Hello there

We are arriving at Montego Bay Airport and thought going to Negril for a few days and then going towards Ocho Rios to do Dunns River Falls and Blue Hole (in the same day) staying one night in ocho Rios and then next day go to Blue Lagoon rafters (staying there in port Antonio or so)

but… seems like a lot of travel so I thought since we really like Negril (for what it says) maybe we skip Blue Lagoon Rafters and go to Dunns River fall and blue hole one day from Negril? So we can stay more days in Negril.

I’m not sure how expensive are the transfers from city to city …

Also, We are gonna do the last 3 nights at an all inclusive in Monego Bay but didn’t want to move from there ( I’m saying this bc could be a possibility to do that one day we leave the all inclusive to go Dunns river and blue hole)

What do you suggest?
Thanks :)

When visiting Jamaica, I usually stay at an all inclusive hotel where tipping is expected but not mandatory. I always tip the hotel staff, but when I’m off the property, what is the tipping culture like? For example, if you get gas or dine out at restaurants, is tipping expected or required?

Looking for a reliable and reasonably priced driver to take 2 adults from the Airport to Negril

Heard it would be some time in late August 2026. Has anyone been by the property lately does it look like they're making progress fixing the hurricane damage?

Thinking about traveling in late September but don't want to roll the dice on it not being back up and running.

Any local intel on the status?

We leave for our honeymoon Saturday and will be in Negril from Saturday to Friday. Our weather app is saying rain & lightening every single day. Is this their rainy season?😅 & if you’ve been to Jamaica recently has it rained almost every day?

Our travel agent recommended Jamaica but did not inform us that it would be rainy season, if that’s the case.

Hey Guys! Im going to be solo travelling to jamaica for one week (June 13 - 20) and am looking for tips on where to spend my time and things to do. I like to get out and do local things, dont plan on staying in an all inclusive. Where should I go? Negril? Ocho Rios? Down to Kingston? Very into outdoorsy adventurous things as well. Thanks for the tips!

Hi, I am looking for a driver for about 9 hours who is able to take me/my wife from my resort to a few places (all within about 30 mins) like Scotchies, Doctors Cove, Rose Hall Plantation, cocktail bar, and eventually back to the resort. How much does this typically cost? Does the driver stay with you the entire time?

Hi,

I am heading to Riu Montego Bay mid June for 7 days.

Looking todo something 5 of the 7 days, and wondering if there are any tour guides who can help book everything?

I’m researching on my own and create an itinerary but would trust a local to know better than my googling and planning and booking.

Any referrals will be helpful! And opinions on tour guides vs doing it all on my own.

Thanks in advance

We are looking into booking a trip in August, September or October, which month is good to visit for our trip time?

As tourists, returning residents, or local, If there was a private cabin where the White River runs right through the property, swimming holes included, security on site, walking distance to all attractions, would you book it and what would you pay?

Hello all!! I visited Jamaica for the first time last April, and fell in love! I stayed at the Grand Palladium Jamaica side, & loved the entire experience. I was wondering if there were any other resorts that are recommended for a nice, relaxing stay with a good lounge/ bar area that stays open late with good music. I'll be solo F,30s again for this trip.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Heading to Jamaica for the first time in July for 2 weeks and interested in people’s thoughts on how many bottles of sunscreen is recommended for a 2 week stay?

My debit card is discover and haven’t been able to find an atm/ bank that takes cash out in Montego Bay. I was really looking forward to going to this club but have heard mixed things about if they take card or are cash only. Are they cash only?
