Ahhh, Jamaica! You might be getting drawn in by the white-sand beaches of this Caribbean paradise. However, you're not so charmed by thoughts of big restaurant bills and resort fees.
Are all-inclusive resorts worth it?
Depending on what is included, a stay at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica could be perfect for your budget. If you picture long, lazy days spent hanging by the pool while you sip a cocktail, then you'll usually get your money's worth.
What is included in all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica?
You can expect to have most food, beverages, and domestic beer and wine included. You'll often find a surcharge attached to bottles of wine, top-shelf cocktails, and premium meals.
Jamaican resorts like the Hilton Rose Hall Resort and Spa and Meliá Braco Village include some extras. The in-room minibar will be yours to pillage, and non-motorized water activities—like kayaking and windsurfing—are up for grabs.
Do you tip at an all-inclusive resort?
It all comes down to what you're most comfortable with. If you received incredibly good service, then most staff members will happily accept a few extra bucks for their efforts. (All inclusive resorts and key tourist areas usually accept US Dollars.)
What is the cheapest time of year to go to Jamaica?
Jamaica is blessed with almost 80-degree weather year-round, so there is never a bad time to go. But September and October are usually the cheapest months, partially because you may encounter more rain than in the summer months.
