“Big thanks to Glenn and the crew at First Impression Villa for being an excellent host. We all had a wonderful time staying at the villa, we had experienced a different kind of vacation staying there than if we had stayed at a regular hotel. We enjoyed doing both the local and tourist activities and tours. First Impression Villa felt like our home away from home! We had the freedom to do things and go places without any restrictions.”

From the the view to the layout, Tryall golf course is a must play in Jamaica. Tee off near a historic water wheel on the he site of a former sugar plantation at Tryall Golf, Tennis & Beach Resort, west of MoBay, where the best of the world’s professionals have tested their skills.

You still may see a startling sight at some Jamaican courses, made famous by a caddy at Tryall Golf Club, where caddies carry golf bags on their heads. A word of advice; use their head more than yours. Caddies know the layout and can impart local knowledge. At most courses, hiring a caddy is required. Carts are available at most courses, allowing you to ride while your caddy walks. The privilege of having a caddy is rarely available to golfers playing U.S. Courses.

Green fees may vary during the seasons but generally range from $15-$125USD. Fees are subject to change without notice. Clubhouse privileges are available. Serious golfers may want to bring their own sticks, but you can rent top-name clubs like Calloway and Taylor Made, from about $12-$35USD per round. Using a caddy costs from $10-$18USD per round (18 holes). Rental carts range up to US$40. It’s advisable to bring several sleeves of golf balls; buying them in Jamaica’s pro shops will be costly.

In true Jamaican tradition, is not the centre of the city but it is the centre of in-bond shopping where all the major in-bond stores are situated.

The main Crafts Market is on Harbour Street close to Sam Sharpe Square, but there are two smaller ones in the hotel area, one next to Fantasy Hotel and another on Fort Street on the site of a 17th century fort.

There are a number of other shopping arcades in Montego Bay where the visitor can shop for souvenirs: St. James and Fantasy Plazas are situated in the hotel area and Montego Bay Plaza and Bay West Plaza are on the waterfront in town. Further a field lies the Montego Freeport Shopping Centre to the west of town and the Blue Diamond Plaza to the east.

Holiday Village, also to the east, in front of Holiday Inn, is the largest shopping centre in Montego Bay, with an extensive selection of in-bond stores, souvenir and craft stores, all within easy walking distance. It also boasts an art gallery.

Half Moon Shopping Village, is a very luxurious shopping area, attached to the Half Moon Hotel.

On the western side of the harbour, Montego Freeport has been developed on what was once the mangrove swamps of the Bogue Islands. Here are the deep water piers where cruise boat passengers and freight are unloaded. Here too is the site of the Montego Bay Free Zone, which employs a great number of Montegonians in the manufacture of such things as T-shirts and sportswear, all for export. Jamaica Digiport International, a hi-tech telecommunications centre, is also at Montego Freeport.

The name Montego Bay derives from the Spanish name — Manteca Bahía or Bay of Lard, so called because of the lard-making industry made possible by the hunting of wild boars which abounded in the surrounding hills.

Montego Bay was a sugar and banana town but the sugar factories have closed down and bananas are now shipped out from Kingston and Port Antonio so the picturesque sight of women carrying bananas on their heads and singing the TallyMan song while carrying out their back-breaking work, is a thing of the past.

Montego Bay’s original claim to resort fame was the fabulous Doctor’s Cave Beach which attracted celebrities and socialites from all over the world. The Beach is said to be fed by mineral springs and it certainly rejoices in the most uncommonly clear and sparkling water.

In recent years, other beach clubs have been developed in the area, each with its own special character. Walter Fletcher Beach is closest to town on Gloucester Avenue. Cornwall Beach is just a little beyond Doctor’s Cave, Tropical Beach and Rose Hall Beach lie further out of town.

Montego Bay boasts a wide selection of accommodation, from the older, well-established luxury hotels and the newer all-inclusives to the many small and much more intimate places. Villas await those who want to get away and do their own thing.

Negril is located in Western Jamaica and extends from the nineteenth-century Negril Lighthouse at Negril Point in the parish of Westmoreland, to Bloody Bay in the Parish of Hanover.
The combination of dramatic rugged cliffs on the West End and miles of pristine white sand beach with crystal clear water can be found nowhere else on the island. Neither is there anywhere in Jamaica that’s as laid back. Negril is dubbed the “Capital of Casual” as Negrilians carry out business and pleasure efficiently with the least amount of formality. The first visitors to Negril in large numbers were hippies and this helped to create its carefree atmosphere and now Negril is still the ideal place to meet and make friends with Jamaicans. Visitors to Negril feel little restriction and can relax completely on this piece of heaven on earth.

Aside from the seemingly endless stunning beach and the azure waters off the West End, Negril has many great restaurants and an active night life. There are many interesting tours offered to places outside of Negril, so there is no shortage of things to do. Negril offers a wide variety of places to stay to match any budget. From high end All Inclusives, to hip boutique hotels to small affordable rooms and cottages.

Most visitors to Negril return time and time again and it’s no surprise. Nowhere on Earth has that combination of world famous sunsets, great Jamaican hospitality and that special Negril vibe….
