re: Montego Bay - anything worth seeing off of the resort?

Everyone's mileage varies, but I found the prevailing wisdom in this thread to be untrue when I visiited Jamaica.
The big resort cities/towns (Mo Bay, Negril, Ocho and just don't go to Kingston period) do feel unsafe and have a lot of tourist hassling occurring, because the people there have a parasitic relationship with tourists. When you get away from the big tourist draws, the Jamaican people are wonderful.
That being said for Mo Bay: Dunn's River Falls or Blue Hole are the most frequent daytrips, I believe. Any of those popular day trips are going to involve a lot of people tryiing to sell you crap and being very pushy about it, though because they're tourist areas.

What hogfly said. Don't believe the hype.
I've been to Jamaica 15 times and have never stayed at anything resembling a resort.
I was there for three weeks in February, rented a car and did a loop around the entire island, including Kingston.
If you're with your family a trip to YS Falls and an Appleton Estate rum tour is worth doing. If you're with friends just a simply country pub crawl is a blast too.
