I Went on a Girls Trip to This Luxury, Adults-only Resort in Jamaica — Here's Why It Made Me Love All-inclusives

A few days catching up with my best friend over frothy drinks completely changed my mind about all-inclusive resorts.

Courtesy of Lauren Breedlove

I was lounging in the Jamaican sun, my face tipped to the sky in an effort to soak up every ounce of the vitamin D that my body had been deprived of all winter. Chicken tenders and nachos had just been delivered by a room service attendant who attempted to hide her smile at the scene of our poolside picnic. As if this wasn’t paradise enough, my best friend and I were bobbing around in unicorn and flamingo floats, drinks in hand, toasting to a reunion two years in the making. 

We had just arrived at Excellence Oyster Bay , an adults-only luxury resort just outside of Montego Bay, Jamaica, for the kind of trip I usually avoid: all-inclusives. Not that spending a few days on the beach gorging myself on limitless food and adult beverages sounds terrible by any means, but when I travel, my style is go-go-go. I like to pack in all the things, experience the local culture and cuisine, and venture off the beaten path, and my past few experiences at all-inclusive resorts had been anything but that — crowded and with mediocre, buffet-style food. For that reason, I’d always avoided them, until now. 

My best friend of 30 years and I had thrown around a few ideas when planning a trip to celebrate our 40th birthdays. Despite being long-distance friends for more years than we actually resided in the same city, we had remained close since meeting in 7th grade band practice. After almost two years of not seeing each other, we were ready to celebrate and relax, which meant I needed to let go of my usual travel planning mentality. As it turns out, the turquoise-laden shores of Excellence Oyster Bay was the perfect place to do just that.

I’ll be honest, the thought of spending four days solely on the resort’s property made me a little antsy. But the friendly staff and ocean view from our room kicked relaxation mode in high gear. (The welcome glass of prosecco didn’t hurt, either.) In fact, having zero plans for several uninterrupted days dedicated to catching up with my oldest friend in a low-key setting was liberating. My mind was no longer attempting to maximize every minute; instead, I was entering go-with-the-flow mode — and that called for a frozen drink with my feet in the sand. 

On our first evening, we explored the resort grounds, which were big yet not so sprawling that reaching the opposite end demanded a super-long walk. We caught up over sunset; cotton-candy clouds mirrored in the calm Caribbean. With a smorgasbord of restaurants to choose from, dinnertime was our oyster. Over the course of our stay, we dabbled in Italian cuisine , got fancy at Chez Isabelle , tried local specialties like curried goat and oxtail stew at Caribbean Grove , and indulged in sommelier-picked wines on our final night at Zenith . Some of our favorites were the quick eats for lunch by the pool and beach; spicy jerk chicken at Jerk Hut and the Jamaican patties at Cielo Bar, washed down with a Red Stripe beer, of course. 

We spent mornings at the beach, which, contrary to my prior all-inclusive experiences, were quiet. Since the resort is located on its own private, gated peninsula, there wasn’t anyone trying to sell us anything. Afternoons were for pool-hopping, specifically in the floats I had ordered and painstakingly shoved into my carry-on suitcase, rendering it a lumpy piece of checked luggage (totally worth it). We became known as the "float girls" around the resort, dipping in all four of the communal pools, two of which were exclusive to Excellence Club guests. Excellence Club guests also get access to private beach areas, private check-in and checkout, and a laundry list of other perks.

A hydrotherapy treatment was included in our stay, so we ventured to the Miilé Spa one afternoon for the multistep process that had us both laughing so hard, our cheeks hurt. We bonded over the hot and cold water stations, one of which involved dumping a bucket of cold water over our heads.

There were plenty of activities , from stand-up paddleboarding to biking to yoga classes, and you can choose to do as much or little as you’d like. Surprisingly, I relished in not doing much of anything at all, except hanging out with my best friend and relaxing in the spectacular sunshine. The one thing we knew we couldn’t pass up was a nighttime excursion that had always been on my wish list: seeing bioluminescent water. The resort happens to be a short boat ride from this natural phenomenon, where we were able to swim in the water, creating a light show of electric blue all around us. 

