Hi young lady, I am a fan of yours, birth place JA, I live and spend most of my time/life in the UK , I have one thing to say, thank you, thank you, keep it up, OK more than one thing, stay blessed 🙌 DB
Go visit and learn where on the island you'd want to live, then make an application for residency, ask Irine she is knowledgeable about this and more! Careful when wishing?
Wow! Nine years in one of Jamaica's main cities. You're a truly good citizen and to be sharing what you've been sharing, Irina. Your guides/documentaries are truly appreciated.
Once again you have out done yourself. This was an amazing video, I am Jamaican living in Canada and have been to many of the places you highlighted. Your videos should be used by Jamaica Tourist board. Stay bless my Ukrainian Jamaican sister.
Thanks irie for all your interesting videos. I’ve been to Jamaica for 3 weeks . Rented a car and we traveled from port Antonio to black river . We visit lots off thinks on our way like rockland bird sanctuary. Konoko falls. Green grotto caves, all the small things. We had the time off our life best holiday ever. People who read this and want to go to jamaica don’t visit the resorts. You don’t see the real jamaica. Again irie thank you so mutch for all your advice. Greetings from holland
Re glass bottom boats. As a kid growing up in the 70's, I did a lot of snorkeling all over the coast. Back then the underwater views were spectacular, with various shades of corals, urchins, anenomes and schools of reef fish. In 2005 I went snorkeling and glass bottom boating in Ochie and Lime Cay. The difference between 1975 and 2005 was like night and day. The glass bottom boats coud barely see 10 feet deep and the reefs were drab and mostly grey.
Hi Irie, Excellent and timely as ever! I just came from a funeral and you wouldn't believe what was in the back of the church... A recycling depot!!! God works in mysterious ways.
Best decision we did was to rent a car there at some local car rental. We have traveled all over the island and seen things tourists at all inclusive stays would have never seen. Only thing is if you go to Kingston and decide to visit Trench Town and such places, get a guide, taxi drivers can recommend you someone local who will walk you trough that area safely, don't just pop up there on your own with no guide.
Montego bay has 18 beaches! I never knew this..having visited the area for the last 20 years I have only ever visited Doctor cave beach and more recently Harbour beach park. I have missed out on a lot. Thanks so much for the information always appreciated.
Norman Manley beach or 7 Mile Beach... lots of great spots, beach restaurants and bars. North of Negril. We stayed at Footprints, loved the place and service, they have great little bar there for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Another thing you could do is visit Montego Bay Animal Haven to do a hike with the hooligans. They take in stray dogs and have a hike. Supports a great cause!
Am seeing there is a period of success which has been knocking on your door for a very long period of time but you don't know how to open for it in your life. And there are dreams you have been getting at night which you forget when you wake up, some times you hear someone calling you but the voice disappears, and when your in a room alone you always have the feeling that your not alone. And some times you wake up from your sleep in the morning when your feeling tired from no where. And financially, you always gets money but it always passes through your hands without doing what's its supposed to do. And people has been turning onto your back even at the last moments. My spirits are showing me alot about you. There people blocking your luck and wants to destroy your life by sending you evil spirits♨️
Just ONE WEEK Left to GO and Know that paradise 😍😍😍. Can’t wait‼️‼️ it’ll be the fifth country that I get to Know in the caribbean sea after Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and Dominican Republic. Hope Montego bay surprise me. It seems like such a stunning destination
Hello Irina, it's just a local nickname (bottom road) because when coming from the airport way the road splits so you have 1 that goes up to bypass the hip strip (top road) the other passing through the hip strip (bottom road)
Thank you so much for this video I want to come home for independence with my family and I don't know if I should go to Montego Bay or Ocho Rios so I'm looking forward to your next video thank you so so much
You can stay in more than one location. I am a Jamaican living in the USA, but I try to get back home often. When we do, we stay in Ocho Rios (my hometown is nearby, so I spend a couple days there also), then we go to Negril for a few days, then finish out in Montego Bay for a couple days. We usually spend about 12-days when we go. By staying at different locations, we don't have to do a lot of "daily" driving...
Thanks for this….There is so much to do in Montego Bay and a lot of development going on there. Falmouth is coming along but the local government need to do a better job with maintaining certain areas there.
Good day Irina. Love it.. saw 1 or 2 places that I have not been to so plan go when I can.. thanks for share as usual. I just love how you show so much of Jamaica 🇯🇲 😍 to the 🌎 world, so many can see an holistic view of what the country have offer to its national and visitors.
