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.

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…

2 Jamaica properties in '9 of the Most Romantic Hotels for Valentine's Day in the Caribbean'

Palm Island Resort     These tropical isles usually rank high on the list of V-Day getaways, and offer an embarassment of riches when it comes to hotels and resorts. So this year a writer for USA Today put together a list of nine for couples to consider for a romantic Valentine's weekend. You may not agree with all of them - and, indeed, I find the list skews too much toward bigger resorts and largely ignores charming smaller inns, but I can attest to one, Palm Island (above) in the Grenadines…

    • And would you mind posting the link once you do share? Thanks!
    • I didn't mean to infer that I was actually going to write anything for publication myself on this particular outlined "zone" - just noting that the definition of "high-end and low-density" given what they include in terms of St. Ann/St. Mary/Portland is not realistic and in fact outright inaccurate. If in fact they wanted to create a "low density/high-end" concept", they'd really have to just narrow it down much more to points within only St. Mary and Portland at the most. St. Ann? It's the home and birthplace of the original mega-size all-inclusive - the former Tower Isle Hotel that became the prototype for the all-inclusive model back in the Seventies. And then Ocho Rios, its location, being the present-day hub of many another huge all-inclusive - a reality to be found on the St. Ann coast continuing both east and west inside that parish.
    • Absolutely, Hal, be our guest
  • At The World on Wheels, it's the final chapter of our Jamaica saga. 13 hours in economy and waiting in airport lounges is not appealing, let's see what we can do to alleviate it. It's a First Class...Almost...Exit From Jamaica.

  • We've covered the "all-you-can -drink" portion of the all inclusive Luxury Bahia Resort at The World on Wheels via last Sunday's Cocktail Hour. Now it's time to sample the "all-you-can-eat" side of things. It's the Food of Jamaica.

  • At The World on Wheels, it's time to find out what's out there beyond the walls of our resort in Runaway Bay. Let's jump in the car and take a drive along the north coast of Jamaica.

  • It's another brand new Cocktail Hour at The World on Wheels. Instead of a pub crawl, a pool crawl as it is. A swim up tour of the cocktails of the Bahia Principe at Runaway Bay, Jamaica.

  • Now that we've settled into our Jamaica routine on dry land, The World on Wheels takes on the number one activity on the island, namely jumping back in the water. Come for the beautiful pools and beaches. Stay for the stingrays and jerk bar. We're switching to Vacation Mode in Jamaica.
