JAMAICA Montego Bay Beachside in Montego Bay Jamaica's most important tourism center offers villas, traditional, and allinclusive hotels for every taste, plus shopping, restaurants and nightlife. To the northeast Montego Bay (or MoBay) segues into Rose Hall, with its historic homes, haute luxe resorts, and championship golf courses. BEST PLACE TO STAY Round Hill Hotel & Villas' superb service and villas with owners like Ralph Lauren have attracted more statesmen and celebs than the White House and the Grammies combined. Some villas were just added and/or renovated, the farm-to-table organic garden was expanded, and Lauren's decor in the piano room-well, no need to "improve" that. The Kids' Club, spa, tennis and watersports programs, and the concierge's inside track at the Tryall Golf Club bespeak excellence. BEST NATURE EXPERIENCE Montego Bay is covered by resorts, streets, and stores, so drive (90 minutes) up-country to Mayﬁeld Falls, with its two cascades, 21 natural pools, ferns, bromeliads, birds and butterﬂies. BEST CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Just two miles from MoBay, the Rastafari Indigenous Village offers fullday tours that introduce visitors to Rastafarian culture, including Rastafarian beliefs, medicinal herbs, farming, crafts and family life. Reserve ahead. BEST SPORTING LIFE Golf, tennis, and the beach are MoBay's mainstays, but now visitors can also test their reﬂexes at nearby Paintball Jamaica. Contests include capture the ﬂag, last man standing, last team standing, and (paintless) laser tag. BEST KEPT SECRET St. James Parish Church, built in the 1700s, damaged in 1957, and then restored, is the ﬁnest church in Jamaica. If the imposing, crossshaped gray ediﬁce isn't open, a call to the ofﬁce might result in someone unlocking the door. Back outside, the gravestones' inscriptions bespeak large families with short lifespans.