The post-dinner scene was lively, with music and other performances every night. We danced to the Bob Marley cover band, and sometime during karaoke, I realized I was the most relaxed I’d been while traveling in a long time. The trip paid homage to the sleepovers of our teen years, when we had few worries and could always find something to laugh about in between never-ending chatter. Giving into the all-inclusive mentality gifted me permission to chill out and be fully present, and, as it turns out, I didn’t have to choose between a trip centered around cultural and culinary experiences — I could have a bit of both.

I boarded the plane with salty hair, some fresh memories with my best friend, and the small miracle of somehow fitting those pool floats back in my suitcase without breaking the zipper. I think I’ll do it again sometime.

The 10 best beaches in Jamaica

I t’s a bold boast, we know, but nowhere does beaches quite like Jamaica. The compelling Caribbean island boasts some of the most sought after beaches in the world, with a stretch of sand for every occasion and character – one to party, one to play sports, one for families, one for romantic strolls – you get the gist. Soak up the sun, sand and spirit of Jamaica at one of the beaches below.

For further Jamaica inspiration, see our guides to the island's  best hotels ,  restaurants ,  nightlife ,  things to do  and  beaches . Use our  insider guide  to plan your trip.

Find a beach by area

Montego bay and northwest coast.

• Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & North Coast

Negril and the West Coast

• Kingston, Blue Mountains & Southeast Coast

South Coast and Central Highlands

Doctor’s cave bathing club, montego bay.

It would be criminal to visit Montego Bay without spending at least one day topping up the tan at Doctor’s Cave Beach Club. Consistently hailed as one of the island’s best beaches, Doctor’s Cave is named for the healing properties of the water and attracts locals and visitors alike. Despite the $8 (£6.50) admission fee (which also helps keep out the beach hustlers), the beach can become as busy as a Bookies on Grand National Day so arrive early to select your spot. Aside from sugary sand and azure waters dotted with floating dive platforms, it offers a decent restaurant, Sand, serving tasty Jamaican and American fare as well as cold Red Stripe beers.

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & North coast

Boston beach.

Boston Bay may be best known for its highly spiced traditional jerk recipe (cooked by digging a hole in the sand on the beach, lighting a fire and slow cooking for hours on end) but it’s equally famous for its cute beach, with its golden sands and surfer-friendly waves. If you’re in the mood for a surfing lesson, stop by Boston Bay Surfing and say Telegraph Travel sent you. Boston Bay is a private beach, meaning you’ll be charged a small entry fee, but it features an adequate restaurant, showers, changing rooms and a lifeguard.

Frenchman’s Cove, Port Antonio

Is this the prettiest beach in the entire Caribbean? We think so. Sun sybarites can look forward to a small strip of postcard-perfect white sand ringed by miniature, forested headlands and flanked on one side by a perfectly turquoise lagoon in which you can swim. Little wonder then that Frenchman's Cove Beach featured in the film Knight and Day. This tiny cove is owned by Frenchman’s Cove Resort, a Jamaican grande dame that has been entertaining celebrities for decades, who charge guests $2,000JMD (approx £10) per day to access the beach.

James Bond Beach

Located on Jamaica's northeastern coast, within easy driving distance of Ocho Rios, the spectacular James Bond Beach is surrounded by crystal-clear water on three sides and juxtaposed against the backdrop of the lush St Mary’s mountains. This charming strip of white sand is where Sean Connery watched Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) stride in from the sea in Dr No. Ian Fleming wrote the novel in early 1957 at his  Goldeneye estate  (now a stylish resort) which lies directly opposite the beach, although it’s partially hidden by a lush tropical forest. As Jamaican beaches go, James Bond Beach is a quiet one, although it does come to life a little more at weekends.

