re: Is Montego Bay, Jamaica a family destination place?

We went after Easter and yes while it looks scary around town, our bus driver told us the laws there are so strict when it comes to crimes against tourist that no one will even think about messing with tourist. That's their biggest income is tourism, if peopled stopped going there, the country would collapse.

We were on the plane ride with a couple bringing their younger kids and they said they had been a few times with children and really enjoyed it. We also saw several families at the Jamaica airport. Personally we stayed at a couples only all inclusive and with the 600+ dollar a piece plane ticket that would be the only way I'd go is just my and my wife.
