the resort because there's safety in numbers and, besides that, the resorts and tour companies will bust their arse to keep you safe to save their own hides.

this is what we did.
we hired a cabbie through Rasta Tours for the day and had him take us around the island and sho us things the normal tours wont. he took us to an awesome place to eat, showed us a couple of the schools, and things like that.
