Introduction

Jamaica is a tropical island of lush green vegetation, waterfalls and dazzling white beaches. Columbus was in the habit of declaring that each new island he chanced upon was more beautiful than the last, but he seems to have maintained a lifelong enthusiasm for the beauty of Jamaica, despite having been marooned there for a year on his last voyage. One of the larger islands of the Caribbean, it offers excellent tourist facilities and superb beaches and scenery. For the purposes of this guide, the main resorts in Jamaica have been divided into the following sections: Montego Bay (including the northwest coast resort of Negril); the North Coast Resorts (including Falmouth, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio); and Kingston and the South (including Mandeville and Spanish Town).
