The Caribbean island is full of rainforests, beaches and mountains. They have a tropical climate so it is usually pretty warm with some humidity. But the weather is always nice enough to venture out and do some sightseeing, and not just at the reef-lined beaches.
One great thing about Jamaica is that you will not need to learn another language to communicate and get around because the primary language used on the island is English. All of the locals are very friendly and are happy to help tourists around since tourism is a huge part of the island’s economy.
The music in Jamaica is great too. Reggae and Ska are very popular in Jamaica; so going out dancing is highly encouraged. The nightlife is always rocking in Jamaica and there are plenty of bars to check out. What better way to end a day of sightseeing and lounging on the beach than partying all night with locals and other tourists?
