First steps in creating The Real Jamaica experience...


Ok, we have the land, we have the expertise, we have the time, the inclination and the desire to make this work. We're going to build a small development of well-appointed chalets, with a central restaurant (of modest size) and swimming pool. All this in the beautiful Jamaican sun, situated on the south side of the island near to Black River. Potentially, this is perfect. A stunning, natural location where people from all over the world can experience the beauty of Jamaica, its people and more. All with hands-on hosts who have lived in Jamaica and England and [think] that they know what holidaymakers want. This is where you come in. What do you want from such a holiday, one where you can get away from the stereotypical characters, the staged events, the glossy brochures that never quite live up to expectations?

The first image is of the river itself, a couple of miles inland from the developing town that stands on the river's mouth. The photo wa staken standing on the bridge about 200 yards from our plot. Imagine a quiet stroll down to the river when you wake up or during the cooling early evening? There's a small bar, boats pass by, they even have a crocodile safari that reaches this point. Locals fish and wash in the river. Kids play and dive in. Are we mad or is this the start of something wonderful?
