Today Jamaica fascinates many a visitor, entranced by the spectacular, lush scenery, the dramatically long coastline of sandy beaches and bays and the quaintness of ancient plantation houses and faded grand old buildings. The Blue Mountains contain Jamaica's highest peak and produce the famous Blue Mountain coffee, reputed to be some of the best in the world. There are numerous excursion possibilities from the hotels we feature to plantations, caves, waterfalls, botanical gardens, arts and crafts centres and beautiful Port Antonio. A variety of scenery and pace of life can be found on the seashore from popular beaches with a full range of water sports and beach bars to more secluded small coves surrounded by mountains that seemingly drop into the sea. Jamaica is one of the most vibrant, captivating and fascinating islands in the Caribbean.
