Resorts in Jamaica

The resorts in Jamaica have something special to offer the tourists. All are located either right by the beach or in the middle of a tropical forest. Many have their own private beaches with activities to keep you busy for a lifetime. Negril is by far the most popular destination, both for its lovely beaches and for the nightlife. Plus it offers easy access to a lot of the island’s attractions.

Tourist season

The island’s climate is tropical, with temperatures averaging 30°C (86°F) during the days and 20°C (68°F) during the nights all year round. However, Jamaica is right in the hurricane belt which means hurricanes can hit it pretty badly during the wet season – June to October.

The high season lasts between mid-December and mid-April, when resorts charge the highest prices. During Christmas, New Year and Easter many resorts charge peak season prices.
