I am planing a 3 week stay in Jamaica in July. I have picked
out a number of small inns and guesthouses where I am
interested in staying. The question I have is how does one
make reservations at these smaller, out-of-the-way places
without having to run a large international long distance
phone bill? Are reservations necessary? Most travel agents
can't/won't make arrangments as these smaller places do not
pay commissions. I surfed the web and I have not found much
help. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Sid, you can look at some Inns of Jamaica by pointing your
browser to this URL - www.discoverjamaica.com/gleaner/inus/
If you do not find anything of interest at the website, it
is not comprehensive in its coverage of the small hotels,
then go to the Jamaica Tourist Board's website at -
www.wwb.com/company/c006423.html
On the website you will see the link "email directory to
company", make use of it. You will also see a list of
available material from the board.
If you have any problems with the info. I have given you
feel free to e-mail me.

Sid, my previous message is off base as I had mis-read your
post. I had not noticed that you have already selected some
names. The Jamaica Tourist Board may be able to help you
with e-mail addresses or fax numbers.
The first website I gave you does give fax numbers for the
hotels listed, maybe you have chosen one of those listed on
the website. Hope I have helped.

Can you find your selections in these listings?
www.villa-jamaica.com/links
You can also try a direct query to islanders and tourists by
going to www.jamaicans.com then going down to the Interact
link, then selecting Tourist Message Board. There is also
another link directory behind this site at
www.jamaicans.com/links
try www.toptours.com - they are an inbound travel agent
(mainly deal with trade) but they may be able to book them
for a small fee.
