Fern Tree Spa in Montego Bay is an enormous 68,000 square feet. It is included in Conde Nast Traveler Hot Spas 2008. It "...has the feel of a much smaller place. Many treatments were designed by 'spa elders,' a term that evokes gray-haired soothsayers but really just means those steeped in Jamaican remedies, traditions, and indigenous ingredients. Elders prescribe a wellness plan of therapies in private consults - or guests can create their own." A Jamaican Bush Bath ($55) is soothing followed with the Jamaican Green Coffee Envelopment ($195) which uses Blue Mountain coffee to perk up fatigued skin. You could literally get lost on the spa grounds with its labyrinth that includes a yoga studio, pool, and sculpture garden. Massages $115. Open 8 am to 8 pm daily. (close)

This again is something for the adventurer or young at heart. I took the leap on the tour to Negril from Montego Bay. It runs about $65 us pp and is worth it for the Caves alone. After jumping off the cliffs you swim into these caves to get back up to the "launch" point. Water is just breathtaking. I highly recommend putting this on your list (close)

Rio Grande is the birthplace of river rafting in Jamaica. The original use of these rafts was to transport bananas from the inland plantations to the harbour at Port Antonio. The pursuit was popularised by Errol Flynn who used to challenge his guests to moonlight rafting races along the Rio Grande. Rio Grande Tours run rafting trips on the Rio Grande. The slow trip down the Rio Grande starts at either Berrydale or Grants Level and ends at Rafters Rest on the coast. The ride takes about two to three hours, depending on your entry point, speed of the river and strength of your boatman. If you have a car your have the choice of leaving your car at Rafters Rest then taking a taxi to your entry point or driving up to your entry point and allowing a member of staff to drive your car to Rafters Rest and wait for you (close)

The Trident castle is the only castle in the Caribbean and was built in the 1980s by the architect Earl Levy. The castle was commissioned by Mr Levy's then business partner, Baroness Fahmi of Germany. However, there were subsequent legal wrangling between the architect and the baroness, resulting in Levy taking ownership of the castle. Trident Castle is now a weekend home for the Levy family but can be rented out for visits and special occasions. The property is an example of rocco stonework, constructed in an Austrian Baroque style. There are six elegant bedrooms, a music room, a dining fall and peacocks have the free run of the grounds.

I lived in Jamaica for three years just outside of Albert Town, Trelawny which is the host of the annual Trelawny Yam Festival. Music, dancing, dressed up donkeys, food everywhere, people from all over the island(not to mention the world), drinks, laughs, and sites beyond belief. If you are looking for a true jamaican experience....not one that is all dressed up for the tourists be sure to check this one out. It runs the weekend of Easter every year so it is a perfect time to book your trip to take advantage of those extra days off. Be sure to tell the locals that Kizzy from Cotton Tree told you about it. I am certain you will get good smiles and hearty hand shakes from them all. I miss Jamaica so much....I can't wait to go back for good. (close)
