DESTINATIONS JAMAICA | CARIBBEAN
AGENTS’ VIEWS
Teresa Williams, Hays Travel “My top tip is to try everything. I’m gobsmacked I climbed Dunn’s River Falls, but it was so worth it. I enjoyed the trip so much I’ve been looking to book a Jamaica holiday for myself.

Couples Sans Souci stood out with its adult-only atmosphere, but Half Moon was the real revelation – the turtle sanctuary makes it unforgettable for eco-conscious travellers, while the sprawling grounds and championship golf offer privacy that high-profile clients crave.”
