What is a promotion code?

A promotion code is your key to redeeming discounts, special CheapTickets offers and rewards. To redeem, enter your promotion code below, then look for hotels marked with the

icon. We'll apply the discount to the total cost when you pay. Promotion codes can only be used once with each booking, and they're good only up to the total amount of your booking (including service fee and taxes) or promotion code amount, whichever is less.

Introduction to Jamaica

Jamaica, Caribbean

Most visitors already have a mental picture of Jamaica before they arrive: its boisterous culture of reggae and Rastafarianism; its white-sand beaches; and its lush foliage, rivers, mountains, and clear waterfalls. Jamaica's art and cuisine are also remarkable.

Yet Jamaica's appealing aspects have to be weighed against its poverty, crime, and racial tensions, the legacy of colonial rule and subsequent political upheavals.

So, should you go? By all means. Just be prudent and cautious. The island has fine hotels and savory food. It's well geared to heterosexual couples who come to tie the knot or celebrate a honeymoon. And Jamaica boasts the best golf courses in the West Indies, some of the finest diving waters in the world, and good river rafting. In this section we'll lay out our favorite places and experiences.
