Discover the Beauty of Jamaica

Posted - November 25, 2019

This island is known for its laid-back lifestyle. Rhythmic music flows through open-air markets where shoppers can find a variety of handmade goods and sample Jamaican cuisine. The African spice rubs that are used in Jamaica’s creole-style cooking make delicious jerk and stews. Fresh fish abound, as do locally grown tropical fruits.
  
Montego Bay is perhaps known best for its snorkeling and shopping, but there are plenty of interesting excursions to take as well. Montego Bay Marine Park offers opportunity to explore the shoreline’s coral reefs, mangroves, flora and fauna by canoe with a guide to see herons, egrets, pelicans and waterfowl, as barracudas and scores of other fish swim below. Jamaica is also known for its majestic plantations and great houses, which tell the story of more than 350 years of written history. At the Bellefield Great House, stroll through gardens with centuries-old trees and step inside the grand house showcasing 18^th-century colonial livings and Jamaican culinary history.
  
Cascading rivers and waterfalls pour down from Jamaica’s lush hillsides to the sparkling Caribbean Sea. In Ocho Rios, a favorite activity is climbing Dunn’s River Falls with a guide that is happy to snap 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. Irie Blue Hole is another watery escape. Situated on the north coast, this is a serene forest setting where guides accompany you on a trail through  cascading falls and blue pools, where there is opportunity to swim, dive and swing off ropes into the water.
  
In Jamaica, all-inclusive resorts are the primary accommodations for visitors. These resorts are situated in some of the best island locales, with long stretches of white sand beach, sprawling pools, and unlimited land and water sports. Enjoy luxurious accommodations, attentive personalized service, and exceptional cuisine prepared under the direction of well-known chefs.
