Jamaica is paradise on earth – there is no other way to describe it! Full of rich history and culture, wonderful people, fantastic beaches and a colourful environment, we are sure that your holiday experience will hold a place in your fondest memories.

Locally, (all within an hour’s or so’s drive) there is plenty to see and do.. here are some of the favourites!

YS FallsYS Falls
The most dramatic set of waterfalls in Jamaica. Eight 'falls' reaching heights of 120 feet..... Invigorate yourself by sitting in the waterfalls, or lounge around in the beautiful tropical surroundings where the owners have recently built a natural swimming pool, fed by river water to complement the waterfalls. Click the link www.ysfalls.com for more information

Treasure BeachTreasure Beach
For those looking for an 'off the beaten track' experience, you can find it at Treasure Beach. A series of sleepy fishing villages, dotted with a few small hotels, villas and guesthouses, nestled together on Jamaica's south coast. You will find deserted beaches, authentic food and friendly people..... and oh.... women with donkeys wandering up and down the beach selling mangos and pineapples!!
Appleton EstateAppleton Estate
Take a journey through time and experience how the world's finest rum is made. Discover why prime Jamaican rum was, in times past, worthy of a King's Ransom. And of course, get to taste all of the different types of rums and rum creams!!!!

Ride out with 'Ted' or one of the other local fishermen... they will show you the delights of the south coast from the sea, and with luck you will spot wild dolphins, flying fish and sea turtles. Stop off for a cold drink at a bar in the middle of the sea and then take a trip down the Black River, crocodile spotting!!... Or you could just go fishing!!
