Jamaica has its own island vibe, which makes it a great place to focus on for travel. As a Jamaica travel agent specialist and advisor, I know you’ll love your island adventure. Therefore, I’m always excited about arranging travel to this one-of-a-kind Caribbean island locale. Like all Caribbean islands, Jamaica boasts a beautiful geography with mountains, rainforests, and beaches with coral reefs. The majority of its all-inclusive resorts are concentrated in Negril, which is well-known for its diving and snorkeling spots, and Montego Bay, which is recognized for its British colonial architecture. The Bob Marley Museum, which honors the well-known reggae artist, is located in Kingston.  Jamaica is a stunning, vibrant country that offers much more than just palms and beaches. The island maintains an attitude - a personality  that is both resonant and receptive. It is a soulful land of vivid colors, magnetic rhythms, and unending creativity.  Away from the coast, there are stunning mountains and rivers, tumbling waterfalls, and savannah grasslands covered with cacti. There is undoubtedly plenty of white sand and an aqua sea to enjoy as well.  This lush natural setting serves as the backdrop to the island's interesting and rhythmic cultural past - exemplified in the island's exploding reggae scene. The past influences the island’s  forceful expression of its artwork and the strikingly distinctive flavors of its food as well.The odds of crime are quite slim, as the Jamaican government has invested millions to ensure that the island treats its tourists fairly. As the origin of the all-inclusive hotel, Jamaica has developed into a popular destination for travelers who wish to go directly from the airport to the beach without ever leaving their hotel grounds. However, if you want to venture off the resort grounds, I can help you do so, as the island is brimming with top-notch attractions. Eating and drinking are pleasures on the isle as well. You can enjoy Blue Mountain coffee and dishes, such as conch soup, and delicious foods sold at roadside stands. Feast on grilled lobster served up by the sea.The "big three" resorts of Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios account for the majority of tourism in Jamaica. Montego Bay is a bustling commercial city with a tourist strip lined with hotels, pubs, and restaurants, as well as groomed golf courses and luxurious all-inclusive resorts that dominate the coast to the east. Negril is younger, more laid-back, and has a long-standing reputation for an energetic nightlife. Its low-rise hotels are strung along magnificent white sand beaches and sit next to stunning cliffs and scenery. Ocho Rios, which epitomizes high-impact tourism, was designed and built in the 1960s - offering  the best combination of sun, sand, and sea. Its tourism industry is unquestionably robust, and you'll be close to a number of top sights, including the well-known Dunn's River waterfall.I know, as a Jamaica travel agent advisor, that the best way to experience Jamaica, is to plan a trip. Make it your goal to do so today. I can help you start planning the perfect holiday. Give me a call or email me now.

Antigua and Barbuda Travel Agent Professional

Shirley Heights view

As a travel expert for Antigua trips and holidays, I can tell you there are plenty of good reasons to explore this one-of-a-kind vacation destination. Antigua and Barbuda are two tropical islands in the Caribbean Sea that are around 1,000 miles east of Jamaica and 500 miles from Trinidad off the South American coast.On Antigua, visitors can find historical landmarks, delectable cuisine, and a vibrant cultural climate. The island's 365 beaches, however, are what attract visitors from afar the most frequently because of their beauty and diversity.  Do you enjoy having fun in the sand? Are you seeking for shallow clean water for your children to play in? Would you be interested in diving deep into the ocean? There is a beach here in this paradise for each day of the year. If you decide to visit Antigua's attractions, you'll discover that the sun worshipers, who regularly camp along the coasts, often ignore the panoramic views of Shirley Heights or overlook the interesting history of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.  Therefore, your sightseeing excursions can turn out to be quite enjoyable. Besides the many beaches, you can also discover some of Antigua’s hidden charms. One of these hidden, or maybe more obvious, charms is Nelson’s Dockyard - a historic site I suggest you add to your travel itinerary. If you only take a day off from the beach, visit Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour, which has been immaculately preserved. The naval dockyard originally housed the British fleet during the Napoleonic Wars and, from 1784 to 1787, unctioned as Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson's administrative hub. The Dockyard is home to various restaurants, cafes, and boutiques as well as the Dockyard Museum where Admiral Nelson's telescope and tea caddy are on display. Guests who visit the Dow's Hill Interpretation Center, can view a 15-minute presentation on the island's history and culture.  Other Dockyard activities include walking around the marina, unwinding at the neighboring beach, or ascending to Shirley Heights to admire its sweeping views.  Although it's unlikely that you’ll see all of the dockyard's attractions in one journey, making the trip will motivate you to re-explore the Dockyard on another trip. Half-Moon Bay in Antigua is another recommended site. You can either plan a half-day or full-day excursion to one of the best beaches on the isle. The remote beach is located in the easternmost part of Antigua. The national park location draws the interest of windsurfers who like the beach’s large waves, as well as snorkelers who can snorkel in quiet waters close to the edge of the beach.  Everyone embraces the white pearl colored sands and the fact they are privy to one of the most beautiful sunsets around. However, the beach is hard to find, with its winding and paving road offering little in the way of markers and signs. Therefore, traveling to the free-access island can be expensive - especially if you go by taxi. The beach is about 40 minutes from the cruise port, so I suggest spending the whole day at the island if you want to make the most of your money and time. Pack a picnic lunch, bring a towel and beach chair, and you’ll find you won’t mind spending the money if you take a taxi or rent a car. Unless you’re driving to Half-Moon Bay, driving through Antigua is fairly easy if you plan to go by rental car. Just make sure you drive defensively and watch out for the road surface, which is lacking in some locales. If you prefer, you might think about taking a scenic tour of the island so you can get to know it better. By taking a day tour with a guide, you can learn more about the island's history and its present sights.  An extensive day tour includes popular sights, such as Shirley Heights, Devil’s Bridge, the Blockhouse, the Nelson Dockyard and Fig Tree Drive. See the large banana trees and enjoy lunch at a waterfront restaurant outside.  If you are traveling to Antigua for the first time then, you might want to book a guided tour. I can arrange pick-up at your hotel or at a cruise terminal if you plan a cruise trip to the island. I urge you to make Antigua your next vacation destination.
