Why on earth would you plan to go anywhere else before visiting Jamaica?
Caution: You always want to have bug/mosquito repellent when visiting.
Jamaican's are vibrant creative spirited individuals. Jamaican artist Robert Nesta Marley, AKA, Bob Marley, is accredited for bringing reggae music into existence. You'll love to relax and listen to the reggae music of Jamaica, as it soothes your mind and satisfies your heart, letting you know that you've come to the right place to vacation.
What is There to Do in Negril, Jamaica?
You can definitely have fun in the sun and play along Negril's seven mile beach. The beach is lined with resorts such as: Sandals, Couples, SuperClubs, Spain-based Riu and others. In Negril is where you will find the area's first and most famous, Rick's Cafe'! You'll love to take part in the sunset cliff diving tradition! You'll find all sorts of great Jamaican cuisine in town. When you're ready soothe your ears and move your feet, you will find reggae bands along Norman Manley Boulevard and/or at the bars along the boulevard. If you are a nature lover, you'll want to explore the beautiful sea life which can be experienced by taking a trip out on a glass bottom boat, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, mountain biking or horseback riding. For golf enthusiasts, there is an 18-hole golf course just south of town. If you want to visit the Dolphin Cove and swim with the dolphins, Lucea, Hanover, Jamaica is the place (You'll travel past it if traveling from Montego Bay to Negril). This is one of the largest natural dolphin Lagoons in the world! You'll also have an opportunity to ride camels and touch a stingray! (There is another Dolphin Cove located in Ochos Rios, Jamaica)
What is There to Do in Montego Bay, Jamaica?
Montego Bay, AKA "MoBay," has been a popular tourism destination since the late 1800s. Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport (MBJ), new Montego Bay Convention Center and its many varieties of unique adventures makes Montego Bay the tourism hub for Jamaica. On Gloucester Avenue, AKA "The Hip Strip," you'll get to explore shopping, dining and partying. This mile long stretch of popular beach front property is lively day and night! You'll be surprised when you decide to go downtown at MIDNIGHT, for a some jerk chicken, just because you can and find that the party is not only in your mouth, but now in your shoes! If you're a people watcher you'll love to stand around and watch. Also in the area you will find the intimate properties of Round Hill Hotel & Villas, Tryall Club, Golf, Tennis and Beach Resort. You'll also find larger resorts such as the Holiday Inn Sunspree. The all-inclusives include: Sandals, which got its start here, Iberostar, Secrets, Hilton and the Ritz Carlton. There is also many non-resort properties. Popular places to gather is Margaritaville. Don't leave without sliding down the 120-foot chute that drops you from the deck into the sea! There are also cigar bars, a casino, many restaurants as well as road side vendors. If you want to experience RUM, visit the Rum Jungle & Cafe' & Bar. It's open 24 hours a day and they serve more than 100 types of rum. If you're ready to float down the scenic river on bamboo rafts, you'll find that on the Martha Brae River. You can also go zip-lining through the jungle canopy.
What is There to Do in Ocho Rios, Jamaica?
Ocho Rios, AKA "Ochi (Pronounced Oh-Chee)," has become Jamaica's second largest tourist center and number one cruise port. Considered the picture perfect bay and cruise port. The port welcomes one to three liners daily. The all-inclusives in the area include: Sandals, Couples, Breezes and Riu. The family oriented properties include: Beaches and the Franklyn D. Resort & Spa. There are also many non-resort properties. In Ochi, you can visit the ever popular Dunn's River Falls, with its 600-foot climb to the top. You'll love the fresh water. I caution many that they may want to bring aqua sox for the climb. Don't worry if you don't bring any as you can also rent a pair before making the climb. If this were a climb in salt water it would be just a tad more difficult. Just before making your climb you can ride jet ski's for an additional cost. Another favorite activity is floating down the White River on inner tubes or zip-lining through the forest. Restaurants in the area include: The Ruins Restaurant Coyaba River Garden and Museum and on Main Street is Mama Marley's. The restaurant was owned by Bob Marley's Mother, Cedella Booker. I have eaten here and was pleasantly pleased! I have continually heard rave reviews. The group of 10 that I brought with me loved the food and ordered additional food to have later on! Try it! 
A few miles from Ochi is the village of "Nine Mile." Nine Mile is the birthplace of reggae great, Bob Marley! You can tour his boyhood home, often guided by his relatives, who share stories of his life and music.
What is There to Do in Kingston, Jamaica?
Kingston became Jamaica's capital in 1872. Located on Jamaica's south coast, Kingston is one of the largest natural harbors in the world. The Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) is located here. Popular hotels in the area include: the Wyndham Kingston Jamaica, Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, and many boutique properties. Many of Kingston's original 18th and 19th century buildings are still in use. On the first Sunday of every month, at 9am, at the Jamaica War Memorial, Amaica's British heritage lives on in the changing of the guard ceremony. Quite near is the Kingston Synagogue which is the only Jewish house of worship on the island. If you love art, you'll rave about the National Gallery of Jamaica, whose works includes Edna Manley, Mallica "Kapo" Reynolds and more. Additionally, the neighboring African Caribbean Institute of Jamaica offers insight into Jamaica's African heritage. Our reggae enthusiasts love the Bob Marley Museum, housed in Bob Marley's home and recording studio. For coffee lovers, you can tour the gourmet coffee plantations just a 30 minute ride away.You'll love the island, the people, the food and most of all, THE EXPERIENCE! By NO MEANS will you be able to visit all that Jamaica offers in one visit. You'll love Jamaica time and time again.
