The Best Vacation to date!

Montego Bay Jamaica is a great vacation in the sun. The water here in magical and relaxing to swim in, the people out side the gates of the resort are very friendly and full of interesting stories about the real culture. Wonderful shopping here, there are so many types of crafts the locals create, from dresses and very detailed carvings. The Jamaicans have a saying, " You only need to be in Jamaica 5 minutes to be Jamaican" they make you feel very welcome. So enjoy as we did!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Great place to vacation and the beautiful water.

I tried calling them - nothing but static ont heir phone line. And I tried emailing them but the emails came back with notices saying the emails no longer existed.... sounded like a cool thing to try but if they don't want our business, what can we do?

I'm not trying to sound insulting but it seems you're not from a big city. Being from London I found driving in Montego Bay to be okay. The only problem I found is the instant the light goes green the guy behind beeps. I'm talking a fraction of a second!

How much fun is that? Dolphin Cove looks like a great place. Were the animals treated well and with respect? Thanks for a lovely trip around Jamaica. Kat
