Jamaica



Welcome! To the most popular tourist destinations and third-largest island in the Caribbean…JAMAICA. Measuring 146 miles long and up to 51 miles wide, this most populous English-speaking Island is the perfect place for you to make reservations for your next vacation. This country’s motto “Out of many, one people” describes the diverse mixture of the many cultures that make up Jamaica. 95% of Jamaicans trace their bloodlines to Africa, but their national origins can also be traced back in Great Britain, the Middle East, India, China, Germany, Portugal, South America and numerous other Caribbean islands. Located in the Caribbean Sea, Jamaican tourists are often attracted to its abundance of beautiful mountain scenery, its long stretches of white sand beaches, and its vivacious rhythms of the Reggae beat that hovers about in the air. So if you are ready for adventure and excitement, follow me as we begin to explore the beauty and secrets of this tropical playground where the fun never seems to end!


Our first destination is on the northwest coast at Sir Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. In exactly 20 minutes, we will arrive at the Sunset Beach Resort and can relax on the town’s private beaches that are protected by a framework of mountaintop jungles. Then we will go to Lester Art Gallery in the hills on a cliff side at the village of Belmont. Here we can exam famous works from Polish sea captain and painter Michael Leszczynski, who is famous in Jamaica for his many works of art. Proceeding on with the day, we will journey across town to The Houseboat Grill. This is Montego Bay’s only unique floating restaurant, bar and grill. The inside is described as being very “cozy” as it satisfies your apatite.

Also on the North coast of Jamaica is Ocho Rios, located in the parish of Saint Ann. While here, we will stay at Shaw Park Beach & Spa. The first place that we are going to visit here is Dunn’s River Falls, which cascades down approximately 695 feet into the sea and is nurtured by springs located in the hills above. As we reach this destination, we will proceed by climbing this famous waterfall as the water rushes around us. Then we will end the day at Tajmahal Shopping center. This is an open-air mall that sells just about everything from jewelry, cigars, perfumes, Army Swiss Knives, etc. it has a currency exchange her so you can purchase all that you want. For entertainment, the Tajmahal band will gladly play custom songs for us that exemplify their lively culture and way of life.
