As the winter quickly approaches, accompanied by its cold and snowy atmosphere, many are seeking getaways in the warmth of the Caribbean Islands; where the temperature is always hot and the beaches are many and easily accessible.
Jamaica is a unique country with beautiful people and picturesque landscapes from the lush mountain sides to the warm Caribbean Sea. From the black sand beaches of Treasure Beach to the almost blinding white sand beaches of Negril.

It is saddening the negative publicity being poured into the media about this unique Island as the good far outweighs the bad.
The secrets it holds and the attractions that have found their homes in this amazing Island has made Jamaica a quality Island to visit for the best Caribbean vacation whether it be romantic or family.
