Featured Travel Destination: Jamaica

 

POSTCARD: Insight on a Stunning Island

It’s autumn, time for falling leaves and falling temperatures. But don’t fret, it’s “no problem, mon!” Instead, imagine yourself relaxing in a hammock under a swaying palm tree in Jamaica come springtime. To us, March, April, and May are tops for visiting Jamaica, one of our favorite islands in the Caribbean. And now is the perfect time to plan your escape.

Jamaica has a wonderful word--irie--which means everything's good. And irie certainly pertains to the island's vibe year-round, but especially in the spring months when the terrific temps and end-of-season prices are sure to seduce you. Simply put, Jamaica in the springtime is a no brainer. 

 

The Hideaways Take:This Caribbean island maintains a unique culture --shaped by its colonial past and African heritage--and a varied landscape of rugged rain-forested mountains, plains of sugarcane, and some impressive rivers and waterfalls. The countryside is punctuated by picturesque settlements, the occasional old plantation, mountain cascades, and, of course, some spectacular best-of-the-Caribbean beaches.

Hideaways Travel Agent Tip: "You still might find a deal in Jamaica if you book soon. But don't procrastinate! Flights are already getting crazy full for January through March, and airfare isn't getting any cheaper--in fact, just the opposite."
 
Where to Stay: We recommend Round Hill Hotel and Villas--where members of the Hideaways Aficionado Club receive two complimentary 50-minute Tranquility Massages--and also Half Moon (pictured above), Jamaica Inn, The Caves, and Strawberry Hill.

 

Other "Hot" Spring Destinations
Costa Rica/Belize: January through April is the time for perfect weather here--so book your trip now!

Hideaways recommends: In Costa Rica, Hotel Punta Islita, Lapa Rios Ecolodge, and Hotel Capitan Suizo; in Belize, Blancaneaux Lodge, Turtle Inn, and The Inn at Robert's Grove.

Hideaways-exclusive deal: 2-night package for two in a Bungalow at Lapa Rios, including meals, for $1,160 (save $280). Only 1 left!

See our Travel to Costa Rica resource page.

Tahiti/French Polynesia: Late winter and spring are less expensive, possibly rainier, but always beautiful--a great year-round destination.

Hideaways recommends: Sailing the region with Paul Gauguin Cruises.

Read: "Cruising Where Life Imitates Art".

European Cruising: April/May is the start of cruise season, and rates are generally lower than in summer. It could be cooler and a bit wetter, but it's also less crowded.

Hideaways recommends: An early Med cruise with Oceania Cruises or a river cruise in the Netherlands with AmaWaterways.

Read: "The Black Sea, Unveiled" and "Cruising the World, Your Way".