Hi Irina. (by the way, my mom’s name is Irina too:)) Thank you for this video. Finally a good guide to Montego Bay. You are right, most videos mention things to do in Montego Bay, but they cover the whole Jamaica. I booked Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting thanks to your video.
OK this is so nice…… now when yuh going to do a coverage just like this for Negril!!!! and while you’re at it, perhaps let us know if there are any cottages for sale there😆 thanks, patreon
Nice, interesting video Irina. I will definitely share. You explain (and inform) very well. I like all your videos. Moreover, I agree with Nikki Ellis's comment, quote: "At this point, the Jamaican government needs to hire Irie as the Director of Tourism........." Keep up the informative videos. (Of course, I like fun, routine day, unusual, elegant, and family videos too. I watch a variety.) Keep on keeping on💯👍 God bless you🙏 💙💖🤎💚
Very detailed and real review! I did not know how far ricks cafe was. It was promoted like it was 10-20 min away from doctors cave. Glad I can better prepare now since I am going to MB a few months away!
On March 9th,is my birthday.I am 71, officially I will be 72.I use guesthouse.Three meals,no swimming pool.Information desk.Heads up U.S $10 is E.C$26.70.
Hey hey! We will be spending our week and a half at doc's cave. Thanks for the recycling video, when we get there more permanently hopefully, we can be more involved! By the way, fidning jobs there from the states is difficult. Carribean jobs applications don't seem to be taken seriously.
well, looking for a job in Jamaica is not a good idea in general, as to be able to work here you will need a Work Permit. The only way for a Jamaican company to give a work permit to you is if they can prove that there are no Jamaicans who they can hire for this position, while jobs posted at Caribbean jobs are usually for the locals. Therefore one of the reasons why nobody would reply/call back to you is because you're not a Jamaican resident. Jamaica as a country is interested in immigrants who can CREATE jobs for the locals, not the ones who come to take the jobs from them (nothing personal, but just a healthy attitude of any foreign country). Alternatively - skilled professionals who can come to do the jobs that locals can't do (or there is a shortage of them) are also welcomed. For example,. we have a lack of doctors and IT professionals, so any doctors or IT professionals from any country can get a Work Permit to work in Jamaica. However, such jobs won't be posted online - you need to contact companies directly to see if they are looking for such skilled personal. I hope this information helps!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE 😁 I watched all you videos. I knew this going in. The problem I have, I guess, is especially in the resorts. Certain retail, it would be very benefits to have somebody that can communicate clearly with customers, clients, guests. I'm willing to start my own business, and I have ideas. However, If an international style company, and I've seen the job postings, can say I can work from home. I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't matter if I'm from Jamaica or from the United States. Like I understand completely the whole concept of hiring local first. But all I read in loop news and other publications is that they're trying to expand Visas or Jamaicans to go to the United States or overseas to get jobs. You would think they could lighten or loosen the reigns a little bit to allow some of us who actually want to be there and live there to find work a little more easily. Irena I love everything you do here I appreciate you and I thank you.
Montego Bay is a nice place to visit the Airport is beautiful, however the traffic in Montego Bay is horrific especially when leaving the airport the government needs to invest more into roads especially the amount of tourists who visited Montego Bay each year
I agree. Unfortunately, roads and traffic can be horrible in other parts of the Island as well. However, the "space" for wider roads is lacking in the cities...so, not much the "Government" can do about the traffic itself. Kingston is even worse...and even Ocho Rios and Lucea are horrendous at certain times of the day...then again, I've travelled to other countries (Thailand, India, etc) where the traffic there, makes Jamaica seem like a race course...LOL...
Your videos are amazing! We are from CANADA and will be visiting Falmouth for the first week of March. I always love to bring Canadian treats for the hotel staff ect. However is there anything that is appreciated more than candy/treats. ?? As well we have taken a gift of school supplies as appreciation for sharing your lovely country, can I do this ? And where would I take it ? I hope you see this before we go!
That was an excellent video. I have been to Montego Bay to many times to say an that would make me want to go again. Can I add, that you could include a visit to Sam Sharpe Square and the Museum
Hello, thanks for making this great content! There seems to be a dearth of information on tourism in Jamaica, and your channel is more than filling the void. I'm visiting in April, and was wondering if you have any tips on Negril and Ocho Rios as well. Thanks in advance if you manage to reply. And keep carrying on with the great videos!

