Let’s talk about JAMAICA!

I’m so excited to share some knowledge and tips that will help you when planning your next Jamaican getaway.

So let’s get to it –

When it comes to hosting visitors, Jamaica knows how to do it all right! They have been giving tourist warm welcomes for many decades.  Jamaica offers a classic Caribbean experience with a wide variety of resort options.  It is typically very easy to get to with a variety of airline carriers and multiple flight options to and from the island.

Jamaica is perfect for families, couples, & honeymooners. It is especially great for adventure seekers who love excursions and sightseeing, but it can also be great for beach bums who just want to relax. Jamaica has much to offer compared to its neighboring  Caribbean islands. We want to share with you some of our favorite all inclusive resort options to help you plan the perfect vacation when visiting Jamaica.

Reasons to choose Jamaica for your destination:

• Endless number of tours and island activities
• Variety of all inclusive resort options
• Delicious Food – home of the JERK chicken!
• Beautiful blue water
• White sand beaches
• Great value and pricing
• English speaking country for easy communication

Which airport to fly into:

Primarily, the best airport to fly into is the Montego Bay Sangster Int’l Airport (MBJ). Kingston is also an option, but it is not the best option because of resort distance & pricing.
