          Sandals Dunn's River Golf Resort &         doctor cave beach                            SpaNegril, the capital of casual, lies at Jamaica`s far western tip and fun lovers are advised to make the trip. And they do, to see a beach that stretches for mile upon mile, watched over by cliffs and sunsets that get more applause than the reggae groups at Negril's discos.Feasting together on fresh lobster, hot sun, icy red stripe beer and sweet harmony, Negrils holidaymakers discover that special something which makes it the beach resort amongst beach resorts.

Bob Marley museum                                   Port Royal

 Its not just people who meet in Kingston, but our past and our present, old culture and new. There`s Port Royal, 16th Century Stronghold of pirate Henry Morgan. There`s the ancient dwellings of the Arawak Indians in nearby Spanish Town. And then there`s the Bob Marley Museum, with its tribute to the father of reggae.

                     duns river in ocho                 "LasChorreras"                                                          Ocho Rios` first tourist (one Christopher Columbus) wasn`t wrong when he desribed this as "the fairest land mine eyes have ever seen" A land whose mountainous coastline climbs straight out of the Caribbean, and whose bays and coves strech all the way from Runaway Bay to Ocho Rios itself.

Driving through Fern Gully you encounter more than 500 varieties of fern, many seen nowhere else in the world. Or climb to the top of Dunn`s River Falls and see why the Spanish originally named the place "Las Chorreras" (The Waterfalls). See why Noel Coward was so moved by Ocho Rios that he moved here. It might do the same to you.
