​Have you recently booked a romantic getaway or family vacation to Jamaica? Jamaica is a wonderful vacation destination with natural views and fascinating cultural experiences, and your travel agent can help you choose the top destinations for your trip. As you begin packing for your time of tropical relaxation, you can look forward to experiencing:

Great Music
Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae music, so expect to hear a lot of steel drums during your travelling. Part of vacationing in a new country is being immersed in the local culture, and reggae music is an essential aspect of the Jamaican identity. Ask your travel agent about concerts and events happening in Jamaica during your stay. The variations of reggae music include rock, ska, and traditional reggae. Attend a reggae concert in Jamaica for a unique experience that you and your loved ones will remember for a lifetime!

Delicious Cuisine
Another wonderful aspect of vacationing in a different country is dining on the unique cuisine. You may frequently see Jamaican Jerk Chicken listed on restaurant menus, but there is nothing like tasting authentic Jamaican cuisine! The Jerk seasoning enhances the smoky flavors of any meat you choose for dinner or lunch. You may even enjoy the seasoning enough to purchase it for your own use at home! Being located so close to the ocean is also ideal, because you can enjoy oceanfront restaurants that serve fresh fish.

Taxi Transportation
To get around the island on your Jamaican vacation, expect to hail many taxis. Although car rentals are available through Brentwood Travel, it’s most convenient for tourists to use taxis during their stay. Travelling on the Jamaican roads can be confusing, especially because vehicles drive on the opposite side of the road. The best solution for your travels to the ocean or nearby restaurants is to walk or hail a Jamaican taxi.
