Has anyone been to Jamaica for a holiday ? The wife and i are going in may and it is the start of their wet season.
Loved it......don't do resorts, go off piste but watch for dodgy areas of which there are a few.
I've been to Negril a few times as I have friends there. May should be OK as it tends to rain in the late afternoon during rainy season anyway.
Great place much maligned.
Thanks for the info.
We went for a couple of weeks about 3 years ago when our son was working over there, loved it. We had about 9 days at Treasure beach, was perfect for us as we like quiet relaxed hols with opportunities to explore on foot (not bikes on this occasion) and use local transport to visit surrounding area. T.B. has great little bars and restaurants and good local walks, the highlight for us was a boat trip along the coast and inland to see crocs etc.
We had one night in Kingston (enough for us) then a few nights at Port Antonio, another beautiful spot where the highlight was yet again water based - a rafting trip down the river with rapids and a lunch at a riverside shack, wonderful.
The trip ended with a spectacular helicopter transfer back to the airport, but that was a freebie organised by our son (friends in high places).
I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Jamaica?
No, she wanted to do it!
Sorry. Mine's the brown fleece on the peg over there if you'd be so kind... 😉
