Travel Ideas

Jamaica has always been a special place since Errol Flynn, Noel
Coward, Ian Fleming made it famous over 70 years ago. It has always
been the first place people will name when asked about an island in the
Caribbean.

In truth Jamaica has it all, which means a Jamaica Vacation or a Jamaica
Honeymoon will be something extra special.

Just what makes Jamaica extra special is the real question, and this
Jamaica Travel Guide will try to supply some of the answers. There are
beaches to die for, mountains, and the most incredible red sunsets
anywhere in the world, but that by itself is probably not enough to
make you want to take a Jamaica vacation or honeymoon.

There is no doubt it is quite unlike other Caribbean islands close by in
that it really does cater for a broad range of tastes. After all where else
caters for everything from the idle beach bum to the wealthy, the
honeymooner who wants isolation to the partygoer who is looking for
an all action resort.

Jamaica, regarded by many as the most beautiful Caribbean Island is
the ideal place for a tropical vacation. When you look at the many
differing types of people who go on holidays to the Caribbean, they all
have different ideas of a perfect tropical vacation. When you look at
Jamaica and see lushly covered mountains, waterfalls cascading down
onto beautiful white sand beaches, exotic flowers, and activities to suit
all. Jamaica is a well developed tourist island, so if you want to play
tennis or golf you can, scuba diving isn't a problem, and if you are a
night owl then there is everything from piano bars to limbo shows.

The only area that isn't well developed is shopping, so husbands and
men generally can be relieved to know that Jamaica is not a shoppers
paradise - Yet!!

Choosing when to travel to Jamaica is an important part of a Jamaica
Travel Guide, and Jamaica really has an idyllic climate so it is a year
round tropical vacation destination. The average temperature is
77degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 82 degrees in the summer. The
coastal plains in the north get the benefit of the trade winds that blow
from the Atlantic , and then there tends to be a breeze morning and
evening caused by cooling and heating of the land.

It rains in May, and from August to October, but to be fair it doesn't
rain every day, and the showers only last a couple of hours maximum.

To make use of any Jamaica Travel Guide you need to know what type
of tropical vacation you are planning. Do you intend to travel on your
own, or as a couple, or in a group. Jamaica has a huge variety of places
to stay , enough things to do to satisfy even the most diverse of tastes.
It really doesn't matter if you are a bunch of college students,
honeymooners, or a family there is something for you. Getting married
in Jamaica is very affordable, especially if you avoid the peak season
from Late December to Late April when accommodation costs are at
their maximum.

The type of accommodation you are looking for will be available,
unless you must travel at peak season when early booking is essential,
but then Jamaica isn't any different to any other Caribbean Island. Here
you will find everything from Casual bed and breakfasts to inns with
old world charm. There are super all inclusive resorts to luxury villas, in
fact Jamaica has it all and more.

Then there is the small issue of what do you want to see and do. You
can easily spend a week sipping pina coladas on a beach or by a pool,
lying in a hammock under a palm tree with a good book. On the other
hand you could go scuba diving, or river rafting, horse riding, or play
golf on world class courses. Jamaica has something for all in the way
of attractions and activities to keep you as busy or as idle as you want
to be.

This Jamaica Travel Guide can only touch on this tropical vacation
destination, but it is obvious that Jamaica is one unique and incredible
Caribbean Island.
