Rhodes Hall Plantation
Visitors who tire of Jamaica's beaches can head for its gorgeous
countryside, to the small estate of Rhodes Hall Plantation, a short
distance east of Negril. Here guided horseback excursions give a
glimpse of the magic and mystery of the Jamaican countryside, and
you don't have to be an experienced rider to participate. Guides
give some basic horsemanship tips and then take tourists off
through the foothills, pointing out botanical wonders and regaling
riders with stories and legends about local landmarks. The tours
include riding through forests of banana and coconut palms, and
along a beach to the Crocodile River (which really has crocodiles
in residence). The riding tours last from half an hour to two
hours, and are inclusive in the round-trip transportation from any
hotel in the Negril area.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language of Jamaica is English but a local
patois is also spoken, a mixture of English, Spanish, and various
African languages.
Money
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is divided into 100 cents. The island
is well supplied with ATMs, banks and bureaux de change. Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday from 9am to 2pm, and Friday
from 9am to 4pm. Cambio exchange offices are found throughout the
country, open later than banks and often offering better exchange
rates. Retain receipts as proof of legal currency exchange.
Exchange bureaux at the airports and hotels also offer better rates
than banks. Major credit cards and travellers cheques are widely
accepted. Both cash and travellers cheques are best taken in US
Dollars.
