Jamaica Villas - Scuba Diving vacations in Jamaica Villas

 
 
Quite often I’m asked “what exactly does one do on a Jamaica vacation when one rents a villa at Sur Mer in Negril” and my answer as always is “One does exactly as one please!” maybe not as eloquently as that but you catch my drift.
Jamaica is a marvelous place for everything outdoors, from lazing in the shade on a sun kissed beach, to sitting in a beach bar and watch the waves pound the beach, whizz around on a speedboat or ski jet or take the more sedate Glass Bottom Boat tour, you catch fly through the forest on a Zip Line, visit the Bob Marley museum, go an nature rambles and visit historical sites..There are endless activities and renting your own Jamaica villa you decide your own itinerary.
 
One thing though really is a must and that is to go snorkel or scuba diving. The Caribbean Sea is home to the most exotic and beautiful sea life as well as brilliant and exciting wrecks of all shape and sizes and scuba diving off Negril is highly recommended. To give you an idea of what to expect, I found this fantastic scuba diving video for you to check out.
 
Check out the Villas Sur Mer Tourist Attractions website page for scuba diving and other great activities.

Jamaica Villas Blue Waters Ocho Rios


 
Looks Cool. Blue Waters Villa
When you are considering a vacation to Jamaica there is one property that really deserves your attention and that is Villa Blue Waters close to Ocho Rios (Eight Rivers) on the north coast of the island of Jamaica, close to great tourist attractions such as Dunne’s River Falls, James Bond Beach, Discovery Bay and many more beautiful and exotic places.
Charming Blue Waters is like a tiny jewel set in the exclusive, gated community of Old Fort Bay just outside of Ocho Rios. The villa is just a few minutes’ walk from one of the prettiest beaches on the island. Blue Waters offers four air-conditioned bedrooms and 4 baths. The interiors are comfortably and tastefully furnished with a mixture of island rattan. Outside, there is a large furnished patio overlooking the lush grounds and expansive private swimming pool.
Take a closer look at Blue Waters from the main Luxury Arrivals website. Villa Blue Waters, Jamaica.

Holidays to Jamaica - How many people visit Jamaica?

From this bar graph we can see the answer is 'Lots'
 
I have never been one for red tape or gobbledygook but sometimes you really have to bite the bullet and get in there and take it on the chin. Your thinking I have gone mad, I’m sure you are but what I am getting at is statistics, you know, that mass of numbers, percentages, graphs and squiggly lines that are suppose to enlighten us but really only add to the confusion. There is an old proverb that likens statistics as a lamp post to a drunk, there more for support than acumination.

Anyway, I, being a great fan of the beautiful paradise island of Jamaica was interested in how many people actually visited the country during the course of any given period and so I went sniffing about on the Internet to see what I could find.

To be honest, I found a lot of very dull websites with even duller content, masses of graphs and serious looking people try their best to look serious and so in the end I resorted to one of my own favourite websites for information, the Jamaica Observer!

For the period January 1 to August 31 this year, Jamaica welcomed a total of 2.09 million visitors which netted the country US$1.5 billion. Speaking at the official opening ceremony of the 21st Jamaica Product Exchange (JAPEX) tourism trade show, minister of tourism Edmund Bartlett said:

There is a great amount of interesting (?) information regarding the tourism numbers to Jamaica, who is spending what and where, which other islands are getting more visits and a load of other stuff you may want to use in your repertoire of barstool anecdotes or after dinner musings to keep guests or friends interested (You may however wish to hide any sharp objects.)

There really are just a couple of real hard facts to take notice of;
Jamaica is a very beautiful island that attracts millions of visitors every year and continues to do so.
 
Jamaica is one of the favourite destinations for tropical weddings.
 
Jamaica has no venomous snakes or spiders.
 
The next question is where would I advise all of these people to go and stay or have a tropical wedding in Jamaica? I’m happy to say I have a much uncomplicated answer:

Jamaica weddings and Honeymoons, Special Occasions and Reunions you are making a perfectly sound choice with www.villassurmer.com in beautiful Negril.

