Amazing holidays to Jamaica

The fun-loving island of Jamaica offers all inclusive holidays for families and travellers of all ages. Hotels are efficient and well managed – after all, Jamaica practically invented Caribbean package holidays. We at The Co-operative Travel have a wide range of cheap holidays in Jamaica.

For those travelling with younger children, there are sandy beaches, crocodile farms, nature reserves, pony riding and ice lollies made from frozen fruit. Teens can enjoy water sports like scuba diving and windsurfing, as well as live reggae parties on the beach. Parents and couples can enjoy golf, soul food restaurants and sightseeing in the colonial resorts. Everyone will be thrilled by the spectacular scenery, caverns and marine life.

Laid-back fun on the musical island

Jamaica is ruled by its reggae music. This was the birthplace of Bob Marley, and an excursion to the Bob Marley museum is a must for everyone.

The Island Village complex, at Ocho Rios, is dominated by Reggae Explosion, a permanent exhibition charting the evolution of Jamaican music from the 1950s to today. Kids will love the singing, dancing tour guides. There is also a 100ft water slide, cinema and a huge outdoor concert area that doubles as a village green.

Jamaica has a constant calendar of festivals. The highlight of the year is Sumfest, in late July.  If you would rather come when it’s a little cooler, live music is a feature in the bars, hotels and beaches throughout the year, so be prepared to dance!

Best resorts for family holidays

Vibrant Montego Bay is the island’s most popular resort, with fantastic beaches, reefs and diving schools. Go deep-sea fishing, or take an underwater tour of the Marine Park in a mini-submarine. Enjoy the rides at the Agua Sol theme park, and then swim with Flipper at Dolphin Cove. There are even pirate cruises on board a real sailing ship. 

Falmouth offers a quieter alternative, with gently sloping beaches, golf courses, water sports – and a haunted manor house. Negril has magnificent family beaches, a lighthouse and Black River crocodile safaris. Glass-bottom boat trips show the wonders of the reefs, while teens can go white river rafting.

Runaway Bay offers superb all inclusive holidays in a self-contained resort. Dunns River Falls and the spectacular Green Grotto Caves are just some of the places kids can explore. 

Book cheap family holidays in Jamaica and one visit is never enough. We at The Co-operative Travel have family package holidays that will have you returning year after year.
