"History buffs can (visit) the heritage sites of Trelawny, while reggae and dancehall fans will love the authentic music clubs of Kingston," the American travel website added, noting as well that "Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, while the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stresses melt away."

Jamaica placed behind Provindenciales, Turks and Caicos; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; and Barbados on the "Top 10 Islands – Caribbean 2015" list.
