After Fleming's death, Chris Blackwell, of the renowned independent (reggae) record label Island Records, bought the house with private beach, after Bob Marley canceled the purchase. Now GoldenEye is a hotel with restaurant, exclusive and pricey, but worth it. There, at Ocho Rios, in approximately the middle of the north, nature is at its most beautiful, thanks to numerous waterfalls and rivers, such as the Martha Brae River.

Yaman, which means something like… 'Yeah, man. It's okay. I get it. Everything will be fine.' Not parroting is not an option. The lifestyle of the Jamaicans is just as easy to copy: energetic in the morning and evening and don't worry during the day. The best place to take your afternoon nap is in these hotels and resorts:

The majority of hotels in Jamaica are all-inclusive. Such hotels are not normally at the top of the wish list, but in the case of the recently renovated Moon Palace Jamaica Grande Resort, I make an exception. The hotel is large but not overwhelming and perfectly located in Ocho Rios, it has a private beach in a bay (just the right quiet sea for your lounger), five restaurants – an American bistro, an Asian restaurant, an Italian, a Mexican and a fish restaurant, where it's all good food – 24-hour service in the large rooms, a swimming pool with a view of the sea (and a swim-up bar), and not too much entertainment, but a little.  moonpalacejamaicagrand.com

If the Riu Resort Negril is the start of the Negril strip, then The Caves closes the coastline. The resort initially looks like any other resort in Jamaica: colorful and beautiful with twelve holiday homes, but as you descend the wooden stairs you arrive at the namesake of The Caves: natural caves in which The Caves Restaurant, a spa, a cave for a private dining and the Blackwell Rum Bar are located, in the dark and lit only by candles – hello romance.

The Pushcart restaurant is part of the Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, but has its own entrance. The cuisine here is fairly Western-oriented. With a bit of luck you will meet the house band: two Rastas on drums and guitar and a maracas lady, who will give you an unforgettable (dance) evening with reggae versions of songs from Bon Jovi and Celine Dion's biggest hits. rockhouse.com

It's almost difficult not to eat jerk chicken in Jamaica and one of the very best and nicest places to eat it has to be Scotchies in Kingston: the eatery made of thatched fences looms up along the side of the highway. Once inside (sort of; the restaurant is al fresco) you will find seats here and there, high and low, peeling festival posters and an open kitchen filled by a large Jamaican who prepares dishes with chicken, beef, vegetables and festival (a kind of oliebol (eaten instead of potatoes or rice) that are smoldering under the corrugated iron roof.

The famous Rick's Cafe is part of The Caves in Negril. Here (divinely muscular and stunningly beautiful) Jamaicans jump as gracefully as possible from the rocks into the clear blue water for a few dollars so that tourists can take a nice picture. Pretty raunchy, extremely overcrowded, but you have to see it.

The family business behind this restaurant is popular in and around Negril, not least because of the lobster drizzled with garlic butter that they serve. There is a big bonfire every day and live music every Tuesday.

Jamaican cuisine enjoys little respect; it is fatty and so incredibly spicy that, according to many, the flavor of the ingredients is lost. I loved it, and so did my fellow travelers, all that jerk chicken and beef, white rice with beans, tropical fruit for grabs everywhere and always and your mouth regularly going into overdrive so that a cocktail is within reach and then you can finish it off again. extinguishing is necessary.
