Rockland Bird Sanctuary.





The Rocklands Bird Sanctuary is one of Jamaica’s most unique attractions. Located in Anchovy, about 20 minutes outside of Montego Bay, this quaint little house, is reportedly home to over 200 species of birds.


Rocklands was originally established by Lisa Salmon, one of Jamaica's first environmentalists. ‘The bird lady" as she was sweetly called, purchased the Rocklands property in 1954. She spent her time here painting, writing and feeding the birds. This home soon began to attract various species of birds.  In 1962, Miss Salmon opened Rocklands to the public. Sadly, Lisa passed away in 2000 at the age of 96 but her love of birds and legacy live on. Rocklands is now operated by Lisa's nephew and managed by Fritz, who has been working there over 15 years and has an eye for spotting the birds that settle in the surrounding trees.


The Bird Sanctuary attracts hundreds of colorful and beautiful birds that you may see each day. As you stroll around the property watching for birds and looking at flora,  you will notice the peacefulness and serenity that invite these wild and free birds to take up residence here.  You also have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these little beauties while they tweet happy songs and show off the plumage.


Certainly, the highlight of Bird Sanctuary is being able    to feed the wild hummingbirds right out of the  palm  of  your hand. You will be given a small bottle of sugar  water, which attracts the birds that land all   around you.  The joy and thrill of having one of 

these birds perching  on your finger and drinking
from a bottle is truly awesome, once in a lifetime experience.

Also, remember to bring your camera!  You should not pass up the opportunity to take a photo with Jamaica’s national bird, the stunning Doctorbird.   There are many of them here as well.

If you are planning a trip to Jamaica, especially the Montego Bay area, the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary is an absolute MUST!  You will enjoy the exquisite beauty of the birds, the calm and tranquil environment and leave feeling a deeper connection to nature with an experience of a lifetime.



Best Transportation Service Montego Bay Airport


The Riu Chain of hotels have been reaping success in Jamaica. Since the opening of the Riu Palace in Montego Bay, they have built and open another. This is called the Riu Reggae which incidentally a adults only facility as well. 
Best Jamaica Travels the number one transportation service in Jamaica offers high quality private shuttle service to the Riu Reggae as super low rates yet not compromising high quality service. Although the hotel is just a 5 minute drive from the airport, booking the best transportation service is paramount to create beautiful Jamaica memories.
Renowned as a family resort, Riu Jamaica will open its first adults-only hotel, Riu Palace Jamaica Hotel, nine days shy of the upcoming winter tourist season. The 238-room resort, in the tourism capital, Montego Bay, St James, is on target for a December 6 opening and its regional sales manager, Niurka Garcia-Linton, is already reporting 60 per cent booking.
According to Garcia-Linton, this figure is estimated to reach a high of 80 per cent during Christmas and the New Year.

She said the strong pace in bookings is because of guests she describes as "collectors". These are guests who, "once they stay at one Riu Palace for instance, they want to experience the others," said Garcia-Linton. The vibrancy of the hotel chain's source markets also accounts for the vigorous advanced bookings.
Garcia-Linton was addressing members of the media during a tour of the new facilities last Friday.The hotel neighbours the existing Riu Montego Bay, and its guests (Riu Palace Jamaica) will have access to the facilities at the sister property.
The new resort is not the only hotel that the chain will offer an adult option to. Within months, the deluxe wing at ClubHotel Riu Ocho Rios will cater to adults 18 years and over, said the group's director of sales, Angella Bennett.
She pointed out that this latest investment by the group, which is now Jamaica's largest all-inclusive operator, is valued at US$43 million. This money includes the cost of construction, purchase of the land and equipment.
The director of sales outlined that although Riu Jamaica Palace will be the smallest in the group of five resorts on the island, service here would be more personalised and clients will enjoy great attention to detail. The property will offer three categories of rooms, junior suites, suites and jacuzzi suites with a modern design, a relaxing atmosphere, and beautiful sea views.
"Guests will also enjoy all the quality features clients expect at a Riu Palace Hotel, such as 24-hour room service, full-size bottle liquor dispensers, separate shower and hydromassage bathtubs, bathrobe, 42'' flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi and the fully stocked mini bar, all of which is included in the All-Inclusive by Riu programme," said an elated Bennett.
