My parents, having been to Jamaica, said that Nassau and Freeport didn’t even compare to the beautiful water and beaches of Jamaica. They said that your eyes are captivated by the gorgeous exotice plant life and the colors of birds. The smell of the ocean hits your nose and the warmth of the sun immediately touches your skin. They described the amazing hidden waterfalls and the colorful coral reefs under the water. After their amazing description I could not wait to go there.