Winnifred Beach

Winnifred Beach (also known as Fairy Hill Beach) is one of the last remaining free public beaches in Jamaica and is hugely popular with local families who famously embarked on a five-year legal battle ( Free Winnifred ) with a government agency, who had hoped to hand the beach over to a hotel developer and thereby threatening the beach’s public access. Used as the setting for the Robin Williams movie Club Paradise, Winnifred’s clear, calm waters make it perfect for snorkelling – but you’ll need to bring your own equipment. There are food and drink stands and music at the weekends and on public holidays. Unpaid locals currently manage and clean the beach.

Puerto Seco beach

If you’ve got kids in tow, you need calm waters, soft, clean sand, toilets, and plenty to entertain toddlers and teens alike. Enter Discovery Bay’s Puerto Seco beach park which delivers on all of the aforementioned in, buckets and spades. You’ll have to pay a small entry fee but it’s worth it for the water park alone: expect slides, trampolines, and rock climbing features. Elsewhere the on-site Santa Maria restaurant serves up reasonable beach fare – read fries, burgers et al. Telegraph Travel tip: Puerto Seco is packed with (wealthy) locals come the weekend but, visit during the week, and you’ll have your very own private beach.

Seven Mile Beach, Negril

Any tour of the island is bound to include a visit to Seven Mile Beach, a gorgeous four-mile (don't ask) stretch of sand that glints in the sunshine with the sparkle of a newly wed’s solitaire. Back in the 1960s, the beach was a hippie hang-out. Fast forward to today and it has been developed – it’s lined with nightclubs, restaurants, bars and water sport outfits – but the white sand remains as stunning as ever. Enjoy a gentle stroll along the water before watching the sunset at Rick’s Café, a Negril institution perched atop rocky cliffs near the southern end of the West End Road. Make no mistake: visitors are bused in from as far away as Ocho Rios to watch the nightly sunset show, before flinging themselves off the cliffs 60ft down into the water. 

Kingston, Blue Mountains and Southeast coast

Looking to learn to surf? Make a beeline for Bull Bay, aka the birthplace of Jamaica’s surfing scene. In Bull Bay, a small town approximately half an hour’s drive east of the capital, you’ll find Jamnesia surf camp. Jamaica's longest running surf school is run by the charismatic Billy Wilmot, who will have you standing and surfing by the end of your first lesson. As well as lessons, Jamnesia offers board rental (half price if you stay at the hostel) and summer camps such as #SurfLikeAGirl. Regardless of which package you pump for, surfing at Bull’s Bay is a great way to get the blood flowing early in the morning before you plug into the Kingston vibe. 

Want to escape the craziness of Kingston? Lime Cay , a small, low-lying island cay that’s 15 minutes away by boat from Port Royal, provides the perfect respite. Immortalised in the final showdown of the movie The Harder They Come, it tends to be calm during the week but comes alive at the weekend when Kingstonians descend in their droves. Sundays in particular positively buzz with music, laughter and good vibes. Note there are no facilities on the cay so bring your own food, drink and sunscreen. Trips can be arranged from Morgan’s Harbour, close to the Norman Manley International Airport.

Treasure Beach

For darker sand, head to Treasure Beach – the umbrella term for four coves: Billy’s Bay, Frenchman’s Bay, Calabash Bay and Great Bay – where the beaches are the antithesis of their north coast counterparts. And unlike its northern siblings, the community at Treasure Beach does a good job of keeping the temptations of development in check (you won’t find any high-rise hotels or all-inclusive resorts lining the beaches here). One caveat: the sea on the south coast of the island is known to be rough with heavy undertows – this is where writer Decca Aitkenhead’s partner, Tony, tragically died rescuing their son from a riptide – so swimmers need to take care and not to venture too far from the shore.

The best all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica, from honeymoon hot spots to family-friendly resorts

Jamaica is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean — and it's easy to understand why. This island nation has a bit of everything, from beaches and rivers to mountains and rainforests.

Not to mention, it's easy to reach from the U.S. thanks to numerous direct flights from Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines and others. Even budget-friendly Southwest has a fair share of flights to Jamaica .

But let's face it: What draws most people to Jamaica is its resorts.

Hotels are plentiful here, but many of Jamaica's standout properties are those with all-inclusive packages. Whether you're seeking an adults-only oasis or a family-friendly property with a massive water park, you'll find an all-inclusive option that suits your needs.

