AboutSienna Expertise I live on the west coast of the island, in the sugar cane valley of Westmoreland parish, just outside the beach resort town of Negril, and will be happy to assist with questions that would cover the areas of the west and southwest coasts....areas such as Negril, Whitehouse, Treasure Beach.
I can help withquestions pertaining to Jamaican culture, food, places of interest, your general hotel location in regards to activities or excursions in your area, whether you're in a villa, resort, or small independent hotel.
I am however, NOT a travel agent, and cannot be of help making reservations at any all-inclusive properties.
Experience I moved here from California nine years ago, to live here with my husband, a Jamaican....his home is now my 'adopted home.' Before moving here I visited Jamaica as often as possible, staying in tourist towns and remote 'bush country'.
We have a small micro-business, offering tours for people who wish to go "off property" and choose do so in a more personal atmophere, rather than on large tour buses with 30-50 others. We go to all of the customary tourist attraction spots, and also offer some destinations you will not find offered through the hotels or large tour companies.
We believe that the people of Jamaica, both adults and children, have much to offer visitors and we strive to involve members of any community we pass through so that you can interact with them directly. Our goal is to have you enjoy your outing..to have fun while learning something new.
Question in getting married in aug in ocho rios and heard not to take any military style clothes i.e. cammo 3/4 length shorts or t-shirts etc, is this true?
Answer Greetings John, from a late night here in Jamaica.
There is no "law" against wearing camouflage clothing here, though Jamaican men won't since it is what the soldier's wear and no one wants to mistakenly get confused with one of them. :) However, as a tourist, and one most likely staying on resort grounds, I doubt you'll have that difficulty.
You will find August to be VERY warm, with tons of humidity....if you haven't already picked out your wedding outfit, you might consider something lightweight to help...sweltering in a tux can be a not so happy experience.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding...Jamaica is a great place to start this special time in your life together!
