Be your own Jamaica guide and explore the beautiful island this summer. Forget about the stereotype that this place is dangerous for vacations, as I can tell you that this jewel with its natural beauty is able to blend everything with modern services for an unforgettable holiday experience.

Just like anywhere else in this world, people have to learn about the areas to visit and avoid going to places or with strangers and end up with problems. It is saddening as a frequent visitor to this country to hear all the talks of the place being dangerous, so put that thought to rest and focus on having a good time.

This island with its lovely stretch of white sand beaches is appealing to singles, family and couples just the same. Once you arrive at any of the airports you will feel the rhythm of the reggae, the warmth of the people and be captivated with the sceneries all around.

The only thing that might scare you a little in Jamaica is the wide variety of accommodations that you will have to select from. You will find many areas that are interesting to stay, such as the popular cities, along the beach or the less popular towns with the locals. Some of the places that you will find include villas, hotels, cottages, guest houses, cabins and all inclusive resorts.

For the fun part of the trip, here are some of the places that you can plan to visit even as your personal Jamaica guide. Most people love the laidback town of Negril which is located in two of the parishes in Jamaica, namely Hanover and Westmoreland. I should point out here, that if you are planning to drive, it would take you about an hour and half drive from Montego Bay to get there. But, it will be worth the drive as you get to explore the long seven mile stretch of beach with its sugary white sand. This spot is one of the features that make this town a favorite with many travelers from around the world.  Another thing that is quite appealing is the captivating sunsets that you will witness in the evenings while you are in the West End area.

Although, this town is very laidback and peaceful, if you want to spend your vacation somewhere with no children in sight and really let loose, there is resort that will give you the opportunity to do just that. This is a super all inclusive resort that is popular with singles and couples who is in search of a place to party like the rock stars and enjoy being one with nature. So, since you will be on your own, you could probably add a little zing to the vacation and mix it up a little. This is the true pleasure-seekers haven and if you stay a night or two in this spot, you are guaranteed to have a stimulating and sexy holiday.

On the other hand, you can take it down a notch or just stick to the relaxing stuff at Runaway Bay. Most people will probably past this area without giving it much thought as it just ten miles to the west of Ocho Rios, which is a more popular spot.  However, you will find some attractions here as well and can relax in comfortable resort away from the hustle and bustle of Ocho Rios. This is the first place that Christopher Columbus first set his sights on and also one of the first of the Spanish settlements on the island. There is enough tranquility and peace in this area for anyone to have a relaxing holiday with no worries.

There are many more places that could be mentioned here, but there is limited space and time to really highlight all the beautiful places on the island. But, I know you will discover more interesting places being your own Jamaica guide, as you can stop or go anywhere that you desire. One thing is for sure; you will not be disappointed and can look forward to an unforgettable trip.