These are the best all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica — and everything you need to know about each.

Right on Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach, Azul Beach Resort Negril is made for families who prefer to be in or by water as much as possible while on vacation.

Guests can walk to the sprawling Kool Runnings Adventure Park complex to enjoy waterslides, tubing and more when they're not busy kayaking or snorkeling at the beach. Four swimming pools, including one that's part of the resort's kids club, are also available to cool off in on a hot Caribbean day.

Beyond the water-based activities and facilities, visitors can try out various pursuits on the resort grounds, such as archery and basketball. All kinds of locally inspired classes, which focus on everything from basket weaving to Jamaican cooking, are also available.

This property caters to families with its plethora of kid-centric inclusions (think: loaner strollers, bottle warmers and complimentary baby food in restaurants). However, adults will find several amenities made just for them, too.

There are margarita and wine tastings, fitness classes like pilates and beach boot camp, and a spa with various fee-based services, such as massages and facials.

When stomachs start to grumble, enjoy a meal at one of six restaurants serving Caribbean, Italian and Thai, among other cuisines. Don't miss dinner at Mahogany, which hosts themed nights and features an open kitchen so you can watch all the culinary action as your food is prepared.

After a busy day in the sun, retreat to one of 283 suites. Each has a furnished balcony or terrace and modern beach decor featuring blond wood, white and beige textiles, a neutral tile floor and colorful pops of turquoise or blue in throw pillows and wall art. Upgrade to a swim-up suite for direct access to a lazy river.

All-inclusive rates at Azul Beach Resort Negril start at $509 per night, based on double occupan cy.

Part of the Sandals family of all-inclusive resorts, Beaches Negril is the place for nonstop family fun right along Seven Mile Beach. Younger guests can spend their days at the teens club or kids camp, where they may spot some of their favorite Sesame Street characters. Adults can enjoy a treatment at the on-site spa (charges apply).

For family fun in the sun, visit the water park to zip down slides or head to the beach to borrow complimentary water sports equipment like kayaks, Hobie Cat sailboats, paddleboards and snorkeling gear. If you're a competitive crew, consider challenging each other to a friendly game of basketball, soccer, tennis or beach volleyball.

On-site dining options are diverse, offering something for even the pickiest of eaters. You'll have 10 different venues from which to choose, including the Italian-focused Venetian, the casual Bar B Q Park, a pizzeria and a seafood restaurant where you can dine directly on the sand. For seemingly endless options, visit the buffet-style Mill.

Once you've filled up on gourmet fare, retreat to your family-friendly accommodation. All 185 rooms and suites have contemporary beach decor like tropical fish wall art and white and blue color schemes.

They also offer flexible sleeping arrangements such as double beds or king-size beds with pullout sofas or daybeds with trundles. Standard suites come with flat-screen TVs, stocked minifridges and private balconies or patios, while upgraded accommodations offer concierge or butler services.

All-inclusive rates at Beaches Negril start at $872 per night, based on double occupancy.

In Negril on Jamaica's west coast, The Caves is an alluring all-inclusive resort that is the opposite of a cookie-cutter hotel.

Each of the 12 accommodations, which include one- and two-bedroom cottages and a three-bedroom villa, is built on the cliffs, offering phenomenal views of the property's gardens, the Caribbean Sea or the Blue Hole — a mineral spring within a deep cave.

The Caves' intimate, mostly child-free setting — kids 15 and younger are only permitted to stay in the Clandestino villa — makes this resort a terrific spot for couples.

Duos can cool off in the saltwater pool, partake in complimentary yoga classes, dive into the cerulean sea for a snorkeling adventure or indulge in a treatment at spa (for an additional fee). Opt for a body wrap using aloe vera grown on-site or a body scrub featuring Caribbean brown sugar or Blue Mountain coffee for a dose of relaxation with a Jamaican twist.

While the property's small size means it lacks an abundance of dining options, know that the quality of the cuisine is top-notch.

