Curator’s statement
Jamaica is an amazing destination with warm-hearted people, breathtaking natural beauty and vibrant culture. You can relax at luxurious all-inclusive resorts, then enjoy Jamaica's gorgeous, powdery sand beaches and chase waterfalls or ride ATVs near Jamaica's many rivers. Also known for the delicious cuisine, there are many restaurants with beautiful views throughout Jamaica. For the traveler that wants a mixture of relaxation, nightlife and adventure, Montego Bay is the perfect city for a birthday trip. Kick off your birthday trip in luxury by purchasing the Club MoBay airport lounge access at Sangster International Airport for an expedited customs process, then having a personal driver/tour operator pop a bottle of champagne and escort you to your resort with a van full of balloons.
