Destination: Jamaica

Travel to Jamaica with Eileen Schlichting of Transatlantic Travel

If your fantasy involves pirates, then The Caves is the place for you. There's no beach, instead guests plunge directly into blue waters. The most romantic dinner -- a table for 2 inside a cave, lit by twinkling lights with the night stars reflected on the water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want it all? Beach, golf, tennis, horseback riding and children's programs, then Half Moon is your perfect landing spot. There's a killer spa and morning yoga too.

A jet will fly you straight to Montego Bay in less than 4 hours from the East Coast.

I love a Dark & Stormy -- that's rum & tingly ginger beer for the uninitiated -- but as much as it's one of the landmark drinks of Jamaica, it conjures up only sunny days for me. If your idea of romance is a lovely beach at sunset, fine rum or a Red Stripe, great food and a laid-back vibe, Jamaica waits for you.

There's history, culture and sustainability too. The luxe Goldeneye was once the home of Ian Fleming and he penned a number of his sexy James Bond thrillers here. If you're lucky enough to take over the Fleming Villa, you can even sit at his desk. There's a recording studio too, and Sting retreated here to write, "Every Breath You Take." Think cottages perched over beach or lagoon, with sexy outdoor showers and beds with a view.