There's the Bamboo Terrace, where visitors can fill up on tasty Caribbean fare at night and wash it down with drinks served from a 24-hour bar with an eye-catching painting of Bob Marley. Closer to the water is The Gazebo, an alfresco venue that serves Jamaican breakfast delicacies like steamed callaloo (a mixture of local vegetables) and bammy (a thick flat bread made with cassava).

To dial up the romance, arrange a private dinner in one of the resort's caves or watch the sunset from the waterside Blackwell Rum Bar, which is carved into volcanic cliffs. There's also a beach bar, should you prefer to cuddle on the sand.

All-inclusive rates at The Caves start at $490 per night, based on double occupancy.

Jutting out into the Caribbean Sea from its perch on a private peninsula on Jamaica's north coast, this adults-only, all-inclusive resort is made for relaxation seekers who wish to be far from the typical beach crowds.

The all-inclusive rate covers all kinds of low-key activities, including yoga classes, bocce ball, paddle boarding and snorkeling. You'll also have access to five swimming pools and four hot tubs if you'd rather unwind with a cocktail or a good book in hand.

In addition to various water sports, fitness pursuits and wet facilities, guests can check out the Miilé Spa, where a hydrotherapy area with Swedish saunas, an ice room and more complement the treatment spaces. Book the outdoor treatment cabana for your massage or facial (charges apply) for sea views while you're pampered.

When you've worked up an appetite, venture to one of 11 dining venues — two of which are only accessible to Excellence Club guests.

Chez Isabelle is the ideal choice for a romantic date night, as the menu features French fare and an extensive selection of wines from the restaurant's cellar. For something a bit more casual, check out the Jerk Hut (the poolside Jamaican barbecue restaurant) or the waterfront Kitchen Table (an international buffet open daily for breakfast and lunch).

Accommodations include 315 suites with modern sea-inspired decor, marble bathrooms with rain showers, spacious bedrooms with furnished balconies, two-person Jacuzzis and boxes for discreet room service deliveries. Pricier suites offer extras like private plunge pools.

Reserve an Excellence Club suite for additional amenities, such as access to private beach areas, concierge service, upgraded Bvlgari toiletries and daily in-suite snacks.

All-inclusive rates at Excellence Oyster Bay start at $624 per night, based on double occupancy.

This massive 537-suite property in northwest Jamaica touts itself as family-friendly, and it's easy to see why. Abundant activities and facilities keep children of all ages — and their parents — entertained day and night.

Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa's most impressive feature is its expansive pool complex, which includes four pools (some with swim-up bars) and a water park with colorful slides. There are also various courts for tennis, basketball and beach volleyball, and families can take advantage of unusual (but welcome) amenities like a miniature golf course and an archery field.

Odds are you're considering Jamaica for a beach vacation. If that's the case, you're in luck, as Grand Palladium Jamaica has a beach with all kinds of activities. Though you'll have to pay for most water sports, select ones like kayaking and snorkeling do not cost extra. Younger guests won't want to miss the kids club, which is divided into three age-appropriate spaces for babies, young children and teens.

With all there is to do on-site, it's easy to work up an appetite. Fortunately, the resort's all-inclusive package covers all meals and drinks at 12 restaurants and bars, so you'll never go hungry. Check out the buffets for local and international dishes, or try a la carte eateries specializing in Mexican, Japanese, Indian and Italian fare.

Entry-level suites measure roughly 570 square feet and feature living areas, furnished terraces or balconies and bathrooms with separate showers and tubs. Expect modern-day essentials like flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and stocked minibars.

Guests seeking an extra dose of relaxation will love that the property has two spas, including one offering beachfront treatments. Available spa services range from massages with Jamaican herbs and gemstone facials to specialty treatments designed to help those with sinus issues or side effects from chemotherapy. There's even a treatment menu for kids as young as 5, should little ones wish to accompany their parents for a day of pampering.

Dining options include eight on-site restaurants, a coffee shop and room service, and the dishes mostly highlight local fare.

