Nice Things We've Seen or Done in Jamaica

[kooljamming]

I got this idea from this poster 'hkolln' - Helen. Here is my list along with a few pics:

 

Montego Bay - I experience one of the most amazing sunset

Negril- I walked down Bamboo Ave, enjoyed YS Falls, strolled the 7 miles stretch of Negril Beach, saw my kids jumped from the cliffs

Ocho Rios (or close to)- spent a day at Coyaba River Garden and Museum, climbed Dunn's River, drove through Fern Gully, visited Bob Marley birth place and a local market. I gave a stranger something and she said "God Bless You". I knew she meant those words.

 

In Jamaica among great poverty I have seen such beauty, heard more laugher than anywhere I have ever been.

Sunset in Montego Bay

Sandy white beach in Negril

Cliffs in Negril

YS Fall close to Negril - not as endearing as Dunn's River but visually more breath-taking

Coyaba River Garden and Museum in Ocho Rios - A splendid botanical garden and waterfall

Montego Bay- Sunset Beach and Spa offers a waterpark, snorkeling, decent beach (even Au Natural)

 

Ocho Rios - Sunset Jamaica Grande -waterslide and awesome pool

Couples San Sousi - 20 minutes out of Ocho Rios. A fantastic adult only resort. Day pass runs between $65-$85

Visit a local market or school. Enjoy the driving skills of your guide. The place is best seen on a tour, with someone else's hand on the wheel and a Red Stripe in yours.

These are not seen in brochures but still there:

a one room house, a local shop, neighborhood street, a cement tank for holding water and tomorrows breakfast.

Seems like everytime we have been to Jamaica we end up doing the same things depending on which port we use - Dunns River Falls, Blue Mountains, Plantation this and Plantation that....

 

This time we see a new offering that includes:

St. Ames Bay

Seville Heritage Park

Fern Gully (OK that should have been on the list above as well)

and Wassi Pottery.

 

Has anyone had experience with any of these?

Can you get day passes to the Sunset Resort in montego bay? If so.......how? We are going on a cruise on RCL (Navigator) on Feb 1, 2009 and thought this resort looked fun and the beach looked wonderful! :rolleyes:
