Jamaica hotels
Jamaica hotels range from small intimate properties with private villas to anything-goes all-inclusive resorts. Montego Bay (usually referred to as MoBay) has many beachfront hotels, like the rowdy Sandals Montego Bay. The Rose Hall section is where you'll find resorts like the Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall and the Rose Hall Resort. Solis The Palmyra, a 300-room resort with an ESPA spa, is set to open right on the water in Rose Hall in Fall 2009. The big all-inclusives in Negril like Couples Swept Away and Sandals Negril are right on the sand, but be aware that some of the town's other hotels, like Rockhouse and Tensing Pen, are set on cliffs above the water and are a shuttle-ride from the beach. Ocho Rios, on the north-central coast, has a high concentration of hotels (both high-rise and small) including the sprawling Royal Plantation, but these days it bustles with hundreds of day-trippers from cruise ships. The most fashionable hotels in Jamaica are part of Island Outpost, a hotel group that includes Goldeneye (the estate where Ian Fleming wrote many James Bond novels), The Caves in Negril and Strawberry Hill in Irish Town, as well as Geejam on the northeast coast in Port Antonio and Jake's on the south coast near Treasure Beach.
