Jamaica, a Caribbean island nation, has a lush topography of mountains, rainforests and reef-lined beaches. Many of its all-inclusive resorts are clustered in Montego Bay, with its British-colonial architecture, and Negril, known for its diving and snorkeling sites. Jamaica is famed as the birthplace of reggae music, and its capital Kingston is home to the Bob Marley Museum, dedicated to the famous singer.

What month is best to visit Jamaica?
For dry, sunny weather and comfortable temperatures, you should consider travelling from mid-December to mid-April. If you are seeking fewer crowds, however, there is typically good weather from April to May and November to December (noting that the rainy and hurricane seasons run from May to November and June to November, respectively)
What not to do in Jamaica as a tourist?
For your own safety and security, it is advisable to stay within your resort at night as crime rates are higher in parts of areas such as Kingston, Negril, and Montego Bay. Also aim to avoid walking alone in unpopulated areas, and do not go looking for drugs (marijuana is illegal and possession can lead to fines)
