Product Description:
The Rough Guide to Jamaica is the complete guide to the Caribbean''s liveliest island. The full-colour introduction includes the ''Things Not To Miss'' section with photographs of the island''s highlights from the Bob Marley Museum in bustling Kingston to rafting the Rio Grande. The guide contains detailed and discriminating reviews of the best accommodation, restaurants, bars and cafes - and the latest spots to catch the hottest reggae and dancehall. There is informed coverage of Kingston and the major resorts of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril, as well as the lesser-known beaches in Portland and the south. Expert advice and practical tips are given on everything from where to watch the cliff divers at Negril to finding secluded waterfalls and mineral baths.

I purchased this book for my sister in law who is visiting Jamaica this year. I read through the book after recieving it and was a little disappointed. It did not offer as much helpful info as I had wished. Some of the info it offered I didn't think was very applicable. Not a bad book, just wish I purchased a different one.

Our travel reading was limited to Frommer's, Moon, and Lonely Planet. After reading the reviews on this new source, we bit. I'm convinced the author's relatives must have provided the "positive" comments!
This guide might be helpful to the Jamaican backpacker who desires the "$8 a day experience." If your desire is the more upscale visit, we suggest your choice of guides from the tried and proven professionals listed above.

This book is by far the best....it is full of very important information. If you like to travel off the beaten path, this one's a must own!

A good all around Jamaica travel guide. Add to it the following: 1] DO NOT rent a car and drive in Jamaica. 2] The locals drive like banshees, death or dismemberment on the highways is common. 3] there are numerous drivers willing to take you around cheaper than you can hire a car with insurance and they give out great tips and advice 4] There are no roadsigns you will get lost, then try to find gas stations and the Jamaician Police write lots of tickets--especially to tourists who are expected to pay in cash roadside.

I bought this book for our move to Jamaica, chronicled at JamaicaMAX.com, because I wanted to have the most up to date guide for our travels. My last experience with a guide was wiht a book over 5 years old and the iformation was nearly useless. This book has some great features and tips and thus far everything has been very accurate. It's been a lot of fun in Jamaica for the last 6 months and this book made it so much nicer.
