It's easy to find an all inclusive vacation in Jamaica but the majority are for families. That is fine for people with children and a fine for those who do not mind having children around their resort. Many couples with adult children, enjoy being freed from the demands of family vacations. The last thing these couples want is to have to spend their holidays with the children of others to around instead of theirs.
There are however, several very good couples only vacation resorts in Jamaica that can be booked on an all-inclusive. Three are owned of the same company and are called "partners." One is in Negril, one in Sans Souci and the other in Ocho Rios. We have enjoyed a glorious day of vacation sixteen couples, Ocho Rios a few years ago. Being naturists, who were attracted to this hotel because it has a clothing optional installation in the form of a small island, a hundred meters from the hotel opposite the main beach. The island is served by a lovely pool bar and a boat to take to return at any time you want throughout the day. Most of the island is covered with decking on which sun loungers and hammocks are designed to provide guests with comfortable seating. There are exactly the amount of coconut palms to provide bathers with a perfect combination of sun and shade throughout the day. The island is an idyllic place to do nothing all holiday except sunbathe, swim and enjoy drinks and snacks at the bar in the pool. But even fanatical sun lovers like us will want to take some time and see a bit of Jamaica during their stay.
Without any doubt the most enjoyable excursion for us was a raft trip on the Rio Grande, the river more throughout Jamaica, ranging from the Blue Mountains in the ocean. Tours organized by the hotel, will begin with a fascinating trip to Port Antonio coach, who flock to the famous Blue Lagoon along the road. This was the scene of the movie Castaway and indeed is the most beautiful and peaceful place where I could never want to swim in. Do not wait a beach though. The Blue Lagoon has one and beach scenes of the movie were filmed elsewhere.
The starting point of rafting is Berridale, six miles road and about three hours on a raft in the sea. The rafts are thirty-two feet long and constructed from bamboo poles tied. The area covered has a seat two passengers while in the stern a dreadlocked boatman, was found later and directs the raft with a long bamboo pole.
You are taken at a slow pace for the Most of the road, occasionally increasing the speed to cross stretches of the river that could be described as minor rapids. The boatman provides its own constant entertainment brand, counting many outlandish yarns about the rich and famous people who have carried on their raft or performing some of you favorite Bob Marley.
The photo opportunities are virtually endless journey. Just as some beautiful scenery and wildlife in the form of vultures and other exotic birds, your browser also creates many images worth as a way to break the poles of the raft, guiding it through its course difficult. There is always a colorful tropical plants to admire on the banks of the river and your guide is most eager to tell their local names and provide interesting stories or folklore of their uses or associations.
Along the way, is passed other rafts sale of refreshments and the boatman will suggest that you stop so you can buy one or two of Red Stripe beer or some trinket souvenirs. It is also likely that invite you to take a bath in a special part of the invitation of the river, where it is perfectly safe to do so.
The big advantage of going on a trip arranged by the hotel is that to reach its destination at St Margarets Bay, your coach is expected of you. If the self-organized trip that would have to find some way to pick up again Berridale your car up.
Just as rafting, there are many wonderful places to visit and things to do in Jamaica, but if you prefer not to hike full of children and want to enjoy your holidays as exclusively couples only experience, my best travel advice is to book your vacation in one of the "couples" All Inclusive Hotels. The best time to go is between December and April when the weather in Jamaica is at its best and the waters of the Rio Grande are not too swollen or fast.
