A Bit of History The most ancient inhabitants of Jamaica are the Arawak Indians. It is believed that they sailed to the Arawak Indians in these places in 250 AD. The first to arrive in Jamaica, of course, was Christopher Columbus in 1494, who named Columbus the land he discovered in honor of the august family the island of Ferdinand and Isabella. But the name never became common. The islands were still called Jamaica, which means "land of springs". Jamaica became a colony of Spain, but in 1665 the island passed into the possession of Great Britain. The slave trade started by the Spaniards developed and prospered, many plantations were built on the island. For almost 2 centuries there was a struggle between the colonialists and runaway slaves. In 1830 slavery was abolished and the plantations fell into disrepair. In the former capital of Port Royal, ships of English privateers were based - pirates, privateers serving the English crown, who attacked Spanish ships in the Caribbean. Apparently, as punishment for robbery during a devastating earthquake, Port Royal went under water, where it remains to this day. In 1962, Jamaica became an independent state.

Negril To imagine Negril, it is enough to refer to the saying of one of the locals: "You have suddenly arrived where your heart has always been." Negril has recently become a resort center. Even young Jamaicans remember the times when there was only a lighthouse, illuminating the way for ships to bypass the rocky coast, and crabs (however, very tasty) were the indigenous people here. The only refuge for tourists was a house called "Llantrissant", built by some Welshman in the early 20th century. He is here now. But what's around! Now it is a tourist center. The discoverers of Negril were "flower children" - hippies, who in the early 70s chose this area for wallowing on the beach. The hippies were followed by normally dressed people, and the construction of luxurious hotels began. In the 80s, the hippies returned here, developing the fame of Negril, but in a different capacity they were already lawyers, doctors, businessmen who annually came to their favorite places Back to the map

Montego Bay The second largest city in Jamaica is the capital of resorts on the island of Montego Bay, which is located in the northeastern part of the island. The Spaniards settled in this place in 1510 and called the bay "Bay of lard", because it was from here that pork was exported to the rest of the colonies South America. The Spanish word for lard is "mantega", hence the name. locals The city is called Mobay. The city has a huge selection of hotels, restaurants, active night life, many shops and magnificent white beaches. For diving enthusiasts underwater park. You can play golf on 18-hole courses that are open to everyone. Curious tourists can walk outside the city and see the old buildings of planters or explore the reserve. Hand feed hummingbirds. It is also interesting to ride along the rivers in a canoe by the light of torches. Along the river you can get to the place where colorful reggae festivals are held every year. Back to map

Runaway Bay and Ocho Rios The northern district of St. Anna with the cities of Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay is called the "garden district" because of the magnificent nature. The area's most impressive attraction is the many beautiful waterfalls. You can swim in the waterfalls, you can climb to the very top. In addition to waterfalls, the district is famous for the Fern Gully, in which 500 species of ferns grow. In essence, this is not a ravine, but the deepest gorge along which the road runs into the interior of the island. The sun never shines in the gorge because of the densest vegetation, so the temperature in it is always 10 degrees lower. Back to map

Port Antonio Na east coast Jamaica is located Port Antonio, which still looks like a sleepy fishing village. Lush vegetation, waterfalls and caves are shrouded in the shadow of the mountains, from which a magnificent Blue Lagoon. Climate Tropical. On the coast, the air temperature is 24 C - 35 C; in mountainous areas it is cooler, from 15 C to 27 C. From May to October it falls the largest number precipitation. Back to map

Kingston The capital of Jamaica, Kingston is located on south coast, on the shore of a large bay. The metropolitan area is now home to a quarter of the entire country. Founded by the British in the 17th century, it has long been the largest slave trading center in the West Indies. At the end of the 17th century, when the first capital of the island of Port Royal was destroyed by a devastating earthquake, Kingston took its place. Now it is the main port and economic center of Jamaica. In the early twentieth century, Kingston was destroyed by a cataclysm. Tourists in Kingston are interested in museums - historical, natural history, art, the house-museum of the legendary Bob Marley and the residence of the main ruler. It is also important for travelers that the city has many hotels for every taste. In any hotel, they will try to do everything for you to make your stay enjoyable, provide an opportunity for any activity: water sports (sailing, water skiing, scuba diving, windsurfing), sea excursions on a boat with a transparent bottom, through which you can enjoy pictures from the life of the water kingdom.

New Year's Eve trip to Jamaica - the best choice for connoisseurs exotic vacation and lovers of active pastime. New Year here is a big holiday with all kinds of parties and colorful fireworks. On this day, Jamaicans either take part in festivities or celebrate in a narrow circle in their villas on the seashore. New Year's traditions of Jamaica are rooted in those glorious times when only a few indigenous people celebrated this holiday among virgins. pure nature… By midnight, a rather excited crowd pours out into the streets of cities… Sounds of sirens, horns, church stakes and exploding fireworks are heard everywhere. Such a cacophony of sounds has long symbolized the exorcism of the devil. The Jamaicans, like the Russians, have a belief: As you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it. Therefore, most celebrate this holiday with family and friends. New Year's fuss absolutely does not violate the relaxed atmosphere of this island. Everything here is always fun and cheerful!

