Tours to Jamaica on New Year will take you to a colorful world under the tropical sun, full of carelessness and fun. Lush vegetation, azure waves of the ocean, gold sandy beaches - excellent scenery, in which the New Year holidays will be held according to the best scenario!
During this period, the average air temperature during the day is +25 degrees, at night +20 +22, and the water temperature is +24 +26 degrees, rains are unlikely.
The most famous resorts- Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril - will offer their travelers comfortable hotels, excellent service and all kinds of entertainment. "No problem!" is the real motto of this reggae island.
On the new year holidays you should definitely enjoy the exotic cuisine here. You should definitely try juices from exotic fruits, coconut milk straight from the nut, Jamaican rum and the world famous Blue Mountain coffee. A popular local dish is jerk, marinated meat cooked over a fire made from pimento wood, which gives the dish a special flavor.
Well, in order not to lose shape, do not forget to take advantage of all the opportunities for outdoor activities that this sunny island... Diving, surfing, water skiing, rafting, excursions and much more - everything to have a great time and return home refreshed, tanned and ready for new achievements in the new year!
It is not clear why, but the country is away from the "trampled" by Russian citizens hiking trails... There are practically no Russians there. I happened to meet small groups of Russian citizens at the resorts in Negril. And so tourists are mainly from the States (regular flights fly from Jamaica from Montego Bay to Miami).
The language is exclusively English. Ignorance of the language does not in the least interfere with a comfortable vacation. An experienced tourist knows how to survive and get maximum pleasure abroad for a tourist who does not fucking know a foreign language. But this is a topic for another conversation.
So, the most vivid sketches about the country. 98% of the population are black citizens. If you move 200 meters away from tourist centers(hotels, beaches, adjacent cafes and restaurants), then you will not see whites at all. They all live differently. But mostly very poor (we traveled a lot around the country).
Tourists are not allowed to pass. At every step they try to offer three main services: 1) Taxi (even if he is not a driver himself, any citizen of the country is ready to organize a taxi for a certain fee anywhere), 2) Marijuana (offered everywhere, at any time and in any quantity). It turns out that almost 50% of the total in Europe and 36% in the US is marijuana from Jamaica. It is considered to be of high quality. 3) Braiding. Lack of hair is not a problem. They will be glued to you if you wish. Actually, these and other proposals from local residents pursue only one goal - to rob tourists. Everything in Jamaica is subject to this. And they can ask for money and just like that :))) Especially if you delve into poor neighborhoods. I had to deal with this :))) It is better to always have a small change at the ready and happily give it to the locals who begin to cling, pretending that you really like them.
By the way, I think it is precisely because of the criminal situation that most hotels in Jamaica operate on the All Inclusive principle. This is when you live in a hotel without leaving it. There are all the pleasures ( private beach, all kinds of sports, free food and drink at any time of the day [it is already included in the price of the voucher], all excursions without leaving the bus, etc.). But it’s impossible to understand and recognize the country that way. And to spend your vacation like that, you don't have to go that far. Therefore, based on personal impressions, I recommend when traveling to Jamaica not to choose hotels that operate on the principle of "All Inclusive".
As an alternative hotel, I recommend the hotel where I stayed with my family myself - "Doctor" s cave beach hotel". The hotel is located next to the eponymous and the best beach in Jamaica. This beach is national treasure country and depicted on the 50 dollar Jamaican banknote. The hotel is located in Montego Bay, Jamaican largest resort. In addition to the tourist area, there are also "local neighborhoods" with all the Jamaican exoticism.
In Negril and even in Ocho Rios, you will not see this. In Negril there is a continuous tourist zone, and the police cordon will not allow local residents to visit it, not only with drugs, even with fruit.
In general, the tourism business in the country is very well organized. As we understand (this information needs to be clarified), in whatever company you arrange the tour, the Jamaican "Holiday Service" will act as the host. It is there that Russian speaking guides... Mostly Poles, as well as local ones, who in the past studied in the CIS countries in the direction of the Workers' Party of Jamaica (according to one of these guides). The presence of round-the-clock support (including by phone, though local, there is no roaming with Jamaica) from these guides helps in all situations. The only thing to remember is the guides (who are local) to thank. However, they themselves will hint at it.
The host travel agency will offer a range of excursions. The most interesting is a trip across the country, through the Blue Mountains to the capital, Kingstone. There is nothing to watch in Kingston, and there is no time left. However, if you are a fan of Bob Marley, then you can go for 30 minutes in his museum. But nature, mountains, waterfalls will leave an indelible impression.
On the way, there is the opportunity to taste the famous Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee right at the plantation. Although it can be tasted in the hotel restaurant. To be honest, there is more talk about its taste and aroma. In short, for an amateur ... It is interesting to go to the waterfalls in Ocho Rios, as well as to the south of the country.
The rest of the excursions are less interesting. The cost of each excursion per person is approximately 80-95 am. dollars.
Kitchen. Jamaican cuisine cannot be called completely unusual and exotic. But everything is pretty tasty. Both prepared in the restaurant and in "local eateries". Everything is cooked: pork, beef, goat meat, chicken, seafood (fish, lobster, lobster). The piquancy and pure "Jamaican" taste comes from the use of local sauces and seasonings. Of the purely local delicacies, the specially prepared aki fruits with salted fish should be noted. It is really delicious and is served everywhere. Other exotic fruits include cooked breadfruit and sweet sap fruits. The rest is the same as everywhere else: bananas, coconuts, pineapples, oranges, etc. Moreover, in poor neighborhoods you can buy and chew peeled sugarcane. So that would enhance the experience.
