Set in
the Caribbean Sea in between Cuba and
Haiti, Jamaica is the third largest
Island around. Aside from this it also
happens to be the fourth largest country
in the Caribbean.
Given
the location Jamaica has tropical and
humid weather that is common in places
like this. However, if you move more
inland you may find some cooler and more
temperate
weather.
All in all this
weather is made for fun in the sun and you will also find
a great deal of natural scenes and views. This,
among many other
reasons, makes the island perfect for
a Jamaica honeymoon.
Valleys, plateaus,
plains and mountains such as the Blue Mountains can all
be found in Jamaica. Surrounding all this
you will discover a welcoming coast where various
activities like snorkeling and diving can be
enjoyed.
In
Kingston, which is the capital of
Jamaica, visitors will
experience the center of art,
politics and the heart of Jamaican
culture.
A
visit to the Devon House will treat you
to the best shopping locations as well as
delicious ice cream, while the Spanish
Town Square will give you a snapshot
of the
country's history.
Here
you will also find the best restaurants
that range from gourmet cuisine to local
roadside food.
Come night, you will
be able to find parties in clubs and on the
beach.
Other major towns and
cities in Jamaica include Montego Bay, Ocho Rios,
Negril, Portmore, Mandeville and Port Antonio. Each of
these places has just as much to offer as the
capital itself does and you will be spoilt with some
of the best attractions in Jamaica.
The people of Jamaica
are mostly of African descent although you will quikly
notice that there is a rather diverse 'ethnical
spread'. Chinese, Indians, English, Germans, Cubans and
Lebanese are only some of the people who have migrated to
Jamaica over the years, creating a rich cultural
mosaic.
The language spoken on
the island is known as Jamaican English and has become
quite popular thanks to the spread of Reggae music. One
of the most prominent things about this country is their
distinct music which has greatly influenced other forms
of music like American rap. You are likely to hear the
vibrant and lively rhythmic sounds of Reggae just about
anywhere that you go. Perhaps one of the most popular
artists that their music can be related to is
international artist Bob Marley.
Beside the strong
cultural influence and great destinations, one thing
that you need to know about going on a Jamaica honeymoon
is the great food. Perhaps the most popular dish in
the island is Jamaican Jerk which is also served in
some restaurants in other countries; although there is
nothing like the real thing.
The Red Stripe beer
and Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee are also things that
have become world renowned and are
must-try’s.
Newlyweds love to come
here to Jamaica couples resorts, or even
just stay at jamaica
beach hotels. No matter where you stay,
chances are you are going to have a great
time.
Whether dining or
shopping around you’ll need to arm yourself with some
Jamaican Dollars which is the currency used throughout. A
Jamaica honeymoon is one experience that you will be sure
to remember and enjoy with all the unique activities
that you can enjoy through it.
