Find Deals & Specials for Jamaica Montego Bay
The tourist capital of Jamaica, Montego Bay is the second largest city on the island, and the hub for all tourist activities. From it's busy international airport to it's luxurious beach resorts, Montego Bay has a large city feel with a tropical charm.
Description
If you are looking for an exciting Caribbean vacation, Montego Bay would be the perfect choice. The strips are decorated with vibrant nightlife and shopping, while the beaches are decorated with relaxing sunbathers. The city is on the Northwest side of the island, and is centrally located to the resort towns of Ocho Rios and Negril. Any type of accommodation is available here, from grande all-inclusive resorts, to smaller beach bungalows. Jamaica is the third largest Caribbean island, and can provide both a stimulating and tranquil vacation. Its traditions of reggae, rastafarianism, and Jamaican art mingle with modern all-inclusive resorts, fine cuisine, and cosmopolitan shopping to make Jamaica an attractive destination to all sorts of visitors. The natural beauty of the island also offers endless entertainment -- don't miss the many amazing rivers, waterfalls, rainforests, coral reefs and sandy white beaches!The island's diverse natural resources provide seemingly endless ways to have fun. You can climb waterfalls, golf at your choice of 11 courses, or tour via bicycle, moped, motorcycle, or jeep. Horseback riding or horse racing at Caymanas Park in Kingston are also options for fun on Jamaica. Or, you can venture in search of blue marlin, wahoo, or tuna on the full or half-day deep sea fishing charters offered by most hotels. They include boat, captain, crew and equipment. After all that activity, the tastiest way to get in touch with the local culture is through the interesting, spicy cuisine. The national favorites include the fish called ackee and saltfish. Mouth-tingling spicy jerk pork and chicken, a Jamaican invention, can be savored on the beach, right off the wood-burning grill for a casual lunch. But the island does not lack other choices. International food critics have lauded the restaurants which have brought local dishes to gastronomic heights. Most enticing may be Jamaica's reputation for its laid-back atmosphere, epitomized by the slow groove of its reggae music. The genre was created by the late Bob Marley, considered one of Jamaica's national heroes.
