Get a feel for the resort

Jamaica has just about everything - beautiful beaches, fantastic resorts and facilities, a rich cultural tradition all enhanced by super inland attractions. Most visitors spend time on the beaches, but search for scenic beauty and Jamaica will exceed your expectations with an internal landscape dominated by the magnificent Blue Mountains. Choose your resort with care for they range from calm tranquillity to casually carefree - Negril is the quietest with fantastic watersports, Montego Bay the most lively and Ocho Rios is the closest to some of the most famous sites. Jamaica has plenty to offer any visitor. Climb to the top of the 600ft Dunn's River Falls or take a trip round a plantation where Blue Mountain coffee is grown. Kingston has elegant old-colonial houses and New Kingston is home to the Bob Marley Museum. Other points of interest include Fern Gully, Rose Hall, Runaway Bay, Treasure Beach and Firefly, the former home of Noel Cowerd. Relax on Seven Mile Beach which is great for watersports or raft down the Martha Brae River. There's plenty to see and do! Jamaican food is full of fire and spice and local dishes include curried goat, jerk chicken and rice (spicy and strong), salt fish (dried cod) and patties (staple snack). A typical Jamaican breakfast is ackee, a tree-grown fruit that bears a resemblance to scrambled eggs when cooked. Jamaican rum is world famous as is Blue Mountain coffee or for something cool choose from a wide selection of fresh fruit juices. Local drinks are Red Stripe beer, Tia Maria and Skyjuice (made from shaved ice flavoured with syrup).