Choose from the quick-service Jerk Hut for casual Jamaican bites, a beachfront seafood establishment featuring regional catches, the aptly named Rum Factory (where you can pair your Jamaican meal with a local rum) and a buffet restaurant serving a mix of Caribbean and international dishes. Only the dishes served at Italian-influenced Three Palms cost extra.

For a restful night's sleep, retreat to your modern sea-inspired room or suite. The design is simple but elegant, with mostly white decor complemented by blue accent walls and curtains.

Adults-only Hotel Riu Montego Bay is among the least expensive all-inclusives in Jamaica, making it a terrific accommodation option for adults seeking a kid-free atmosphere on a budget.

The beachfront property is less than five miles away from Montego Bay's airport and the Rose Hall Great House (a restored, historic mansion from the 1700s), so guests don't have to worry about long drives on travel and sightseeing days.

However, visitors may find few reasons to leave the amenity-packed property, as it houses just about anything they could desire while on vacation.

There is a large, clean beach, a spa, a fitness center and five swimming pools (including one with a swim-up bar). Additionally, there's Splash Water World, a water park with various waterslides. At night, guests can attend theme parties, listen to live music, dance in the on-site nightclub and more.

Like other Riu resorts, Hotel Riu Montego Bay's room rates cover all meals and drinks. Dining options include a poolside steakhouse, an Italian restaurant, a quick-service jerk station and an international buffet open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For drinks, guests can visit a lobby bar, a lounge and a sports bar, among other options.

The 826 rooms and suites serve as a modern place to retire for the night, with wood and tile floors, contemporary dark wood furnishings and white, navy blue and beige color schemes.

All have stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs, beverage dispensers and private balconies or terraces, some with lovely views of the Caribbean Sea.

All-inclusive rates at Hotel Riu Montego Bay start at $332 per night, based on double occupancy.

Hyatt fans have a few options in Jamaica, including the family-friendly Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and the adults-only Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall next door. Both in Montego Bay's beachfront resort area, these neighboring all-inclusive resorts attract Hyatt loyalists seeking a healthy dose of sun and sand.

You'll never be short of places to relax, as there's a beach, a spa, three pools (one at the Hyatt Zilara and two at the Hyatt Ziva) and numerous spots for kicking back, such as by the fire pits, in hot tubs and along the boardwalk gazebo.

The large rooms — 344 of which are at the Hyatt Zilara and 277 of which can be found at the Hyatt Ziva — are ideal for unwinding, too.

With at least 493 square feet of space, they have modern furnishings and white and beige color schemes with either blue or purple accents. Most come with furnished terraces overlooking the resort grounds or ocean, though some have swim-up access to a semi-private pool and butler service.

For a little more action, head to the resort's massive fitness center. The 24-hour facility is packed with cardio and strength-training equipment. Additionally, there are various fitness classes at the boardwalk and activities pool.

Enjoy live entertainment like Caribbean steel drum, dance and theatrical performances at both resorts as well. For the little ones, there's a kids club, where children can partake in supervised activities such as beach sports and pajama parties.

Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort that sits side by side with its sister resort (Secrets St. James Montego Bay) on a quiet peninsula, so guests can expect a modicum of privacy while staying here.

Unlike other megaresorts in the Montego Bay area, the crowd at both of these properties is mostly composed of older couples and friend groups who like to both party and relax, meaning you'll find activities that best suit your preference at any given time.

Rates include activities like bicycle tours, dance classes, kayaking, cooking lessons, snorkeling and tennis, plus the use of multiple pools and hot tubs. You can also attend live shows in an open-air theater, beach parties and more without incurring additional charges.

Sandals Royal Caribbean is a world unto itself, with a private island and the option to stay in a beachfront room or an overwater bungalow. Despite sitting within Montego Bay's resort area, the adults-only property feels intimate and quiet, making it ideal for couples.

At the 232-room resort, you'll find a mix of old and new buildings, giving you a wide variety of room types and styles. There are rooms with more traditional colonial-style furnishings like four-poster beds and matching dark wood TV consoles, plus airy accommodations with light wood furniture and beachy colors. Some offer a more modern take on Caribbean decor, with sleek dark wood furniture and pops of turquoise, navy blue and gold.

