A REAL JAMAICAN TOURIST WOULD ENJOY LIFE TO ITS FULLEST EITHER STARTING MONTEGO BAY OR KINGSTON, BOTH ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE IN THERE OWN WAY. LIKE I SAID START AT ONE OR THE OTHER BUT DON’T JUST STAY THERE THE WHOLE ISLAND IT SELF HAS ALOT TO OFFER IN VERY DIFFERENT SCENERY FROM THE COUNTRY TOWNS TO THE MOUNTAINS IN MANDEVILLE. BEAUTY OF THIS ISLAND PARADISE. STILL CAN BE SEEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BEHOLD. THE FOOD OF THIS ISLAND IS HEAVEN AS THE RASTAFARI KNOW HOW TO EAT AS WELL AS THE NATURAL JAMAICAN..FRESH FRUITS AND VEGATABLES THE BEST NATURAL ORGANICS IN THE WORLD. THE FISH. THEY KNOW HOW TO COOK IT AND THEY KNOW HOW TO FEED YOU. WHEN YOU FLY INTO JAMAICA IT IS LIKE ENTERING A TIME ZONE. WHERE THERE IS A PACE THAT IS DIFFERENT IN EACH PLACE YOU VISIT. JAMAICA YEARS AGO USE TO BE THE ONLY CARRIBEAN DESTINATION THAT YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT NOW YOU HARDLY HEAR ABOUT JAMAICA. THE GOVERMENT HAS RUN THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE INTO THE GROUND..AND THEY ARE FIGHTING TO GET THE OLD TROPICAL PARADISE BACK……………..AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE BACK…IT USE TO BE THE THERSHOLD OF THE CARRIBEAN NOW IT IS A BATTLE FIELD…FOR WHAT RESPECT….ONE LOVE???..THE ISLAND IS GODS BLESSING WHICH NEEDS TO BE LOVED AND RESPECTED..

I spent a lovely 10 days in Port Antonio. We stayed at the Trident Villas in January 2002 to attend a wedding in the castle. It was fantastic. Our early morning ritual included sitting on our patio chairs sipping coffee while watching the ocean. Many peacoks found their way to our villa and loved watching us every morning. The room was very beautiful and the beds were great.
Service was fantastic too.
We eat a lot at a restaurant called Anna Bananas down from the resort.
They served the best Creole Chicken and Lobster Kampi I’ve ever tasted. We went back that night for dinner.
The chef was 21 years old but a ole hack at preparing gourmet meals. His name is Teddy. Jessie was the server/waitress. They were the best. Teddy took us to a night club later the first night called Roof Top.
It was back to basics there.
One evening was spent at Jamacia Hills Resort. This place was the bomb. We saw the whole area from the balcony. The owners were the best. There we were served lobster and Mai Mai. Drinks were on the house. Appleton wine and fruit juice.

We simply loved the Blue Lagoon. Its different eating with your fingers there.
We also checked out Winifred Beach. Another fabulous day as long as the locals don’t cheat you on the shells and beads.

Also watch out for the price to take a cab around town.
The first day we were told that our fare was 250 jamacian dollars to Anna Bananas ($5.00 US)
But later taking a cab a second time it was $100.00 jamacian ($2.00 us). Make sure you negotiate the price
before you get in the car.

Once you find a good cab driver get his phone number and stick with him.

The people in Port Antonio were fantastic.. We felt welcomed everywhere. At the nite club it was even better. I really liked experiencing the real Jamacia.

Sirs:

I have never seen any suggestions to tourists to visit the “blue hole”. We traveled there and found it fascinating!!

Why not show pictures and stories about this Jamacian treasure?

sincerely,
James Prentice

I have made the trip to Jamaica 15 times in 5 years, each trip staying for 1 month. I spend most of my time in the Northeastern part, Portland, St. Mary and St. Catherine. The schools are my main interest, teaching teachers and students with a learning problem or just a problem in life. I stay with pastors and have become family to many, many, many people. I have adopted 4 young ladies because they love me and I love them. I have never been loved and accepted by kids and adults more anywhere. When I go to a small rural school the kids hear a car door they begin chanting my name. It is great to be loved.

This year marked our 3rd vacation in Jamaica. We have stayed at the same establishment in Mobay each time, and were welcomed back very warmly. As before we loved the hospitality, the warmth of the people, and of course the jamaican food and rum.
During our stay we signed up to visit the Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth. This phenomenon is really worth seeing. The only pity is that our photos of this fluorescent water did not come out very well. Apparently the light from the flash took away some of the brilliance.
Another excursion we went on was the Hilton High Day Tour; a quite bumpy 2 hour ride out of Montego Bay into the mountains. The countryside is magnificent, all the lush green and the tropical flowers were wonderful to look at. Our tour guide at the plantation showed us many plants that are used for medicinal purposes, to help with things like high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes and many other ailments. We also took a trip down the road to a settlement founded by Germans in the 1800s, named St. Leonard. Being of German descent, I found this very interesting.
I love staying in a hotel on the beach, but each visit I feel that one is more likely to see the real Jamaica by taking day trips away from the hotel. One thing we have found consistently is that the people are very warm and friendly. Each time I hated to leave the island, although this year Hurricane Isidor made parting a bit easier. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can return. I LOVE JA.
