It’s always a great idea to rent a Jamaica villa and plan the perfect vacation on this incredible Caribbean island, but next year may be the best time ever for Caribbean family vacations in Jamaica.   So why not plan now to visit Jamaica in 2012.

First off, there are the 2012 Summer Olympics.  Sure, they’re in London, but in Beijing in 2008, Jamaica won a record number of Olympic medals, and we’re expecting to out-do that in London in 2012.   You may remember Jamaica’s stand out performance in Beijing.  The incredible sprinter Usain “Lightning” Bolt started off Jamaica’s best ever Olympic performance, with a gold medal in the men’s 100 meter, paving the way for six gold medals, three silver and two bronze.   Bolt and his teammates, including sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser, came home stars.

Bolt will compete again in London, in a uniform designed by Bob and Rita Marley’s daughter, Cedella Marley.  You can certainly expect that in the weeks leading up to the 2012 Summer Olympics, Jamaica will be reaching a fever pitch of excitement, and during the Games, there won’t be a bar or restaurant in the country not showing Jamaica’s world class athletes as they race.

The other reason to plan to rent a villa at the Tryall Club Jamaica in 2012 is that we’re celebrating Jamaica’s 50th anniversary of Independence.   There will be year-long festivities, and you can bet plenty of food, dancing and music, as the entire country puts on a party to celebrate a half a century of being a proud country, making its mark on the world stage.
