First it is not good to try to see alot of Jamaica in one week !!!!
Things move slow there, and it would be best to base yourself in one place and do day trips from there. If you want to see and do as much as possible in one week, then it is best to base yourself in MoBay. It not the best place to for "chilling out" and it does not have good beaches, but it is centrally locates on the North Coast so you are able to see and do more from there by doing day trips from there.
If you want to just relax and chill and only see a couple of places, then it would be best to base yourself in Negril are Treasure Beach.
One BIG question is, how do you plan to get around ? Will you be using a "private taxi" are "public transport". Using a "private taxi" will allow to do and see more, and it the safest and more fun way to go, but it is also the most expensive. "Pubic transport" is really cheap, but it will require alot more time and patience to get around. I also do not suggest using it after dark because of the safety factor.

I have been going to Jamaica for many years.
The best tour depends on where you are staying, and how much time you have.

The only restaurant/bars I've been to kingston are Red bones and Gloria's in Port royal, and Juice Patti.

Red Bones is cool but pricey, Gloria's is great but not really in Kingston, and Juici Patti...well it's fast food :)
