About the Area
Jamaica, a Caribbean Island nation, has a lush topography of mountains, rainforests and reef-lined beaches. Many of its all-inclusive resorts are gathered in Montego Bay, with its British-colonial architecture, and Negril, known for its diving and snorkeling sites. Jamaica is famed as the birthplace of reggae music.
The official language is English, which is "used in all domains of public life", including the government, the legal system, the media, and education. However, the primary spoken language is an English-based creole called Jamaican Patois (or Patwa).
There are holiday home rentals in the area but be warned you may be targeted for theft if you do not choose to stay in inclusive resorts with security.
The official currency of Jamaica is the Jamaican dollar, or J$, but US dollars are also widely accepted. In big resort areas, you can usually get by with USD.
