Jamaica Reviews

I have recently just come back from my amazing 3 week holiday in Jamaica and can honestly say it was absolutely incredible. I am already saving for the next holiday now. As my parents are from Jamaica, I have a lot of family over there so stayed with my grandparents in Mandeville for most of the time which was great as it's situated in the hills, ...  Read the complete review

Jamaica, one of the most alluring of the Caribbean islands, lives as a tourist brochure cliché of tropical scenery and shimmering beaches. Its sunsets provide the backdrop for many a romantic picture and the reported laid back nature of the locals with a ready smile and quick wit portray a happy-go-lucky island. Jamaica is everyone's ...  Read the complete review

Red Stripe beer, Tia Maria, Reggae, and Rastafarianism; These are the things that most people associate with Jamaica. However, there are a number of other things that Jamaica and it's people have to offer. The food is first class, especially in the non-tourist retaurants. With a spicy mix of African, Indian and Chinese cuisine, it ...  Read the complete review

Jamaica is about 235 km (146 miles) from west to east and 80 km (50 miles) from north to south at its widest point, the third largest island in the Caribbean.

Jamaica is a fantastic island to visit. Most people think that Jamaica is full of gangsters, drugs, weed, and ruff necks. But isn’t most places nowadays (cause I know London is). What people need to do is recognise the facts of the country and basically stop being so small minded. At first I was worried about going there, but at the ...  Read the complete review

Jamaica, one thinks of the movie 'Cocktail'. I went to Negril and stayed outside of the hotel complexes. (Not by choice). Anyway, a few disasters happened where the person I went with got mugged etc. etc. and wasn't pleasant. Any traveller would know not to go wandering off by yourself in complete darkness in an ...  Read the complete review

JAMAICA Our first long haul holiday was Jamaica. What a fantastic, colourful, fun experience. Yes it was a long flight but well worth the 10 hrs plus of listening to my husband moan about, not going to Greece that year, we could have been there and back by the time it took to get to Jamaica. This was also our first all inclusive holiday ...  Read the complete review

We stayed at an all-inclusive resort just outside Ocho Rios (Shaw Park Beach Hotel), which was OK with the last minute discount that we received on our accommodation, but I wouldn't have been happy if I'd paid full price. The weather in March/April was OK, although a bit chilly in the evenings. My main objection against Jamaica was that it ...  Read the complete review

White Sand. Palm Trees. Blue Seas. This is the beautiful island of Jamaica as seen in so many travel brochures. Sure enough upon arrival there was white sand and palm trees, there was blue sea, and there was definitely sun. What was also present in the extreme was cannabis and prostitutes, both of which were agressively pushed ...  Read the complete review

I visited Jamaica a few years ago when I was 17. It wasn't a holiday or work but a "Youth Experience". A group of 20 of us spent 5 weeks travelling all round Jamaica and got to see all the highs and lows of this beautiful island. Without a doubt the all inclusive hotels in Jamaica are fantastic and you could probably have ...  Read the complete review

I recently had to take a trip to Kingston, Jamaica for work. Despite the general assumption by my colleagues that I really was going on vacation - they were all wrong. Kingston is basically a very small, run down 3rd world town, forgotten by the tourism that has taken over the northeastern parts of the country. There is nothing to do in town ...  Read the complete review
