TRAVELER’S GUIDE
Discover the Beauty of
Jamaica
This island paradise certainly sets the stage for romance, but it’s also a wonderful family getaway, with exceptional resorts and plenty of activities to keep everyone happy.
Jamaica is known for its laid-back lifestyle. Music flows freely through the open-air markets where shoppers can find a variety of handmade goods and sample Jamaican cuisine.
In Ocho Rios, climb Dunn’s River Falls with a
friendly guide who willingly snaps photos of you as
you challenge the falls. In Port Antonio, ride down the Rio Grande River. It’s a relaxing six-mile journey on a bamboo raft that takes you through the lush bush areas of the island.
For a breathtaking panorama of Jamaica’s lush forest, visit Caves of Nunsuch and Athenry Gardens in Port Antonio. Not too far away is Blue Lagoon, also known as the Blue Hole. This deep sinkhole brings cold water from underground, turns the water inky blue, and provides the perfect aquatic platform for water-skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving and glass bottom boat rides. Jamaica is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich islands in the Caribbean, and all-inclusive resorts are the primary type of accommodations. At all-inclusive properties, visitors can enjoy a carefree time without worrying about extra expenses because meals, recreation and entertainment within the resort are all included.
Some of the best all-inclusive resorts are situated on some of the best beaches, where sun and surf activities are readily available. Enjoy well-appointed luxurious accommodations, beautiful public spaces, exquisite cuisine prepared under the direction of well-known chefs, exceptional personal amenities, and attentive, personalized service.
