      Yes, I left the UK and have been living here for over 4 years. I have family here and absolutely love Jamaica. Jamaica gets so much negative press, but trust me. Travellers are comimg from all over the world and having an amazing time. The people are hospitable, the beaches, Mountains and food are second to none and the culture , museums and galleries are amazing. 🇯🇲 ❤

    Several years ago I visited Barbadoes and low and behold a friend took me to a lady's yard and the dogs started to bark alot, anyways she tied them up and stated to enter and there was a large Ackee tree and she told me that's Jamaican fruit we don't consume it; had you showed up the week before you would have gotten so much to bring back to the US, that was a shocker to find it in one of the parishes on the island that was awesome.

    The all inclusive resorts are some of the attractions that really elevates Jamaica. Have you ever been inside moon palace in Ocho Rios or Bahia principe your mind would be blown . Jamaica is king of all all inclusive resorts in the world . If you've ever experienced

    • @InfoSpectrum876
      @InfoSpectrum876 4 месяца назад

      So true. And it's funny that you said that, because even though it was Club Med that came up with All-inclusives, they weren't really "all" inclusive. It was Jamaica that did the first really all-inclusives and even took it to another level.

      New Kingston is in St. Andrew. It is bordered by Half-Way-Tree Road, Arthur Wint Drive, Mountain View Avenue, Hope Road, and Old Hope Road. You're already in New Kingston when you're at Emancipation Park, or the Wyndham Hotel. So if you're coming from downtown Kingston, you would pass through Cross Roads and Half-Way-Tree before getting to New Kingston. Kingston (a city and a parish) and St. Andrew are two seperate parishes, but for administrative purposes they were amalgamated to form the Kingston & St. Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC).

      Kingston is the cultural mecca of Jamaica, but with travel advisories being issued by other countries, travellers rarely visit Kingston and instead opt to stay in all-inclusive resorts on North Coast.

Haiti as the most mountainous landscape in the Caribbean. Haiti as a lot to offer to the world however if haiti mentality doesn't change now . Haiti will only get worst with over 12 million people wow but it's possible with intervention . But haiti looks nothing like Jamaica. Both country as it's good and its bad but Jamaica is far more developed than haiti in every regard. That's the truth.
