"The fairest isle that eyes have beheld," said Christopher Colombus, 1494, when he saw Jamaica appear on the Caribbean horizon.
Jamaica conjures dreams of lush green mountains, turquoise seas that lap on white sand, and easy-going culture infused with reggae rhythms.
You can find here everything you want from an island retreat. 4,244 sq miles (10,992 sq km) of tropical beauty, keen to welcome you with Jamaican warmth.
Whether you crave lazy days on the beach, cooling off in crystal seas, or a touch of adrenaline, Jamaica has it all.
Sandals South Coast is your Jamaican getaway. Your 5-star, all-inclusive resort, set on 2 miles (3.2km) of pure white coastline, and backed by 500-acres of nature reserve.
Savour panoramic views from your over-water bungalow. Wake with the sunrise over the Caribbean, exotic birds singing your dawn chorus. Or dance under blue moonlight, swaying in the sea breeze, immersed in paradise.
There are over 300 bird species in Jamaica, many of which are native to the island. This club includes the doctor bird, Jamaica's national bird. Its name nods to the James Bond classic, Dr No, filmed here in the 1960s.
Jamaica is one of the best dive locations in the world. Its waters teem with life year-round. Scuba or snorkel, Jamaica's corals dazzle you with their hues. On land, mongooses patter, butterflies flutter, and iguanas warm up on hot rocks.
What about the weather? Gorgeous. Close to the equator, Jamaica has a tropical climate. Think flawless blue skies and temperatures that hover around 30 degrees celsius.

The culture of Jamaica is world-famous for a reason. Influenced by its diverse roots, Jamaica buzzes with character day and night. It has an irresistible personality of its own. And it will move you.
Check out The Institute of Jamaica, which promotes local art, literature, and science. Fancy a run? Usain Bolt, the fastest man on Earth for 13 years, was born here. Whether you love sport, music, or art, it's here.
Christianity is the main religion. But Jamaica's Rastafarian population is a huge part of its culture. Their words are rooted deep in Jamaica's reggae music.
Rhythms of Jamaica
The birthplace of Bob Marley, Jamaica is home to reggae, ska, and dancehall. Its beats reverberate across the globe. Head to a dancehall night and get into the groove with local tunes.
Jamaican Cuisine
Now we're talking. Jamaica's diverse heritage melts into its food. Nudged by African, European, and Asian styles, the island's dishes sizzle with flavour. Exotic vegetables, fruits, lean meat and fresh seafood, cooked to perfection.
Jerk chicken, goat, and pork are stars of the island. Lean meat, coconut, herbs and spices, smoked over pimento chips wallop your tastebuds. And the Scotch bonnet chilis pack a punch too.
Saltfish is Jamaica's national dish. Chefs serve it with ackee, a pod fruit from the island's trees. They saute, season, then mix it with yams, plantains and potatoes.
Rustic stews, rice and peas, and all sorts of BBQ fare will fill you up. Callaloo, like spinach, steamed, and served with saltfish, is a popular breakfast. No matter where you go in Jamaica, you will find mouth-watering food.
Is It Beneficial to Know a Little Jamaican Patois?
At Sandals South Coast, you can speak English for all purposes. The same is true for most of Jamaica. A British colony until 1962, English is spoken across the island. But a little Jamaican Patois will go a long way.
Key phrases include:
Mi soon come: I'll be right there.
Wah gwaan: How's it going?
Mi deh yah, yuh know: I'm doing well
Bless up: Good day
Duppy conqueror: From folklore, a person who tackles troubles
Inna di morrows: See you later
So if you're feeling brave, give some Jamaican Patois a try. But feel confident that English will get you around the island with ease.

Make it possible to contact a CSR who doesn't transfer me around 7 times before telling me they can't find their own policy issued to a customer - a policy number taken from their own letterhead!! I will tell everyone I know, in every way, to avoid your company at all costs. If I have to, I will contact CBC W5 or Marketplace. Manulife, you have messed with the wrong estate executor!!