There are a lot of things made from sugarcane in Jamaica. The first and foremost is, of course, rum. It is sold everywhere, in unlimited quantities, in different brands and in different tastes. In tourist areas, it is more expensive, 200-300 meters from hotels, 2-3 times cheaper. Well, it's like everywhere else in the resorts.
If we talk about prices in general, then vacation in Jamaica is not cheap. This is not Egypt or Thailand. But if money was found for a trip to Jamaica, then I think there should be no problems there either.
An interesting observation. If you buy a trip to the hotel on the "All Inclusive" system or go to the hotel with one breakfast, but at the same time, without being tied to the hotel, you will not deny yourself all the pleasures, leave the same amount of money. So, decide for yourself how to go. I have already expressed my opinion.
Successful trips to you.

Christmas in Jamaica: masquerade, music and gifts
Christmas in Jamaica is celebrated according to the Catholic calendar (December 25), but the traditions of the celebration are very unusual. All over the country at Christmas, the Jonkanu festival is held, during which you can see a masquerade and various musical performances, and national dishes - rice and ham, fried chicken and sweet pastries with rum-impregnated ones - are always served at the Christmas table. And December 26 in Jamaica is called Boxing Day and is a public holiday. There is a tradition on the island - on this day, after exchanging gifts, people return to each other unnecessary things presented for Christmas.

It's okay if you don't have a non-standard situation. I found an error when booking the next day, 3 weeks before the start of the tour. According to clause 1.38.5 of the agreement for the provision of services for booking a tourist product, the cost of making changes to a tourist product or documents regarding tour participants is 2% of the cost of a tourist product. I had to pay, and the tour operator could have done it for free, and I think they could, but they didn't. In general, it is not very clear why contact an intermediary if you can buy a tour from a tour operator. If I see my review in print, I’ll be very surprised.
Thank you for your service, chose the tour, quickly received the documents, everything is accessible and understandable. Great deals and most importantly good price!
15th trip already. It's great that you see all the options at once, and not from the words of the agent. Fast online shopping, many bonuses.
This is not the first time I work with you. Always contact you online by phone-the best! Any time of the day!!! Payment only by card at once 100% - then you know the problems - your installments (deferred payment) with the microfinance organizations standing behind them are scary !!! Confirmation of tours in swoop! But their travels with connecting flights and booking accommodation in countries where famous tour operators do not carry (there are no charters), I buy it myself! For example Seishili, Indonesia, Peru, so it is cheaper and what you want, but you have to be a little of that.
For the second time I buy tours through Level Trevel. Simple and intuitive site navigation is very pleasing. Booking, ordering and receiving documents went smoothly as usual. I received the documents for the tour a week before departure, just superb. Well done !!!
The second time I used the LEVEL TREVEL service to order a tour, this time to Jamaica. There was no doubt about the reliability, they called back immediately, asked if I had any questions. But with such an understandable service, there are no questions. The documents were sent to email quickly, notifications were sent both by sms to the phone and by email. And she always booked tours late in the evening, when there was time. There is no need to adapt to the travel agency's operating hours.
The employee called back very quickly, the tour booking process has not been completed yet. It's hard to think of what can be improved :). Best the enemy of the good! Keep it up:)
I always used the site and was happy ... last time I barged a tour to Egypt and faced deception ... and twice ... somehow strange ... firstly, when I picked up a ticket, the price of an economy flight and the price of a business class were the same, I, of course, naively chose a business .. .. after filling in the passenger data, I was told: and figs you! If you want a business, pay another 164 thousand ... this is at a ticket price of 104 tr ... well, okay: I think the operator who filled in the data mixed up something, I'll survive the economy, booked ... after a while they call me and they say that everything is fine, the flight is regular Aeroflot, this means that neither the airport nor the time will change ... I am waiting for confirmation, it comes: you have chartered flight... how are my eyes on my forehead? You yourself called and said that the regular one .... I check the Aeroflot schedule, the flight is regular in time, coincides .... now I sit and think, why trust deceivers? And if the departure time changes to a completely inconvenient one, what if I can't fly at all? After all, I chose the tour in many ways: considering the departure time too .... if the site really deceives me, it will lose regular client... although maybe you don't care ... I'm shocked ...
This was the first time I ordered a tour online, there were, of course, some concerns, but everything went so great that there was absolutely nothing to dig into.)) Everything is very convenient, understandable, with pictures, excellent Feedback... All documents were sent even ahead of time, there were SMS notifications regarding flights. The rest itself was also wonderful. For myself, I see no reason to go to agencies or go somewhere else. I liked the choice of the tour lying on the couch with a laptop much more. Thank you!)
I used the service for the second time. First everything was fine. Saving time and effort. But the second time, several overlaps happened at once. I paid for a one night tour more than I actually used. I think that this is not a puncture of the operator who provided the tour, but of Level. After receiving e-tickets, I was braking, I could not find the number. Yes, he himself is to blame, but he turned to the employees for help, and did not receive any help. I was told that the ticket would be one day before departure. But this regular flight and the ticket was already there. The operator Teztur helped. At that moment, when we were going to the airport, a message came from Level that the plane is tomorrow. It's unpleasant ...