Carnival The famous "Johnkankus" masquerade is one of the oldest New Year's Eve traditions in Jamaica. Its distinguishing feature is unusual costumes made exclusively from rags, tatters, found objects and unnecessary rubbish. Carnival participants wear masks, headdresses made from animal skins. All this action usually takes place to the music of local musicians and DJs. In order not to stand out from the crowd, we recommend that all tourists stock up on at least colorful clothes. But you can also make yourself a costume from improvised materials and feel like a native Jamaican!

Festive table In addition to various everyday dishes, all kinds of fruits, oysters and smoked salmon are always present on the New Year's table of Jamaicans. These dishes are believed to bring happiness and good luck to the home. Worth a try!

And last but not least... For a successful holiday and no less successful celebration of the new year, be sure to get yourself a multi-colored hat, like the most famous representative of Jamaica - Bob Marley

Everything is fine if you do not have a non-standard situation. I found an error when booking the next day, there are still 3 weeks before the start of the tour. According to clause 1.38.5 of the contract for the provision of services for booking a tourist product, the cost of making changes to the tourist product or documents regarding the participants in the tour is 2% of the cost of the tourist product. I had to pay, and the tour operator could do it for free, but I think they could, but they didn’t. In general, it is not very clear why you should contact an intermediary if you can buy a tour from a tour operator. If I see my review printed, I will be very surprised.

Thank you for your service, we chose a tour, quickly received the documents, everything is clear and understandable. Great deals and most importantly a good price!

15th trip already. It's great that you see all the options at once, and not from the agent's words. Fast online purchase, many bonuses.

This is not the first time I work with you. Always communication with you online by phone-ze best! Any time of the day!!! Payment only by card immediately 100% - then you know the problems - your installments (deferred payment) with the microfinance organizations behind them scare !!! Confirmation of tours-swing! But I buy my travels with connecting flights and booking accommodation in countries where well-known tour operators do not take (there are no charters), I buy it myself! For example, the Seychelles, Indonesia, Peru, it's cheaper and what you want, but you have to be a little more.

For the second time I buy tours through Level Travel. Simple and intuitive site navigation is very pleasing. Booking, ordering and receiving documents as usual went without problems. Documents for the tour received as much as a week before departure, just super. Well done!!!

The second time I used the LEVEL TREVEL service to order a tour, this time to Jamaica. There were no doubts about the reliability, they called back immediately, asked if I had any questions. But with such an understandable service, there are no questions. Documents came to email quickly, notifications were both by sms on the phone and by email. Moreover, she always booked tours late in the evening, when time appeared. There is no need to adapt to the mode of operation of the travel agency.

The employee called back very quickly, the process of booking the tour had not yet been completed. It's hard to think of what could be improved :). Best the enemy of the good! Keep it up:)

I have always used this site and enjoyed... last time I booked a tour to Egypt and ran into a scam... and twice... somehow strange.... firstly, when I picked up a ticket, the price for an economy flight and the price for a business class were the same, I, of course, naively chose business .. .. after filling in the passenger data, they told me: what the heck! If you want a business, pay another 164 thousand ... this is with a ticket price of 104 tons .... okay: I think the operator who filled in the data mixed up something, I'll survive the economy, I booked .... after a while they call me and they say everything is fine, the flight is a regular Aeroflot, which means that neither the airport nor the time will change ... I'm waiting for confirmation, it comes: you chartered flight... I have eyes on my forehead like? You yourself called and said that it was regular .... I check the Aeroflot schedule, the flight is regular, it matches .... now I sit and think, why trust deceivers? And if the departure time changes to a completely inconvenient one, what if I can’t fly at all? After all, I chose the tour in many ways: taking into account the departure time too .... if the site really deceives me, it will lose a regular client ... although maybe you don’t care ... I’m shocked ...

I ordered a tour online for the first time, of course, there were some concerns, but everything went so well that there was absolutely nothing to dig into.)) Everything is very convenient, understandable, with pictures, excellent Feedback. All documents were sent even ahead of schedule, there were SMS notifications regarding flights. The holiday itself was great too. For myself, I see no reason to contact agencies anymore, to go somewhere. I liked choosing a tour lying on the couch with a laptop much more. Thanks!)

Used the service for the second time. The first one was fine. Saving time and effort. But the second time there were several overlays at once. I paid for the tour for one night more than I used in reality. I think this is not a puncture of the operator who provided the tour, but Level. After receiving electronic tickets, I stopped, I could not find the number. Yes, he is to blame, but he turned to the employees for help, and received no help. I was told that the ticket would be a day before departure. But this regular flight and I already had a ticket. The operator Teztur helped. At that moment, when we were driving to the airport, a message came from Level that the plane was tomorrow. Unpleasant...

It is not clear why, but the country is away from the "trampled" by Russian citizens hiking trails. There are practically no Russians there. Small groups of Russian citizens happened to be met at the resorts in Negril. And so tourists are mainly from the States (regular planes fly regularly from Jamaica from Montego Bay to Miami).

