Jamaica's rich history travels back beyond the 15th century and includes the settlements of the gentle Arawak Indians (who named the island Xaymaca), Spanish mariners, English conquerors, and Asian migrants, all of whom added to the multi-ethnic heritage of this Caribbean island. Modern Jamaica is the land of reggae and rum, wearing a mantle of roughshod romance that attracts travelers the world over looking to escape the routine of daily life.

English is the official language of Jamaica, but Jamaicans have developed a unique dialect, which is a combination of African, Portuguese and Spanish terms, peppered with Rastafarian slang. The majority of patois is a mixture of English and derivatives of various West African languages.

Jamaica's landscape is a mosaic of palmed golden beaches and a beautiful mountainous interior. The island has a multitude of exclusive beachfront resort hotels in Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios, and Runaway Bay.
