Jamaica
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Ever since Errol Flynn cavorted here with his Hollywood pals in the 1930s and '40s, travelers have regarded Jamaica as one of the most alluring of the Caribbean islands. Its beaches, mountains and carnal red sunsets regularly appear in the sort of tourist brochures that promise paradise.
The northern mountain slopes shelter Kingston and the south coast from the worst of torrential Caribbean rain so there's little chance of canceled limbo marathons, in case you were worried.

One of the great Caribbean resorts, the Half Moon is an exclusive colonial-style affair named for its private crescent beach, behind which are beautifully landscaped gardens containing a nature reserve. The likes of the Queen of England and Prince Charles have stayed here and enjoyed the gourmet restaurants, squash and tennis courts, equestrian center, full-service spa and championship golf course. The Half Moon also takes its environmental responsibilities seriously; it has earned the 'Green Hotel of the Year' award given by the Caribbean Hotel Association.
Set a bit inland on expansive landscaped grounds, this property offers casual seclusion. There is a variety of accommodations to suit every guest's needs.

Summerset also offers a shuttle to the beach and restaurant and bar in the hotel for added convenience.
While luxury can be found across Jamaica, its lap is surely on this eight-acre spot nestled around two private beaches just east of Ocho Rios. Each room has a spectacular view of the sea and smaller details like the orchids that grace the gardens to the pillow menu for your room show that the Royal Plantation goes the extra mile. The resort also boasts three gourmet restaurants and has an array of water sports available. Royal Plantation's atmosphere and amenities make it one of the most unique hotels on the island.
Suggested Itineraries in Jamaica
Unlike other nearby islands, Jamaica caters to everyone from beach bums to newlyweds: you can choose a private villa with your own secluded beach; laugh your vacation away at a party-hearty resort; or throw yourself into the thick of the island's life while experiencing the three Rs: reggae, reefers and rum.
The Blue Lagoon is by any measure one of the most beautiful spots in Jamaica. Made famous by a certain Brooke Shields movie and the site of a well-publicised Jacques Cousteau dive, the 170ft (52m) deep 'Blue Hole' (as locals call it) opens to the sea through a narrow funnel, but is fed by freshwater springs that come in at about 131ft (40m) deep. The lagoon's colour changes through every shade of jade and emerald during the day.
