More on what to see

Falmouth, the capital of Trelawny, holds the largest collection of Georgian buildings in Jamaica. Sugar fortunes made Falmouth a cosmopolitan town in the seventeen hundreds, and the industry's decline took both its profits and its standing with it. The tourist board describes Falmouth as both a Jamaican National Heritage Site and a United Nations World Heritage Site, and the second half of that does not match the UNESCO list, which carries one Jamaican property and it is the Blue and John Crow Mountains. The Martha Brae Rafter's Village is less than fifteen minutes from the Falmouth cruise port. Falmouth Mystic Lagoon is open for tours and take-out. Spicy Nice Bakery in Falmouth's Water Square sells patties and coco bread. The Falmouth food tour, run with Falmouth Heritage Walks, is a two-and-a-half-hour guided walk sampling local food. Food carts in Falmouth sell roast yam or breadfruit, pan chicken, jelly coconut, sugar cane and fruit. Black River and Falmouth were slated for redevelopment, and the towns are to be moved further inland.

What shaped Falmouth today?

The Falmouth update was given at the post-Cabinet briefing on Wednesday 7 October. Falmouth's main A&E ward was about 90 per cent complete, with air-conditioning still to be installed.

How to compare airport transfers

  • Road tolls and airport access fees are included by some providers and added by others; the quote says which.
  • For a late-night or early-morning arrival, confirm the provider serves that hour and whether a night surcharge applies.
  • Compare the cancellation deadline with your flight's own change rules, so both can still be changed together.

How to compare places to stay

  • Look at the final total with taxes and charges, not only the nightly figure in the search results.
  • See the free-cancellation date on the rate, if it has one, before you commit.
  • Look at the map view to see how far the property is from the beach, the centre or the airport.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Sort the platform's reviews by date and read the most recent for the outing you want.
  • Operators list age and fitness limits and what to bring; check those lines.
  • Check what happens in bad weather: some activities are rescheduled and others refunded.

How to compare car rental

  • Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
  • Find the exclusions list in the cover terms.
  • Read what the insurance in the price covers and how large the excess is.

Before you book

  • Enter names as they appear on your passport when a booking form requests them.
  • Payment belongs on the provider's site; treat off-site payment requests with care.
  • A lower price often reflects fewer inclusions, so read both lists.
  • Check official government advice for your destination before you book and again before you travel.
  • Write down the last date for a free change.

How Aurum fits in

The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. The provider sets price, availability and terms, and shows them on its site. Providers are listed only for places their coverage is verified for.

Does Aurum show prices for travel services?

On the provider's site. Aurum lists providers and where their coverage is verified; the provider gives the price for your dates.

What if I need to cancel a booking?

That depends on the provider's terms for the offer you chose. They are shown at checkout and in your confirmation. Aurum cannot change a booking, because it holds none.

Is it better to book travel services early?

Availability and prices are set by each provider and move with demand. If your dates are fixed, compare early and check each offer's free-cancellation terms, so a booking can still be changed.

What is the Where line on each card?

The area the partner database records as verified for that provider: worldwide, a country, or named places and airports. The provider's own site confirms whether your exact location is included.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

It may not be an Aurum partner, or its coverage of this place may not be recorded yet. The points on this page apply to any travel services provider you compare, listed here or not.

Should I treat this page as advice?

No. It is information, not a recommendation. Your own needs decide, the provider confirms the specifics, and professional questions belong with a qualified adviser.

Why are these travel services providers shown and not others?

Those with an active link and verified coverage on record for the page. A provider without recorded coverage for a place is left off that place's page.

Who do I contact about a booking?
