More About Jamaica
Visitors to Jamaica have several options when it comes to selecting a vacation area on the island.
Montego Bay, also known as Mobay, is Jamaica's third-largest city and offers entertainment and activities for travelers of all kinds. The island's melting pot of influences gathers in Mobay, creating a vibrant collection of eateries, artisan shops, clubs, and accommodations.
Ocho Rios also referred to as Ochi, is a tourist-friendly area in what the locals call 'the garden parish'. Here you will find an incredible variety of natural beauty, world-class resorts, and local flavors. The Mystic Mountain Rainforest and Dunn's River Falls are just two of the top experiences found in this area of the island.
Negril is the center of relaxation on the island. Known for its beautiful sunsets, picturesque sea cliffs, and white-sandy beaches, in Negril, time slows down. If a romantic escape is what you are seeking, look no further than Negril.

For the most current information on passport and entry requirements, please visit the Government of Canada official website at http://travel.gc.ca. Special travel documents are required for children traveling with or without their parents. If you are traveling with children, please check with the airline or cruise line prior to departure. If you are not a Canadian citizen, you must contact the consulate of the country you are visiting.
Newlywed Information: Tickets and other travel documents must exactly match your current passport and other identification. If not, you could be denied boarding and no refund will be forthcoming. For requirements and information regarding marriages performed in a foreign country, please visit the consulate of the particular country.
Honeymoon Packages: Some hotels require you to present a marriage certificate or licence for you to receive the honeymoon package. Please bring your marriage documentation with you if you are traveling on a honeymoon package.
Minors: If a minor (under 18) is traveling, please provide the appropriate travel documents for the trip. Review required documents here, https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/children/children-travel.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the Government of Canada official website at https://travel.gc.ca.

Attire: Dress is informal but conservative. Casual wear is acceptable, except in certain hotels, restaurants, or nightclubs where a dress code is required - such as a jacket and tie, collared shirt, slacks, and closed-toe shoes for men; dresses, a blouse with nice shorts or skirt, and high heels/platforms, or nice sandals for women. Walking around the hotel or town in a t-shirt and shorts is okay, but beach attire is not appropriate to wear in town, casinos, churches, restaurants, and shops - away from the beach or pool area, you are expected to cover your bathing suit. In the more laid-back, remote areas, the dress code may be more flexible. During the day, it is warm to hot - clothes made of lightweight, natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk are ideal. In the evenings, it tends to be cooler - you may want a jacket, sweater, long-sleeve top, or long trousers.
Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory
Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.
Beaches : White-sand beaches and clear blue waters make a perfect backdrop for any vacation day.
Dunn's River Falls : Multiple waterfalls cascade down limestone ledges and flow out to sea.
Golf : Golfers will delight in the variety of courses, primarily in the Montego Bay area.
Local Flavors : Across the island, visitors will discover a unique blend of seasonings and spices that create the famous 'jerk' flavor known worldwide.
Music : The birthplace of reggae came right from Jamaica's shores and is celebrated throughout the island.
