Interesting question OT. I think a lot of young folks are going to Mexico instead. Mostly the Yucatan Peninsula (Cancun, Rivera Maya, Akumal, Tulum, Isla Mujeres). Beaches are nice, food prices compared to Jamaica (IMHO) are cheaper and public transportation (AC buses and collectivo) is cheap and more available than JA.
I have been looking at some nice condo type apartments on the Bay of Isla Mujeres with nice kitchen, pool and beach for $981 a month usd.
I think most young folks are on a tighter budget than us older folks.
That said when Rick's cam was working you would always see a bunch of young folks. Probably staying in AI's as you suggested or on a day trip from some other area in JA.
It will be interesting to see what others on this board have to say.
