Jamaica has been a favorite get-away within the
travel community for many years now. With it's all-inclusive
resorts and luxurious beaches many people cannot resist the
temptation to book their summer or winter vacation to Jamaica!
Montego Bay is famous for its "Hip Strip" booming with shops,
restaurants and clubs, championship golf courses on lavish
resorts, and legendary Colonial great houses - Montego Bay's
juxtaposition of natural beauty and man-made luxury make it a
beloved destination. And Negril is a favorite destination for
families, honeymooners and spring breakers, Negril's picturesque
coast, lined with towering cliffs and bustling beaches, is home
to many world-class all-inclusive resorts, as well as nightlife
hotspots. But dont forget Kingston with its straddling grand
history and dynamic modern culture, this capital of contrasts is
Jamaica's government and commerce epicenter, the beating pulse of
its politics, and the creative outlet of its people.
Although we're known for our beaches, there's a reason why our
first inhabitants named Jamaica,
"the land of wood and water". Jamaica's topographical
features, unlike many other islands in the Caribbean, are very
diverse. So if you're interested in seeing the full breadth of
Jamaica's landscape - explore some of our spectacular rivers,
waterfalls, caves, bays, mountains, forests and woodlands. For
adventures on land, don't forget to pack Insect Repellent that
contains DEET, high SPF sunscreen, shades with UVA/UVB protection
and broken-in, closed-toed hiking or walking shoes. For
adventures in water, bring waterproof sunscreen, shades with
UVA/UVB protection and sandals or water shoes with Velcro or
lacing (flip-flops are a no-no)! And whatever you do, bring a
camera.