No matter which room you choose, you'll find a stocked minifridge and a balcony or patio. Splurge on an upgraded suite for extras like butler service and direct access to a beach or shared pool. Some overwater bungalows even come with private plunge pools and suspended daybeds for prime waterfront lounging.

Spa services and local excursions are also available for a fee.

When you need a bite to eat, make your way to one of nine restaurants. Everything from Thai and French to Indian and traditional Caribbean is served here. You can also take the resort's complimentary shuttle to Sandals Montego Bay, where there are 21 additional restaurants that are free to dine at as a Sandals Royal Caribbean guest.

All-inclusive rates at Sandals Royal Caribbean start at $298 per person, based on double occupancy.

Welcoming visitors to the town of Falmouth since it opened its doors in 2016, the all-suite, 228-key Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay is made for beach-loving families. This kid-friendly, all-inclusive resort is right on the shore, so families can spend their vacation splashing in the Caribbean sea and playing on beautiful white sand.

Don't assume this all-inclusive is only about the beach, though. Younger guests will love zipping down slides at the pirate-themed water park and interacting with the resort's mascot, Turbo the Turtle, at the kids club. There's even a separate teens lounge for the older kids in your crew.

For guests traveling sans children or enjoying a few hours away from little ones while they're at the kids club, the resort offers several adult-oriented amenities. Book a treatment at The Royal Spa (charges apply) or try out complimentary activities like dance lessons, tennis, cooking classes and kickboxing when you're not floating on the lazy river.

Right on the beach in Montego Bay's resort area, the Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa attracts families keen on relaxing in the Caribbean sun.

Though you won't find an activities calendar jam-packed with things to do here, guests can unwind by one of two pools (one of which has a swim-up bar) or try water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing at the beach.

Younger visitors can also play arcade and video games, take part in arts and crafts projects, go on scavenger hunts and more at the kids club and teens lounge while adults enjoy a yoga class or treatment at the spa (charges apply).

When your entire group is back together, catch up while filling up on gourmet fare at one of seven on-site restaurants. The property's two outdoor grills and international buffet are ideal for a casual meal, while Le Bouchon is the spot to go for steakhouse classics. For Asian fare with an entertaining twist, head to the waterfront Pierside Restaurant for teppanyaki-style dining. Just be sure to make a reservation, as you can't dine at Pierside without one.

You're bound to get a restful night's sleep at Jewel Grande, as each of the 217 suites is spacious, offering at least 806 square feet of elbow room.

Some suites have modern features like 3D accent walls and sleek wooden furnishings, while others are more traditional in design, with wooden four-poster beds, wicker touches and sofas with a tropical floral print. Standard amenities include stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs and balconies with resort or ocean views.

All-inclusive rates at Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa start at $481 per night, based on double occupancy.

Round Hill Hotel and Villas feels like a private club rather than a traditional property, with its tidy rooms, suites and villas sprinkled across 110 acres of prime Montego Bay waterfront. Mostly built in the 1950s, the villas have drawn a who's who of society, including former President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who stayed here for their honeymoon.

All 36 rooms face the ocean, and the interiors were dreamed up by Ralph Lauren, creating a stylish yet comfortable setting, perfect for kicking back in the Caribbean. Expect white sofas, chairs, walls and linens with dark bamboo four-poster beds and bright pink and blue throw pillows for a pop of color.

For a stay that feels extra exclusive, reserve one of the 27 suites or villas. Featuring up to six bedrooms, these accommodations come with private outdoor pools. In a villa, you'll also have the option of enjoying made-to-order breakfasts prepared every morning in your villa's kitchen.

While this property isn't a true all-inclusive resort, guests can book an all-inclusive plan. With this package, you'll receive all meals and drinks without incurring additional fees. Culinary options include the seasonal Grille, which specializes in modern Caribbean fare, and the Seaside Terrace, featuring international staples and dishes highlighting Jamaican flavors.

Several activities are also available to hotel guests. You can play tennis or pickleball, enjoy water sports like snorkeling and paddleboarding, take a guided tour of the hotel's gardens or explore the bay during a glass-bottom boat tour. Don't miss the property's live music lineup, which changes daily to showcase local sounds and musical styles.

