As we draw closer towards the Holiday Season, better known as “Peak Season”, not only are we reflective on the year; but we think of a well deserved Caribbean vacation. I am a stickler for vacations in places that are opposite to climates where you live. For example, if you live up North where it gets unbearably cold, you would then head south to the Caribbean where it’s generally warmer.
Jamaica is the perfect place you need to be for your winter vacation. This small island is filled with beautiful “all inclusive” Hotels, Resorts and Vilas and of course equally beautiful people. After working hard throughout the year , you want to make sure you spend that hard earned cash in a luxurious place that has all the bells and whistles you so deserve and of course the best customer service in the world. If you have a luxurious vacation on your mind, today is your lucky day to discover the most luxurious hotels in St Mary.
