Jamaica Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

For real, authentic Jamaican jerk, head to one of the island's Scotchies restaurants. It's certainly not fine dining but the food is incredible and is popular with locals.

If staying near Negril, go to famous Rick's café to watch the cliff diving and watch the sunset with a rum punch in hand. Most hotels will offer shuttles so it's a great way to spend a few hours in afternoon.

Jay Fyffe - Jamaica expert

Jamaica has so much more to offer than just the three main resorts of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. Hire a car for a day or two and see the real Jamaica; visit Oracabessa where the famous Golden Eye Estate and James Bond Beach are located, or head to the parish of Portland to see the quaint city of Port Antonio, the Blue Mountains as well as a variety of waterfalls and amazing secluded beaches.
