Synonymous with spotless sandy beaches, reggae roots and ceaseless warm weather, Jamaica is an island nation in the Caribbean with a lot to shout about. Sprinkled with secluded bays, luscious green hills and white-sand beaches, Jamaica is a country which caters to laid-back and lively itineraries. The east coast provides an abundance of off-the-beaten-path excursions, including the cascading waters of Reach Falls. Spectacular views can be taken from Blue Mountain Peak – Jamaica’s highest mountain. Bob Marley fans can visit the legendary musician’s birthplace and burial site at Nine Mile – in the northern coastal parish of Saint Ann. With mountain vistas in every direction, the lively capital of Kingston is a real club hub, where you can soak up the nightlife vibes until the early hours. Fill up on some typical jerk chicken and sample some local rums like Appleton or Wray & Nephew while you’re at it.
Jamaica’s coastline is a haven for water sports, with snorkelling, jet skiing and scuba diving all on offer.
In terms of accommodation options, you’ll be spoilt for choice as far as beach resorts are concerned. Guest houses are dotted around and are a good way to soak up the culture and mingle with the locals. If you prefer more privacy, there are hundreds of self-catering villas available to suit all budgets.

Guest review
Everything! The setting of this hotel was so beautiful. The staff were amazing and so accommodating even prior to our check in. We had difficulty in getting transportation from our bus terminal to the hotel and when I explained this, they organised everything and were able to add it to our bill. Food and cocktails were great, rooms were so comfortable and well decorated. There was plenty to do within the hotel even when it was raining, we could have spent all our time in the hotel! Private beach area with water sports and a great guide once you take the steps down!

Guest review
From the moment we arrived Joyce and Demali welcomed us as if we were family. It felt very personal and sincere but not overbearing. We didn’t manage to get up in time for breakfast each day by 10am but Joyce worked around us always offering food outside of the allocated hours. The resort/hotel was very quiet but easily accessible and it felt very traditional yet modern. The beds are huge, clean and amazingly comfortable. All the guests were commenting!
