I am looking at some options for later life. I am a single male, early forties, Black Caribbean & I am considering about retiring in Jamaica so I am not interested in working, making money or living in one of the two big cities, I am however more interested in a small house or a gated community in or around the St Ann's area not far from the coast. I was born in the UK but my parents are from Jamaica, I have been there about three times but only as a tourist. I kind of know about the current politics & I have seen the worst and best of what the island has to offer. (To be honest with you I am not interested in politics), just need somewhere warm to have a low key life. i do have the majority of my family their so I am sure I won't get lonely! Has anyone done this & had any regrets or glad they done the move?

Sounds Idyllic !!! The one consideration I would empahasise is your long term plan to have enough income to sustain your lifestyle. Life in the Caribbean is not exactly that cheap anymore. If you can adjust to the pace of life it is viable especially with your family network. Most of the people I know who have retired to Jamaica were around or slightly younger than pensionable age and live off their pensions.

Word of caution: Life can be very nice in Jamaica only if you have the funds!!
