Saint James, Jamacia

St. James is a suburban parish, located on the north-west end of the island of Jamaica. Its capital is Montego Bay (derived from the Spanish word manteca (lard) because many wild hogs were found there, from which lard was made). Montego Bay was officially named the second city of Jamaica, behind Kingston, in 1981, although Montego Bay became a city in 1980 through an act of the Jamaican Parliament. The parish is the birthplace of the Right Excellent Samuel Sharpe (died 1833), one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes.


We Loved our vacation to Rendez-vous!

Hi Elizabeth:   We LOVED our vacation and LOVED Rendez-vous. I would highly recommend it and want to go back and take some friends with us. The staff was awesome and friendly. Anything you needed they did without making you feel like you were bothering them. They had lots of activities you could do if you wanted but there was no pressure on that end. The food was great and the A La Carte was delicious! “V” and I didn’t have one complaint the entire time besides our mattress not being the most comfortable (but you can make do for 1 week).   It was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had and I truly hope that I can go back on day soon!   Please let me know if you have any other questions or need anything else.   Thanks again Elizabeth.   “L”
