Most of the best Jamaican beach resorts can be found on the north and west coasts. Jamaica as a holiday island is just waiting to be explored from the Superb Beaches to river rafting or visit many of the Sugar plantations on the island. Jamaica holiday video
 Eating out: Try the superb varieties of authentic Jamaican and International cuisine. Do take care though, as Jamaican food is colourful and often hot and spicy. Famous dishes include jerk chicken or pork, pepper pot soup (pork and spinach soup) as well as the ubiquitous rice and peas.
Fresh fish, fruits and vegetables are always a good choice, wash it down with the locally made Red stripe beer, though do take care with the word famous Jamaican white rum as it is very strong!
Nightlife: For those wanting to take it easy a romantic dinner under the moonlight at Negril would be worth having. Or for the more lively Why not stay in resort where a variety of music to suit all tastes is available from reggae (the best-known export of Jamaica,) however the rhythms of salsa, calypso and Jazz are not usually too far away.
In Kingston you'll find theatre and concerts, see the Daily Gleaner for listings but do take care where you go after dark.
Of course, the main reason people come on holiday to Jamaica is for those breathtaking tropical beaches. All of the main resorts are on the coast, and all offer great facilities, lots of activities and friendly locals. Imagine a tropical beach scene with shallow waters, gentle waves and palm tree-fringed sands... well, that's Jamaica!

Jamaica holiday resorts
Montego Bay
Perhaps the most famous of Jamaica's resorts, this was one of the island's original settlements and brings to mind images of galleons and pirates for many people. Nowadays in Montego Bay you'll find mostly modern developments with an excellent range of international hotels, bars and restaurants - though you'll often turn a corner and encounter some breathtaking 18th and 19th century architecture from those turbulent historical times.
Negril
There's less bustle here than in some of Jamaica's resorts, because Negril has traditionally attracted artist and musician types. So the rural feel has been maintained, apart perhaps from modern developments at the rugged West End, where you'll find a fine selection of bars, restaurants and clubs. Beach lovers will find the Seven Mile Sands suitably aptly named.
Ocho Rios
A well-established, purpose-built resort, right in the middle of Jamaica's north coast makes Ocho Rios a perfect base if you want to explore many of Jamaica's attractions. Add a good range of international restaurants, low key nightlife attractions and a variety of craft markets and duty free shops.
Runaway Bay
This truly relaxing resort is set on a quiet stretch of coastline, with an easy going atmosphere. There are a number of sandy beaches nearby, some of which are private, and shopping is in Ocho Rios, a 30 minute drive away.
Falmouth
A typical Jamaican village set on white sandy beaches with a selection of craft stalls and souvenir shops and a weekly market. Falmouth was designed by British settlers, based on the UK town of the same name. A perfect beach holiday base.
Braco
Attracting beach lovers and sun worshippers, Braco stretches along the water's edge between Falmouth and Runaway Bay - putting both within easy reach for shopping and sightseeing. With no 'centre' as such, its sandy shoreline is hemmed by quality hotels offering varied facilities for sport and leisure. A good choice for watersports ent
Shopping: A large variety of village crafts and duty free malls can be found all over the island. The token souvenir items from Jamaica include Blue Mountain coffee or local rums and liqueurs. Reggae music is plentiful and cheap as is local leather items. Craft stalls offer the usual tie-dyes, jewellery and t-shirts and hand made items.
Days out: Climb up the spectacular Dunn's River Falls (be prepared to get very wet!) or the Blue Mountain National Park for the chance to taste some of the famous coffee and see the plantations; Marshall's Pen to see Jamaica's rare birds; or go rafting on the Rio Grande.
