Jamaican Travel and Culture
My Jamaican Adventure My name is Ashley and I wanted to share my first experience of Jamaica and its culture with you. My first trip to the beautiful island of Jamaica was back in July 2008 when I went to Reggae Sumfest. I had no idea how much of a life changing experience it would be for me. As I looked out of the window as the aeroplane descended into Montego Bay, I was in awe at the beauty of the island and how different the landscape was compared to what I am used to in Canada. When I stepped out of the ...
Best Exchange Rates in Jamaica
Let’s start with one of the worse exchange rates and that is right at the airport. The Cambio at the airport is known for being convenient but stay clear of it if you are looking for a good rate. Generally people like to use banks to exchange their money but I’ve found that the banks in Jamaica don’t always offer the best exchange rates. Question: So where can I get the best exchange rates in Jamaica? Answer: The best exchange rates in Jamaica are found at any of the cambios that are located away from the airports! On my ...

Hedonism 2 Review
A review of Hedonism 2, otherwise known as Hedo II in Negril, Jamaica. For years I've been hearing about the Hedo resorts, so I decided to look into Hedo II in Negril and see what the hype is all about. My search started on a Hedo forum which led me to about a half dozen other Hedo forums......people love to chat about Hedo but they leave out the juicy details! After a while I decided that I wanted to see Hedo II to see what the hype was all about. Since I already had a room booked for my stay in ...
The Ruins Ocho Rios
The Ruins at the falls is a restaurant and a great place to tour some beautiful waterfalls. While they are open for lunch and dinner, I would recommend going for lunch so you can spend an hour or so exploring the water falls, flowers, trees and everything else it has to offer. The lunch at the Ruins is served buffet style with beer and wine included in the price. I think we paid around $15 US each and while the food was okay, the beer and wine were both horrible. So, don't go for the free booze, go ...
Ackee in Jamaica
Jamaican Ackee, a great tasting food that is part of the national dish (Ackee and Saltfish). Ackee is very cheap to eat in Jamaica, but fill up while you are there or be prepared to pay $12-$16 a can in the US! In this first picture you can see what Ackee looks like before it naturally splits open and once it is ready to harvest. Eating it before it splits open can make you sick and in some cases it can kill you! Pictures of Ackee [caption id="attachment_479" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Picture of an Ackee tree"][/caption] In this second picture you can see what you ...
Sunsets in Negril Jamaica
The sunsets in Negril Jamaica are considered by some to be the best in the world! Most people flock to the west end "cliff area" of Negril to enjoy the sunsets from popular places like Rick's Cafe or 3 Dives. Unless the sun is setting deep in the south, almost anywhere in Negril offers a great location to view the sunset. The first slide show is a series of pictures and a short video of two sunsets viewed from 3 Dives and next to Sexy Rexy's bar on the cliffs. The second slide show is a series of pictures viewed from Herbie's ...
