Cars 4 Rental Guide To Accomodation in  Jamaica

HOTELS: There are over 144 hotels and guest houses throughout the island; all are subject to 15 per cent general consumption tax. Around 90 per cent of all hotels belong to the Jamaica Hotel & Tourist Association, 2 Ardenne Road, Kingston 10 (tel: 926 3635 or 920 3482; fax: 929 1054; e-mail: info@jhta.org; website: www.jhta.org). There is an annual ‘Spring Break’ over March/April, during which students holidaying in Jamaica are offered discount rates at selected hotels. Contact the Jamaica Tourist Board for details (see Contact Addresses section). Grading: Hotels are government-controlled in four categories: A, B, C and D. The categories are based on rates charged. Many of the hotels offer accommodation according to one of a number of ‘Plans’ widely used in the Caribbean; these include Modified American Plan (MAP), which consists of room, breakfast and dinner, and European Plan (EP), which consists of room only.
