Utterly distinct from other islands in the Caribbean, Jamaica is bigger, bolder, brasher, and much more complicated. Indeed, it's a real country, with real politics, music, literature, and history. Which isn't to say that it doesn't have some of the most beguiling beaches in the entire Caribbean, as well as dramatic mountains, a serious city in Kingston, and rolling green hills and valleys in the center of the island that could be in England. It has attitude and personality, and offers the curious visitor so much more than just beaches and bars.
