JAMAICA
"Jamaica has a way of nestling into your mind, heart and soul." Every day is a day of discoveries to share and unabashed fun in the sun. Simultaneously sophisticated and simple, it is the largest English speaking island in the Caribbean and offers more exciting honeymoon experiences to share than you can fit into one trip. Most couples leave planning their anniversary trip for next year.Go in any direction from lively, beach lined Negril on the West and tranquil, laid back Port Antonio on the East to bustling Montego Bay and chic Ocho Rios in the North and you'll find yourselves surrounded by the kind of opulent tropical beauty that travel brochures promise but seldom deliver. It is one of the few islands to be dotted with palm shaded mountains. Just about anywhere, you can stop to enjoy the lush landscape and savor a cup of the delicious rich coffee that is grown on their slopes.
Some of the Caribbean's very best resorts sprawl out along the sparkling white beaches. After all, this is where today's popular All Inclusive resorts were born and some of the world's finest can be found right here.
Water sports abound, everything from deep sea fishing to river rafting, and the island also has a handful of internationally known championship golf courses. There's enough to keep you starstruck all day long. Just make sure to leave time to relax and let the warm Jamaican sun bathe the two of you in honeymoon happiness.
Here's a list of great things to do in Jamaica based on user reviews from around the web.
