In 1494 Christopher Columbus first sighted Jamaica and declared it "the fairest island that eyes have beheld". With its turquoise edged beaches, wonderful scenery and fine resort hotels youll find it hard to disagree.
The largest of the English-speaking Caribbean islands, completes that heady West Indian cocktail of pearly beaches, warm blue seas and feathery palms with tropical scenery on a spectacular scale. Experience the cool of the Blue Mountains, where gracious plantation houses nestle alongside lazy, fern-fringed rivers and sparkling waterfalls tumble down lush hillsides to the beaches below.
There are plenty of sports and activities, but if you simply want to do nothing, then cool off with a Red Stripe beer or potent rum punch and youll soon understand that the Jamaicans mean when they say "no problem!".
