One of the things I like about Jamaica is that it is less affected by frigid weather systems than a lot of other places in the Caribbean region - such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, the Yucatan, and of course the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. The land mass of Cuba tends to protect Jamaica from what's going on in the North Atlantic. And Negril is even better than the north coast of Jamaica in this respect.
