First Sentence
Most visitors already have a mental picture of Jamaica before they arrive: its boisterous culture of reggae and Rastafarianism; its white sandy beaches; and its lush foliage, rivers, mountains, and clear waterfalls. Read the first page

This review is from: Frommer's Jamaica (Paperback)
The book has good info and history etc... a little outdated though. No colour pictures just black and white. Seller shipped slow. Took a long time to get here.

The ultimate honeymoon guide.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's Jamaica, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I recently got married and this guide was all I needed to find the best of Jamaica. With its section on the Best of Jamaica, I was given the top choices for everything from the best beaches, honeymoon resorts, romantic getaways, shopping buys, and gold courses. This guide made planning my trip simple, with all the information I needed to know before I got there, like the exchange rate, the calendar of events, and tips on dining out and shopping.

Don't bother if you already have the 2nd edition,
By Mary E. Hurley "Mary Hurley" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frommer's Jamaica, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I very much liked the 2nd edition of this text. I purchased the 3rd edition because we are planning our third trip to Jamaica. Unfortunately, this new edition contains very little updated information. In fact, two of the newer Riu hotels in Negril (one of which opened in 2001) are not even included in this guide.This is a very helpful guidebook, but don't bother buying the new edition if you already have the 2nd edition. You can find as much useful information online. 18 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Great tool for sifting through the options,
By UsrX "UsrX" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frommer's Jamaica (Paperback)
I grew up in Jamaica, but never really took advantage of the "tourist stuff" while there (who does that at home?). I found this book very helpful for sifting through all the many things the island had to offer and targeting the best (and most reasonably priced) restaurants, hotels, etc. on my last visit.Only thing they missed, like most reviews, is the cultural differences across the island. Just like Arkansas and New York don't have the same culture, accent, terms, etc., the same is true of different regions in Jamaica. |
