3. Jamaica
• Jamaica's rich history stretches back beyond the 15th century, and includes
the settlements of the gentle Arawak Indians (who named the island
Xaymaca), Spanish mariners, English conquerors, and Asian migrants, all of
whom added to the multi-ethnic heritage of this Caribbean island. Modern
Jamaica is the land of reggae and rum, wearing a mantle of roughshod
romance that attracts travelers the world over looking to escape the routine
of daily life. The landscape is a mosaic of palmed golden beaches and a
beautiful mountainous interior.
• Once the crown jewel of the British sugar empire, its coastal plains and lofty
jungles are still dotted with colonnaded mansions, thriving plantations, and
ruins of others that did not survive the slave rebellions. Many of the
remaining mansions are now opulent inns flanked not only by the sugar
fields, but also by golf courses, while the beaches that once harbored
ruthless, notorious pirates now harbor vacationers seeking the perfect tan.
And you'll note that music is the heartbeat of Jamaica; nearly everywhere
you go you feel its rhythm pulsing through the air, the marketplaces, through
the locals and, soon enough, through you. For vacationers with a free and
festive spirit, Jamaica is your place to shine!

5. Ocho Rios, Jamaica
• Christopher Columbus called it "the fairest land my eyes have ever
seen." Located in the center of the north coast, its deep-water
harbor serves as a cruise port with a dramatic mountain backdrop.
Pleasant beaches, several outstanding hotels, a varied nightlife,
scuba diving, good shopping, and spas offer visitors the full-range
of luxury resort activities. Nearby are the Dunn's River Falls,
Jamaica's most famous attraction, where you climb steps carved
in stone as a cascading river pours down them!
• Ocho Rios is reached via the Montego Bay airport and then a
comfortable transfer to your hotel. Resorts on the North Coast
are between 40 and 75 minutes away; whereas hotels located
farther east in Ocho Rios are a 2-hour ride away. Once there,
you'll immediately settle into the island way of life and where
everything is "no problem.

25. Sandals Grande Riviera
• Examples of what a Sandals Butler can do for you:
• There was a guest who requested to have breakfast on their balcony each morning.
On the last day before their departure the butler located a ladder, climbed up to
their balcony (on the third floor) and laid breakfast out. Then called the guest and
asked them to open their balcony door. They were speechless when the saw the
butler on the balcony with breakfast elegantly arranged for them.
• A guest went sailing every day, they always brought Red Stripe out with them.
Knowing that they would be out of beers soon the butler got the rescue boat and
bought an additional cooler of beers for them while they were still sailing.
• A guest had booked a candlelight dinner, however the weather did not permit them
to dine on the beach. The guest was quite disappointed about this and wondered
what they will do. The butler booked a spa treatment and they went to the spa.
While they were at the spa the butler re-arranged their suite, elegantly arranged the
table, got some bags and covered them with sand. The butler also had some glow in
the dark stars and hung them from the ceiling, played a CD with ocean sounds and
placed palm trees around the table. When the guest returned from the spa they
could not believe that they were standing in their room. They had a wonderful
evening dining in the privacy of their suite with the feeling they were right on the
beach.

view, you may have an obstructed view of the ocean through the trees.
• -The villas are split into 3 or 4 separate accommodations. You will share a
pool with the other guests in the villa.
• -Having a butler is an awesome experience for your vacation and this is an
incredible price for it. The butler will do just about anything you ask!
• -This resort has good nightlife and has romantic fire pits throughout.
• -Located near Dunns' River Falls, a water fall you can climb. Also near a
