Jamaica is a real gem of an island in the Caribbean. For Americans, it is possibly closer than Hawaii, and offers much of the same pleasure that can be found there. When it's a matter of convenience as so many vacations are, don't fail to consider Negril, Jamaica with its beautiful beaches and exotic folk, for your beach vacation point of destination this year. A smaller city, Negril will not overwhelm even the first time traveler going overseas. Jamaica is a great place to escape to, and the Moon Dance Cliffs offer you an affordable place to sleep and enjoy yourself while you're in the country. For less than $100 a night you can expect comfort; no pampering, but you will get out of bed in the morning refreshed and ready to further explore this city. You won't feel so comforted you don't want to move, is what I'm saying. And you'll enjoy that movement while you swim with the people and wildlife of the Caribbean islands. Without going very far from home, you can get golden sands and sweet rum, good people and great food, all at affordable rates. It is still not too expensive a place to vacation to like so much of Europe. Consider Negril, Jamaica when planning your beach vacation this year.
