Looking forward to our next visit to beautiful Jamaica! See you soon!!
Not booked yet, but have been there for the past, I think 4 years? We usually wait for the last minute deals that week. Have not been there for Christmas just boxing day maybe in a couple years when the youngest is a little older!
Trip #59 most of February
Christmas in Jamaica is cooler than other months so make sure to expect that --- one year I actually wore jeans and my jean jacket
the best thing about that time of the year is FOOD - all kinds of things are in season to eat that you may have missed during the months you usually come
Christmas and Boxing Day are both relatively quiet days. The big gift giving is not obvious. More family time together.
The restaurants will have a big dinner on Christmas and NYE --- make reservations --- especially for NYE --- you have never seen that many cars and people on Beach Road --- I promise
last Christmas I was at Zimbali Retreats --- perfect day for me --- perfect hosts - and more than perfect food lol
and like PGW said --- make sure to get money --- ATM's start dwindling down Christmas Eve and no money until after Boxing Day
and if a Jamaican family invites you to dinner --- GO! :-)

Christmas and NYE in Jamaica is the best! Happy moods all around! We did Xmas dinner at Lingah by the Sea at NBCC and it was really good. Not sure if they are doing their buffet this year but I'm sure we'll find some place to go. The weather was nice but for me, I refused to wear any cold weather clothes in Jamaica and it was funny to see the overnight security wrapped up in jackets and wearing gloves and hats. The se was calm for the most part but there were a few days with crashing waves. My absolute favorite was seeing Negril Beach lit up with bonfires and all the paper lanterns for NYE.
and the fireworks!
We will be in Negril for Christmas and New Years this year too. We are doing Nov 30 thru March 8th this trip.
Really looking forward to a chilled-out Jamaican Christmas - had enough of the 'over-the-top' Canadian Christmasexcesses.
We will be in Redground for 2 months and on the beach for one. We'll be needing a scooter. Anyone have an idea where and how much for a good scooter for two months?
