The best guidebook on Jamaica ever! July 9, 2000 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
This is the guidebook that answers all of the questions you might have about this beautiful country. I was able to enjoy 2 wonderful weeks in Negril, and planned most of my activities, hotel accomodations, restaurant visits, entertainment, and transportation using this book. What I appreciate most about Lonely Planet books is that they give information on all of the towns in a given country - not just the big resort places. The ratings of hotels and restaurants was very accurate, as were the maps. They tell you the good, the bad and the ugly in realistic terms that make getting around a breeze. This book is a must if you are planning to travel to Jamaica!!

We've got 3-4 Jamaica travel books and this is the one that was most helpful and continues to be - we go to Jamaica a lot :)
If you want to get out and explore the island beyond your hotel (and you do!), you'll really appreciate having this book. It lists restaurants, hotels, attractions and gives an excellent view into Jamaican history and customs.
Prices were quite accurate at the time of our last visit and so were descriptions of places to eat and stay. Great book, don't leave home without it!
This is really a survival kit! September 5, 1999 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
Planning our holidays just one week before we flown to Jamaica was really hard to handle. We heard of -Lonely Planet- and buyed this book. This holidays could have turned out into the worst holidays of our lives because we diddent known anything about Jamaica and the people who are living there. But thanks to this book and its author, we were able to leave the tourist centers and started to discover this beautiful island. The prices mentioned in the book really helped us, and we were really surprised to find everything like it was described in the book. By the way: Thanks for telling us about the SHAW GARDEN PARK in Ocho Rios, we had a lot of fun there!
