Best Books & Videos About Jamaica
Rough
Guide to Jamaica - This is one of the best books about Jamaica.
It tells you the everything you need to know -- where to stay, shop, eat and how to get around.
It's easy to read, and gives the inside story. If you only read one book, this is the
one you need!
Frommer's(r) Jamaica, 2nd Edition - Frommer's
always gives great reviews on hotels, sightseeing, and restaurants. This is a good guide
for people who want to go to Jamaica, but aren't sure where to stay, or what to do, once
arriving.
Lonely Planet
Jamaica (Jamaica, 3rd Ed) - Discover the best best places to snorkel & Scuba dive, the best
nightclubs & restaurants, and learn the history of Jamaica. This book offers details on
the cities and towns, and not just the major resort areas. In my opinion, you can plan your
whole vacation by just reading this book!
Jamaica Travel Map - This is a great
map if you plan to drive around the island. It offers detailed information on the major cities and
highways, plus color photos. Don't leave home without it!
The
Naked Truth About Hedonism II (2nd Edition, Updated for 2004) - This book, written by Chris
Santelli, gives an insider view about Hedonism II. While it is entertaining, don't take it all
to heart. I have stayed at Hedonism II six times myself, and haven't seen or experienced
half the things that she has!
How
Stella Got Her Groove Back - This is somewhat of an old movie (1998) which stars Angela
Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg. It's a great movie to view if you want to see what the luxury resorts
of Jamaica are like, as it's filmed on the island. I don't find it very true-to-life, otherwise, but
it is entertaining.