The language is exclusively English. Ignorance of the language does not interfere with a comfortable holiday. An experienced tourist knows how to survive and get maximum pleasure abroad for a tourist who doesn’t know a damn thing about a foreign language. But this is a topic for a separate discussion.

So, the most striking sketches about the country. 98% of the population are black citizens. If you move 200 meters away from tourist centers(hotels, beaches, adjoining cafes and restaurants), then you will not see whites at all. Everyone lives differently. But mostly very poor (we traveled a lot around the country).
Tourists are not allowed to pass. At every step, they try to screw up three main services: 1) Taxi (even if he himself is not a driver, any citizen of the country is ready to organize a taxi for a fee anywhere), 2) Marijuana (offered everywhere, at any time and in any quantities). It turns out that almost 50% of the total volume in Europe and 36% in the US is marijuana from Jamaica. considered to be of good quality. 3) Braiding. Lack of hair is not a problem. They can be attached to you if you wish. In general, these and other proposals from local residents have only one goal - to rob tourists. Everything in Jamaica is subject to this. Moreover, they can ask for money just like that :))) Especially if you go deeper into poor neighborhoods. I had to deal with this :))) It's better to always have a change at the ready and gladly give it to the locals who begin to cling, pretending that you really like them.
By the way, I think it is because of the criminal situation that most hotels in Jamaica operate on an "All Inclusive" basis. This is when you live in a hotel without leaving it. All pleasures are there (private beach, all sports, free food and drink at any time of the day [it is already included in the price of the tour], all excursions without leaving the bus, etc.). But it is impossible to understand and recognize the country in this way. And in order to spend a vacation like this, it is not at all necessary to travel so far. Therefore, based on personal impressions, I recommend that when traveling to Jamaica, do not choose hotels that work on the principle of "All Inclusive".

As an alternative hotel, I recommend the hotel where I myself stayed with my family - "Doctor" s cave Beach Hotel". The hotel is located next to the same name and best beach in Jamaica. This beach is national treasure country and depicted on the $50 Jamaican banknote. The hotel is located in Montego Bay, the largest Jamaican resort. In addition to the tourist area, there are also "local quarters" with all the Jamaican exotic.

In Negril and even in Ocho Rios you will not see this. In Negril, there is a continuous tourist zone, and local residents, not only with drugs, even with fruit, will not be allowed to enter the police cordon.

In general, the tourism business in the country is very well organized. As we understand (this information needs to be clarified), no matter what company you book a tour package with, the Jamaican "Holiday Service" will act as the host. It is there that there are Russian-speaking guides. Mostly Poles, as well as locals who in the past studied in the CIS countries in the direction of the Jamaican Workers' Party (according to one of these guides). The presence of round-the-clock support (including by phone, though local, there is no roaming with Jamaica) from these guides helps in all situations. The only thing we must not forget the guides (who are local) to thank. However, they will hint at it themselves.

The host travel agency will offer a range of excursions. The most interesting is a trip across the country, through the Blue Mountains to the capital of Kingston. There is nothing to see in Kingston, and there is no time left. True, if you are a fan of Bob Marley, you can run through his museum for 30 minutes. But nature, mountains, waterfalls will leave an indelible impression.

On the way there is an opportunity to taste the famous Jamaican coffee "Blue Mountain" right on the plantation. Although it can be tasted in the restaurant in the hotel. To be honest, there is more talk about its taste and aroma. In short, an amateur ... It is interesting to go to the waterfalls in Ocho Rios, as well as to the south of the country.

Other excursions are less interesting. The cost of each excursion per person is approximately 80-95 am. dollars.
Kitchen. Jamaican cuisine cannot be called quite unusual and exotic. But everything is pretty tasty. Both cooked in a restaurant and in "local eateries". Everything is cooked: pork, beef, goat meat, chicken, seafood (fish, lobsters, lobsters). The piquancy and purely "Jamaican" taste is determined by the use of local sauces and seasonings. Of the purely local delicacies, specially prepared ackee fruits with salted fish should be noted. It is really very tasty and is served everywhere. Other exotic fruits can also be tasted cooked breadfruit, sweet-sap fruits. The rest is the same as everywhere else: bananas, coconuts, pineapples, oranges, etc. Moreover, in poor neighborhoods, you can buy and chew peeled sugar cane. So, to enhance the experience.
A lot of things are prepared from sugar cane in Jamaica. First and foremost is, of course, rum. Sold everywhere, in unlimited quantities, different brands and different tastes. In tourist areas it is more expensive, 200-300 meters from hotels 2-3 times cheaper. Well, it's like everywhere in the resorts.

If we talk about prices in general, then holidays in Jamaica are not cheap. This is not Egypt for you, and not Thailand. But if there was money for a trip to Jamaica, then I think there should be no problems there either.

Curious observation. If you buy a trip to the hotel on the All Inclusive system or go to the hotel with one breakfast, but without being attached to the hotel you will not deny yourself all the pleasures, leave the same amount of money. So it's up to you how to go. I have already expressed my opinion.
Good luck with your travels.
