Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Gloucester Avenue Montego bay, Jamaica





Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville

"Now then!" as the late Sir Jimmy Savile would have said, my attenstion has been brought to another fantastic place for entertainment on the exotic island that is Jamaica. According to a site Go Visit The Caribbean, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville is by far the trendiest place in the Caribbean.

This webmaster (Jimmy's webmaster, not me) is another one that reckons that they are the baddest place to be and that is in Montego Bay’s “Hip Strip,” Gloucester Avenue. Himself tells you that this place is cool for kids and adults and points out that there is a 120ft waterslide! How you keep your G&T from becoming a bit diluted whilst getting dumped at the end of a 120ft shute is a mystery to me.

The guy really is full of himself and drops names like like Bart Simpson drops his pants. P Diddy (How does a cool guy end up with the name of one of Ked Dodd's Puppets? ) other names dropped are Nelly, Run DMC, Tiger Woods, Dennis Hopper..clang! clang! clang!

He really is at it "At night, Club Ville comes alive as the Hottest Nightclub in Western Jamaica" I hope he can live up to "Margaritaville is the most fun this side of Paradise!"

If you have ever been to Margaritaville, send us a note and even some happy snaps, it will be nice to see if this guy was telling the truth or not. In true Blogspot tradition, heres the Link

Island Black Pearl Jamaica Nightclub

Island Black Pearl Nightclub

http://www.islandblackpearlnightclub.com/index.html

I was asked by a friend to find some nightclubs to go on this Jamaica Holidays Blog and so I set about finding some. There is a nightclub called The Island Black Pearl that looks pretty cool I would have ripped some off for you but they have them nailed on. The website has lots of happy snaps of beautiful girls and macho looking guys all out enjoying themselves.

Wish yu wuz ya?

If you read the "About Us" page you will be told the Island Black Pearl is a firm favourite with the tourists in and around Montego Bay, one of the main reasons is that the music is pretty cool, amd with a selection of the following Reggae, Dance music, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop music and Top 100 sounds, you are going to be dancing to at least some of the great sounds you like (Unless of course you are one of those very strange people that's into those two grottypopübermeisters Black Lace! in which case I don't think Jamaicans would stoop so low, even to please the tourists!)

Some very nice ladies having a great time at the Island Black Pearl

Now, the guys who run Island Black Pearl are boasting that this is the best nightclub in Jamaica and with it's three dance floors, including a roof top dance floor, it knocks every other place into a cocked hat.

Not just that, but there is some dude called DJ Laz from the radio station Power 96 who will be performing at least once each month. Island Black Pearl needs to be checked out then, and if anyone has any feedback for me, happy snaps etc, I will post them on here, nothing to raunchy though, someone might be reading this.

Island Black Pearl Nightclub is opened Wednesday to Saturday from 10:00pm to 3:00 am, and Happy Hour is every Thursdays and Fridays from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Heres the website link again but I must warn you that there is some banging music going down so turn the speakers down!!! http://www.islandblackpearlnightclub.com/index.html

Island Black Pearl can be found at Ironshore in Montego Bay, just cup your ears and listen for the sounds and hopefully you won't hear this couple od Super Mulleted music monsters. BLACK LACE!!!

Jamaica Nightlife



Roaming Donkey - A guide to the best places to play in Jamaica

Well, I seem to have done it again, I have found another site with a strange name, one you would not associate with the subject matter.

I was scouring Google for information on the best nightclubs and bars in Jamaica, after all, you want people to know where they should and should not go and where they can find the sort of entetainment they are looking for.

OK, I'm not Albert Einstien but I am not as thick as a Whale sandwhich either. I typed into the Google search bar "Nightlife in Jamaica" and was presented with a list of suitable sites, one of which was aptley named "Nightlife Jamaica" so, click on the link and I see a website with flashing lights, naughty ladies and people enjoying themselves, or one would think that is what I saw.

Nope! I saw a cartoon donkey that was grinning like a WWII Japanese Zero Pilot! A donkey, y'know, "hee-haw, hee-haw!" with a back pack and Jamaica flag.

As it transpires the great and the good at the appropiatley named http://www.nightlifejamaica.com/ have decided to change the name of their website to http://www.roamingdonkey.com/

No matter! It's a great website with oodles of information on it about Jamaica, Jamaica nightlife, where to eat, what to see, what are the top rated bars, clubs etc. This website is a must to anyone who wants to hit the ground running and get into their holiday mood the second they get off the plane.

You can join this site and get first hand information from other site users.

Take a look at the Roaming Donkey website and let me know what you think.

Things Jamaicans Love



Things Jamaicans Love: Music

I have found another fantastic website called Things Jamaicans Love. The site is very funny and you will love it. I do. The site does what it say's on the tin, TJL as we shall know by, is all about those things that Jamaicans do or think of doing, things Jamaicans love to eat, things Jamaicans love to say and lots more.

You are hard pressed to find anything on this Things Jamaican Love website that is not funny or interesting.

The Definitive Guide to Jamaican Table Manners is hilarious. The following is a little extract:
3. Grill your waiter on the menu items and their accompaniments. E.g.“Is local goat or imported mutton? Mi only eat local rammy yuh know.”
“What yuh serve wid di tripe? Rice an peas? Plain rice? Food?
“ Is nuff food yuh get?”
“So I can get curry goat gravy wid di the fry chicken?”
“Is why yuh face screw up so? Yuh work inna restaurant, so mi know seh yuh nuh hungry.”

Take a look at this great site. http://www.thingsjamaicanslove.com/ramblings_2.html

Definitive Guide to Jamaica

The Definitive Guide to Jamaica video presentation

Everyone who reads this Blog (both of you) will know by now that I pillage the Internet for material that will be helpful for anyone thinking of renting a Jamaica Villa or coming to Jamaica for a holiday or a wedding or a family reunion.

Youtube has some great videos, it also has some bad videos but I have found one that is really good. There is a website called the Definitive Caribbean http://www.definitivecaribbean.com/ and they have their own Youtube chanel which has great videos of Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands. The video of Jamaica posted in this Blog is a great representation of Jamaica ina 9 minute video.

If you have a spare 9 minutes, please watch this Jamaica presentation, you will really enjoy it. The lady doing the voice over sounds very nice.

Dunn'a River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

 Dunn's River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

I thought I would give you a treat and bung some videos onto the Blog and so I have scoured Youtube for some decent videos of Jamaica and I came across this video for Dunn's River falls at Ochos Rios (Eight Rivers)

There isn't eight rivers at Ochos Rios, the name is a misnomer, a misinterpretation of the Spanish word "The Waterfalls" Las Chorreros by the British. This was the setting for a rather dodgey Tom Cruise film called "Cocktail" I don't know what was worse, Tom's acting as a cocktail barman cum Romeo/Gigalo or the florid shirts the director made him wear for the film.

Buy hey! here's people enjoying themselves in Jamaica, that's great to see. We also have a great villa here that I would like you to see.

Scotch on the Rocks Villa, Ochos Rios, Jamaica.
