What type of experience would I have if I went to Jamaica (not to a resort)?

I’m very interested. I really don’t have any more details…that’s it. I’m just curious….what would it be like? How would I be treated? I’m 22, female, white. I would not be alone, probably with my boyfriend. This is all hypothetical, but it is a thought in the back of my mind. I have never met someone who has really gone to Jamaica, just resorts.