This was helpful. So basically I should only plan to sleep in Montego Bay and spend my days in another city.
Honesty is the Key to this Channel. Never to be compared to other channels...........

I’ll be visiting Jamaica in under 3 months and I watch your videos to help me decide what I need to do I can’t wait to come😊
How was it??
Hi Irie, Excellent and timely as ever! I just came from a funeral and you wouldn't believe what was in the back of the church... A recycling depot!!! God works in mysterious ways.
👍🏾 GREATNESS AND ALWAYS THANKFUL FOR PROMOTING YOUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND 🏝 YOU THE BEST CONTINUE WITH YOUR BLESSINGS
Harmony Beach Park used to be Dump It Beach.
Hi Irina and thanks (from Wintery France) for all this tremendous informative and delightful work you bring for year now.
Loved this , I am coming in June for 11 nights to Montego Bay and this will be my second visit to this amazing country. Great work irina 👍🇯🇲

@@aleksionas True dat. I did exactly that 5 years ago in Kingston. Amazing!
I love that you do tours. I will be a customer soon
Montego bay has 18 beaches! I never knew this..having visited the area for the last 20 years I have only ever visited Doctor cave beach and more recently Harbour beach park. I have missed out on a lot. Thanks so much for the information always appreciated.
Yep, we have dead end, old hospital, rosehall etc
Love these videos. Heading back to Negril in July. You should do a Top 15 things to do in Negril.
Norman Manley beach or 7 Mile Beach... lots of great spots, beach restaurants and bars. North of Negril. We stayed at Footprints, loved the place and service, they have great little bar there for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Another thing you could do is visit Montego Bay Animal Haven to do a hike with the hooligans. They take in stray dogs and have a hike. Supports a great cause!
Great video, thanks for making it. Montego Bay was the only place I got any real hassle. Nothing dangerous, but it wasn't as relaxed as Ocho Rios.
Hey IRIE blessings and nuff love and respect
Glistening Waters is a must see. There's a restaurant there as well. Ambiance is great
I hope that Caribbean will by my next stop
Blessings Irena. I only have one question. Who does your soundtracks? They are really really awesome. 👍🏾🙏🏽

Irina I was there in mobay. I 2022. 2 day. Nice place love it. Me went to the park Nice Jamaica my place. In Albany NY now
Just ONE WEEK Left to GO and Know that paradise 😍😍😍. Can’t wait‼️‼️ it’ll be the fifth country that I get to Know in the caribbean sea after Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and Dominican Republic. Hope Montego bay surprise me. It seems like such a stunning destination
How is it so far??
Hello Irina, it's just a local nickname (bottom road) because when coming from the airport way the road splits so you have 1 that goes up to bypass the hip strip (top road) the other passing through the hip strip (bottom road)
yep, that's correct :) I'm letting the tourists know, because that's the name they would hear when talking to route taxis.
Thank you so much for this video I want to come home for independence with my family and I don't know if I should go to Montego Bay or Ocho Rios so I'm looking forward to your next video thank you so so much

Gloucester Avenue was renamed Jimmy Cliff Boulevard. You are also correct that in saying the locals call it "Bottom Road".
Nikki Ellis:
I fully agree with your comments. Irie is very informative ...I have learned so much about Ja from her.😎👍
thank you so much this exactly what i needed to see before booking
glad we could help! :)))
Well put together again, Irina, Montego bay is where I lived before I migrated as a child.
Every time I think I’ve seen it all in Jamaica. Definitely have Glistening Waters in my sights
Gloucester Avenue was renamed in 2019 to Jimmy Cliff Boulevard by the Government.
I don't know how you capture such great footages. Superb job.
Great information irina, as always 👍 thank you
Thanks for this….There is so much to do in Montego Bay and a lot of development going on there. Falmouth is coming along but the local government need to do a better job with maintaining certain areas there.