For Jamaica vacations in all other parts of Jamaica and the Caribbean islands then www.luxuryarrivals.com is the company to look after you.
Visit both these websites and you will see for yourself why these are two of the most popular Jamaica villas and weddings companies in the Caribbean.

Jamaica Villas in Negril - Villas Sur Mer Villas and Cottages


 
Walk through video of Villas Sur Mer in Negril, Jamaica
 
Map of Jamaica with Negril on the west tip.


As is normal for me, I was surfing the Internet looking for interesting snippets for Villas Sur Mer, villas and cottages in the Negril area of Jamaica and I came across a great walk through video made by my good friend and fellow BloggerKristi Keller. Kristi has a delightful Blog all about Jamaica, Jamaica towns and villages, Jamaica culture and heritage and much more, the Blog is  called Jamaica My Way and is a mine of fantastic information about Jamaica and includes the video I have ‘borrowed’ for Sur Mer Villas and Cottages in Negril.
Where in Jamaica is Negril? Well, as you can see from the map the town of Negril is on the western tip of the island of Jamaica facing towards the Gulf of Mexico and the Isthmus of Panama and ideally placed to take full advantage of Montego Bay airport which is just a short drive away, as indeed are all the bright lights and tourist sites, cultural and heritage sites of interest and some of the best snorkeling, diving, surfing and all sorts of other fantastic water sports.
 
This is why Villas Sur Mer and Negril are such a great deal, you get the very best of what Jamaica has to offer, from peace and serenity with fantastic views of the Caribbean Sea to the vivid sites and bright lights of the hottest tourist locations in the Caribbean at Montego Bay, and you really are spoilt for choice.
 
Take a good look at the Sur Mer Villas and Cottages at Negril and see what a fantastic location it is, and then visit my friend Kristi’s site for all the information on Negril, Montego Bay and Jamaica.

Jamaica Villas - Villa Fleming, Goldeneye, Oracabessa, Jamaica

Villa Fleming at Goldeneye, Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica
 

Fleming Villa (named after it's owner and auther of the James Bond novels, Sir Ian Fleming) is like an island unto itself. If you are ooking for privacy on your vacation to Jamaica then Fleming Villa (along with its satellite cottages, Pool House and Sweet Spot) is all about privacy.

Do you fancy your own beach—and, of course, your own pool, gardens, and staff. Walk over to Golden Eye for a spa treatment, for sunset cocktails at the Bizot Bar, for dinner at the Gazebo. Walk back to Fleming Villa and, again, you're secluded. Removed from it all.

Really, it's the best of all worlds—and, the very best of ours.

Of course, there's the history that comes with this delightful villa. Sir Ian Fleming, and his character, Bond. James Bond along with the despicable characters, especially Dr. No. If these walls could talk they'd tell tales of artists and writers, spies and seducers. The romantic atmosphere is palpable.

Easter Holidays in Jamaica - Easter Bun and Cheese

Easter Bun; Make your own.
 
Easter is a time more associated with the giving and receiving of great big chocolate Easter eggs, or so it would seem. The whole religious element seems to have been made redundant in some places around the world and been replaced by Mr. Cadbury and his hoards of chocolate making monsters.
Some place though have ingrained traditions, such as Spain and those colonies from Spanish occupation, these places still have great big parades of people wearing brotherhood robes of different colours, the penitents wearing the white robes and conical head dress, parading with burning candles could well be mistaken for Ku Klux Klan members but they are all celebrating Easter in their way.

Jamaica has long standing traditions celebrating Easter and one I came across is Easter Bun and Cheese which, according to an excellent  Blog called ‘Stunner’s Afflictions’  is a great favourite of the kids in Jamaica and around the Caribbean islands. Take a look at this blog and see what your missing and if you are thinking of joining us in Jamaica over Easter either with Luxury Arrivals or Villas Sur Mer in Negril, then you want to make sure you get your  share of the is Jamaican delight.
You could also take a look at the Jamaica Gleaner, there is a great article on Easter Bun and Cheese with some replies that are typical and topical. Jamaica Gleaner
