The full-colour introduction includes the ''Things Not To Miss'' section with photographs of the island''s highlights from the Bob Marley Museum in bustling Kingston to rafting the Rio Grande. The guide contains detailed and discriminating reviews of the best accommodation, restaurants, bars and cafes - and the latest spots to catch the hottest reggae and dancehall.

Our travel reading was limited to Frommer's, Moon, and Lonely Planet. After reading the reviews on this new source, we bit. I'm convinced the author's relatives must have provided the "positive" comments!
This guide might be helpful to the Jamaican backpacker who desires the "$8 a day experience." If your desire is the more upscale visit, we suggest your choice of guides from the tried and proven professionals listed above.
 Learn the Truth! February 13, 2008
This book is by far the best....it is full of very important information. If you like to travel off the beaten path, this one's a must own!

A good all around Jamaica travel guide. Add to it the following: 1] DO NOT rent a car and drive in Jamaica. 2] The locals drive like banshees, death or dismemberment on the highways is common. 3] there are numerous drivers willing to take you around cheaper than you can hire a car with insurance and they give out great tips and advice 4] There are no roadsigns you will get lost, then try to find gas stations and the Jamaician Police write lots of tickets--especially to tourists who are expected to pay in cash roadside.

I bought this book for our move to Jamaica, chronicled at JamaicaMAX.com, because I wanted to have the most up to date guide for our travels. My last experience with a guide was wiht a book over 5 years old and the iformation was nearly useless. This book has some great features and tips and thus far everything has been very accurate. It's been a lot of fun in Jamaica for the last 6 months and this book made it so much nicer.

This book was absolutely indispensable on my first trip to the fascinating island of Jamaica. All sections of the island are thoroughly covered, including recommendations for lodging, restaurants, and the multitude of places to visit.
This is a must-buy guide to anyone traveling to Jamaica for the first time or the tenth.
