Our Visit to Jamaica

My wife and I on a spur of the moment trip went to Ocho Rios and had a blast. We went in early October, which was the rainy season, and stayed for a week. The people were fantastic, both on and off the resort (Club Jamaica). The rain would always come at about 3 o’clock […]

6 Years a Tourist

We first started visiting Jamaica was in 1987. We’ve probably made more than a couple dozen trips since then. Typically we go to Negril–to party– but now we want to take our 2 teenaged sons to the island. Since we’ve been travelling there for 10 years we’re looking at possibly retiring there. Does anyone have […]

Spring break 98 – loved it!!!!!

I went to Ocho Rios in March for spring break. We stayed at the renaissance Jamaica Grande resort. It was the best hotel. The nightlife was awesome. I met so many people there and we hung out together every night. The beaches there were nice and the pools were open all night! Horseback riding was […]

My Jamaica Experience

In March, I had the best experience a person could ever have- I went home to Jamaica for the first time. You see, growing up in the United States, I always knew that my “roots” were in Jamaica and that I wanted to go home, not only to see family or for a vacation, but […]

Jamaica My Constant Craving

I just returned from my first visit to Ochos Rios, Jamaica. Never in my dreams would I have thought that my visit would bring me to want to change my life forever. The beauty of the island and the warm hearts of the Jamaicans we met will forever remain in my memory. We made immediate […]

Negril holiday

Don’t pack any more than a bathing suit, and money. Jamaicans love American $$$$$$. Lovely people, everyone was so nice. What to say to vendors who want to sell and you don’t want to buy. “Not today, maybe tomorrow.” Jamaican men loved my blonde hair, blue eyed daughter. One comment I overheard. “I love you […]

Cross Cultural Experience

Hello my name is Bree Hall. I am currently a senior at Alma College, which is located in Alma Michigan. Recently for a class (4 credits) we went to Jamaica for three weeks. We just got back from the trip on Sunday May 17th. The purpose of the class is a world studies/cross cultural experience. […]

My Jamaican Vacation

Just came back from a (2)week vacation in Jamaica and I enjoyed mostly every minute of it. The only thing that I didn’t like was that every call I made home had to be collect, and that there was a $2 charge just to be connected to a international operator. Calling home became a real […]

A Great Resort

My new wife and I had never been to Jamaica before and were apprehensive when we landed at the Montego Bay Airport and endured the bus trip to Negril. However, from the second we stepped into the Swept Away Resort our worries vanished. I’ve been to other all inclusive resorts in Tulum, Cozumel, and Cancun […]

Incredibly Beautiful Jamaica

My husband and I just got back from Jamaica last night. I was genuinely sad to leave. We stayed in Negril. “Seven miles of beach” is what the travel agent said. But that does no justice to this beautiful place. Some things worth mentioning are the spectacular mountains, the breathtaking sunsets (too lovely for words […]
