Travel tips

The great thing about all inclusive travel is the wide variety of options and destinations available. No matter who you are, or what your interests and budget, there is an all inclusive package which will make for the vacation of your dreams. If you like the beat of Reggae, spicy jerked chicken, and lilt of Jamaican patois set against a British colonial atmosphere, then consider an all inclusive Jamaica holiday. Besides enjoying its famous beaches (including nude beaches) you can walk up one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world; take a river boat trip to feed alligators; visit a sugar plantation or rum factory; swing on a rope high above a waterfall; hike or horseback through tropical rainforests and up Blue Mountain trails; or watch local cliff divers do their thing. Visit the historical and cultural landmarks of Kingston, such as the Bellevue House National Historic Park, Fort Henry, McIntosh Castle, Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, and Wolfe Island. And don’t miss the Bob Marley museum with its tribute to one of Reggae’s greats.

Bahamas all inclusive resorts have a very different flavor than Jamaica, and offer special attractions of their own, including world-class gambling casinos and championship golfing. Be sure to visit the Ardastra Gardens and Zoo, where the world famous marching flamingos perform and visitors can hand-feed Lory parrots, as well as see monkeys, exotic birds, snakes and iguanas. Enjoy the beautifully appointed Versailles Gardens on Paradise Island, with their fountains, statues, and elegant terraces. Swim with dolphins at Blue Lagoon Island, and feel their wet kisses and gentleness as they propel you across the lagoon. Bahamas capital, Nassau, features scores of tiny restaurants and pubs along its intimate side streets, and the bustling straw market offers a wide variety of native crafts. Marvel at the British colonial architecture of Parliament Square. Climb the 66 steps of the Queen’s Staircase (one for every year of Queen Victoria’s reign) from Fort Fincastle to the Water Tower, the highest point on the island. And don’t miss the Christmas-New Years’ Junkanoo festival – Bahama’s version of Carnival – with its vibrant street dancing and entertainment.

If you are looking for a luxury beach resort with a Portuguese accent and a samba beat, then you might consider all inclusive Brazil vacations.
