The first thing you should definitely do if you plan on visiting Jamacia is to book your accommodation beforehand. More specifically, you should book your stay at a resort early. You see, Jamacia is a major tourist destination. This means that if you leave booking your accommodation, you could easily be left without a place to stay. Or you could even end up paying much more than you need to. There are a number of great resorts on the island that you can choose from. Simply do your research first. Next, you should remember to drink bottled mineral water.

This may seem like a strange tip but it is always better to be safe. You never truly know how safe it is to drink the local water. Avoid getting an upset stomach by using local curacy to purchase water. Getting around is important. There are a number of ways in which you can do this. This includes using a taxi service, rental cars or simply walking. You should remember that you should never hitchhike. This is because you are not a local to the island. This means that you might be taken advantage of. So it is better to stay on the safe side of things.
