Why visit Jamaica?

Sailboat off Negril Beach That's a question I'm asked frequently. You see, I have visited Jamaica a number of times over the past 7 years, and stayed in a variety of hotels, and made friends with some of the locals. It's amazing that such a small Caribbean Island has so much to offer in the way of sightseeing, shopping, activities and hotels! In Jamaica, I've: Walked the beaches and searched for shells Kayaked, learned to sail, and snorkeled Eaten in some really great restaurants Met friendly Jamaicans, and even hosted them in my home Stayed in a variety of unforgetable hotels, from budget to 5 star Jamaica has so much to offer everyone...great beaches, sunshine, watersports, golf, and parties. Sunbathe on a white sand beach or snorkel in crystal clear blue water.

So why do I return to Jamaica year after year?

It's the people. They're friendly, and always have a welcoming smile. It's the soft white-sand beaches that are raked each day. It's the clear blue water with a multitude of brightly colored fish. It's also the luxury hotels with the 24-hour room service, or the party resorts with unlimited rum punch. It's "island time", where no one is in a hurry, and there's "No problem, Mon".
