Runaway Bay Holidays 2013

Since the reefs are so close to the shore, snorkelling is an extremely popular and worthwhile activity when on holiday. Likewise it’s a tremendous place to pick up some waves and go surfing. The Green Grotto caves are famous throughout the island and have become a prominent tourist attraction in Discovery Bay, St Ann on the north coast of Jamaica.

While a naturally peaceful island, the luxury hotels are constantly offering shows and cabaret events every night of the week. And since it is Jamaica, the discos are plentiful and party animals will be able to spend all night dancing underneath the stars. At nightfall most people enjoy eating Creole cuisine and listening to reggae music, but for those who want a sexier time, the bars and clubs of Montego Bay are within easy reach of most hotels.

This boutique hotel is nestled amongst stunning gardens and luscious white sand beaches, making it ideal for relaxing and soaking up the sunshine. A family-friendly property, it is ideal for those seeking a family getaway.

Located just minutes from the Green Grotto Caves, the Jewel Runaway Bay Resort has private 18-hole golf course that will amaze most guests. Surrounded by lush foliage, scenic views and premium hotel rooms, this luxury resort is like many in Runaway Bay. With beautiful weather nearly all year round, there is certainly no shortage of sunbathing hours and with the ocean a stone’s throw away from most hotels, visitors can also enjoy water polo and wind surfing.

Most of the nightclubs reside in Montego Bay and one of the most popular nightspots on the island is Marguerite's Seafood by the Sea. While rival cocktail bar ‘Nikkita’ also pulls in the punters. Most of the luxury hotels in Runaway will have their own in-house entertainment for those not wanting to stray too far away. Royal Decameron Club Caribbean is a popular choice for many holidaymakers, where guests can look forward to steamy hot nights full of live music, shows and a funky disco.

The Hotel Grand Lico Braco is situated in a replica of a Jamaican village, providing a wonderful mix of traditional culture and modern amenities. Perfect for those looking for a unique place to stay, the hotel is in a great location to explore the best of Runaway Bay.

Perfect for a daytrip from the hotel, Dunn’s River Falls is renowned throughout the world for being the Niagara of Jamaica. Adventurous visitors can scale 600-foot limestone rock formation and special guides will lead people, with group members linking hands for the steep ascent. Another jaw dropping attraction is Shaw Botanical Gardens, which is situated on a hilltop overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. The gardens are a wonderful tourist attraction and embrace twenty-five acres of tropical splendour.

When taking a boat trip from the Runaway Bay, visitors can explore the Green Grotto Caves, which will reveal tree roots from the jungle growth poking through the rock. The caves lead to a sizable underground lake filled with fish. Request a guide when you visit the caves, as they are extremely dark. Scuba diving is also very popular in Jamaica and with the beautiful reefs so close to the surface, any trip to the ocean is likely to be a bountiful experience.

Hotel Club Ambiance is a three-star resort nestled on the quiet stretch of golden Jamaican coastline, providing stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. An adult only hotel, the property boasts an ideal location just 30 minutes from the main town centre.
