Jamaica

One of the Caribbean's largest islands famously has its problems, but also plenty of rewards, from the cliffs of Negril to the waterfalls near Ocho Rios and Port Antonio. and of course vibrant - and underrated - capital Kingston.

Feeling Jamaica´s history and heritage

Hello everyone. I’m Evan, and I want to tell you about what I found in Jamaica. It blew my soul in ways I didn’t expect, and I hope I can share that same feeling with you.

From Kingston streets to Blue Mountain peaks: key highlights of Jamaica

Sandals Royal Plantation one of ´3 of the Caribbean´s Best Sandals Resorts for Honeymoons´

Sandals Royal Plantation One of seven Jamaican Sandals properties, this even more intimate resort in Ocho Rios is a romantic favorite because although it offers fewer amenities - just one pool and five (!) restaurants, along with a fitness center, Red Lane Spa, and a Champagne-and-caviar bar unique in Jamaica, for example - its luxurious "boutique inn" feel appeals to couples, with just 74 oceanview suites (all with private butler service) on ten peaceful acres, adding up to what we found to…

The tropical, enduring appeal of Montego Bay

Grahampurse Served by its own very nearby airport (the Caribbean's biggest and busiest), the third largest city in Jamaica (as well as the English-speaking Caribbean, with a population of around 110,000), MoBay has since the 1960s been an anchor of Jamaica's tourism industry, and one of the island's most visited spots, as well as a very popular cruise port of call. Located in the island's northwest, the city's main draw remains the gorgeous, white-sand beaches with tranquil, aquamarine…

I too and managing a Group Trip to Hedonism II in Negril from June 18-26, 2011 (or any days in-between).

This will be our 5th Annual Group Trip & Reunion-Rendezvous at the Caribbean's wildest all-inclusive and beachfront resort. I also have trip reports and photos from previous adventures at Hedonism III in Runaway Bay (now re-worked into a family resort leaving Hedo II the lone Jamaican adult-fun resort),

My Groups are open to all those that love sun, fun, and costumed dress-up time at open-minded resorts and venues like Hedo.

More details available via my sites.

Jamaica's by and large a pretty conservative island -- with a notable exception being a corner of Negril called Hedonism II. Now on the Tripatini blog: get the, um, naked truth about this naughty resort.
