What is Jamaica like? Have you got any holiday tips? Is Air Jamaica good to fly with?

Answer 1

Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean, and the fourth largest country. The island of Jamaica has mountains inland surrounded by a narrow coastal plain. For this reason, most major cities are located on the coast. Chief towns include the capital Kingston, Spanish Town, Mandeville, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Port Antonio.

The climate in Jamaica is tropical, with hot and humid weather, although inland regions have a more temperate climate. Some regions on the south coast, such as the Liguanea Plain and the Pedro Plains are relatively dry rain-shadow areas like rainforests.

The official language of Jamaica is English. However, most likely you will hear traces of what sounds like a foreign tongue. The language on the streets is called Patois. Patois is a combination of English, spanish. Portuguese and African phrases which sounds more rhythmic then traditional English.

Though a small nation, Jamaica is rich in culture, and has a strong global presence. The musical genres reggae, ska, mento, rocksteady, dub, and, more recently, dancehall and ragga all originated in the island's vibrant popular urban recording industry. Internationally known reggae musician, the legendary Bob Marley, was born in Jamaica, and is very well respected there. The genre jungle emerged from London's Jamaican diaspora. The birth of hip-hop in New York also owed much to the city's Jamaican community.

Christianity remains a strong influence on cultural life, particularly in music. Most people learn their music at church, and biblical references are often used in popular songs. It is not uncommon for musicians to be playing dance music on Saturday night, and church music on Sunday morning.

Air Jamaica is the best Air Line flying out of Jamaica, Holidays tips you have to figure that out for your self

Answer 3

Air Jamaica, American Airlines and Delta are the three biggest carriers from the US and they all providegreat service. The best food is on Air Jamaica. The better fares are on Delta and American. Once in a while Air Jamaica offers a deal but it is more frequent on Delta and American. I flew Delta in July and my round-trip ticket was $285.00! Last year on American it was about $384.


There are tons of fun stuff to do in Jamaica. It all depends on your personal likes and dislikes. Negril has two cool night clubs, The Jungle and Loveboat (lots of fun and cool people). If you ar into the ganga thing be very cautious where you do it because there are sometimes plain-clothes and uniformed police patrols around some areas and they can arrest you. Contrary to lots of uninformed people, ganga (weed, herb, mrijuana...whatever you know it as) is illegal in Jamaica and if you are caught using it you can be imprisoned!

You do not want to irritate or get on the wrong side of a Jamaican policeman. They are cool, you can approach them and chat them up but do not disrespect them. The same goes for the general Jamaican population. It is a misconception to believe that all Jamaicans are ganga smokers or even like the stuff. Many if not most Jamaicans do not like or partake in the ganga activities. I once overheard a Jamaican comment "they cannot smoke ganga in their country what makes them think they can smoke it in Jamaica?". All I'm saying is that if you are adventurous just be discreet with your activities. Most of all be respectful of the Jamaicans and their tropical island, they are really cool people.

I have stayed in Negril and jumped off the cliff at the famous Rick's Cafe into the crystal blue waters (lifeguards present).
I have partied at The Jungle and the Loveboat. I took a sunset cruise along the Negril coast. Ah...a must do is visit Margaritaville..a fun hangout spot. In Negril I stayed at Point Village resort (my favorite Jamaican holiday spot). A very beautiful, tropical beachfront resort with a magnificient sunset. Their pricing is very affordable too.

I stayed at Holiday Inn in Montego Bay and its a resort filled with activities all day. It is nicely located only 15 minutes drive from the MOBAY airport and close to most of the attractions and shopping in MOBAY. There is another Margaritaville nearby there too with lots of fun stuff.

I stayed at FDR Pebbles in Trelawny and that is also agreat resort with lots of fun people and fun stuff. This resort is close to the Martha Brae river where you can enjoy a nice tranquil rafting experience on a guided bamboo raft (appx. $60 US for the trip).
I did the rafting and its a wonderful experience. I also went river-tubing at the Chukka Cove (check out the tour desk at any hotel and you'll get brochures on Chukka and many other attractions).

Dunns river waterfalls is a great experience too. The water is refreshingly cold as you climb the falls (human-chain style...lots of fun). In Ocho Rios you can swim with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove.

I stayed in Kingston with some family friends and we climbed to the top of the Blue Mountains (last month!). We went to the hot springs (mineral bath) in St. Thomas parish and we ate jerk chicken at the famous Boston Jerk in Portland. We went to the Helshire beach and dined at Aunt Mays where you could enjoy some tasty seafood then play on the beach. Port Royal is also nearby and it has an old fort with lots of history!

Go to jamaica and experience for yourself....you'll love it. I've been going there since 2000 every year and ooooooh yeah...I'm going back next year!

If you go have a safe and fun trip! :)

Answer 10

the resorts and beaches are pretty and dunn's river falls is beautiful...but jamaica as a whole is very poor place, it is sad when you drive from the airport and you pass all of the ramshackle huts on your way to the luxurious resorts. Also, people contantly come up to you and solicit you to have your hair braided and sell you things.