All-inclusive rates at Round Hill Hotel and Villas start at $828 per night (excluding taxes and fees), based on double occupancy.

Jamaica Beaches

Explore this living canvas of color and sound with spicy jerk chicken, reggae tunes and over-the-top beaches backed by lush jungle. From the land that gave us Bob Marley and the fastest man on earth, we present to you the destination for your next beach vacation: Jamaica.

Planning Your Beach Vacation to Jamaica

Known by Columbus as “the fairest isle that eyes ever beheld” Jamaica has genial locals and enviable weather year-round, with November through mid-December temperatures ideal for a beach vacation . Travel here requires a $22 USD departure tax, and it’s worth it. Fly in via one of the three international airports and take in the sight of tropical fruits and tangy Caribbean meals at beachside cabanas and roadshacks—with a Bob Marley tune floating through the air, no less. If you decide to rent a car, factor in that they drive on the left side of the road. Many people only know Jamaica for the reggae king himself, but this Caribbean jewel offers much more, including bustling downtowns in Kingston and Montego Bay. Some of the world’s finest coffee comes from the Blue Mountains—which are a popular cycling destination—waterfalls like YS and Dunn’s River are accessible from every major town and forget ziplining, Jamaica has a bobsled through the jungle .

Where to Stay in Jamaica

Jamaica’s main tourist hubs, Kingston, Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios , have unparalleled spreads of beach hotels offering luxury in paradise with convenience to all the island’s special gems.

Montego Bay

Affectionately called “MoBay,” Montego Bay sits on the northwest coast of Jamaica with a lively downtown area, exciting foodie scene and ample beach resorts to choose from. With Sangster International Airport being the largest on the island, and a cruise port in town, Montego Bay is a hub of tourism. Visitors flock to Doctor’s Cave Beach for white sand, turquoise water and floating dive platforms. Guided tours down Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft or tubing down Great River offer fun for all ages. And certified divers will love exploring Airport Reef and Widowmaker’s Cave—just two of Jamaica’s many impressive dive sites. The reputable Half Moon resort draws visitors back to MoBay year after year—with gourmet dining, a full Equestrian Centre and a signature golf course.

Though bustling year-round, Ocho Rios remains the sleepier of Jamaica’s main tourist destinations. This little town was a fishing village until the 1960s but is now known for some of Jamaica’s main attractions like Irie Blue hole, the unique and self-regenerating Dunn’s River Falls and the jurassic-like drive through Fern Gully. Those looking for exhilaration will love the bobsled at Mystic Mountain —it zips you right through the jungle. Just east of Ocho Rios, James Bond hangout GoldenEye Hotel offers accommodations right on the beach.

Home to famous Seven Mile Beach, Negril is lined with beautiful black cliffs and is especially popular with honeymooners and couples. Here you’ll get the laid-back Jamaican vibes you imagine on a beach vacation to Jamaica—like hearing reggae everywhere you go. Luxurious all-inclusive resorts line the beach and an astonishing sunset is always in view as buildings have height restrictions here. Rick’s Cafe is somewhat of an icon—in addition to serving delicious meals, the restaurant is set on cliffs perfect for cliff diving between bites. Off the coast, the Throne Room and Deep Plane dive sites attract divemasters and advanced divers looking for a challenge. On land, YS and Mayfield Falls are only a short drive away.

Jamaica’s lively capital tends to be more popular with business people than tourists, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have vacation-worthy draws. The Bob Marley Museum is here, along with quick access to the lush Blue Mountains. You’ll find an amazing music and nightlife scene here, as well as delicious eats that go beyond jerk chicken . Surprisingly enough, Kingston is a hotspot for surfers, drawing worldwide attention to beaches like the Ranch, Makka, Copa and Lighthouse. Due to it being less touristy, it’s best to stay extra vigilant while exploring this area.

Jamaica’s Best Beaches

With tourism being Jamaica’s main economic driver, it’s no wonder the island is outfitted with the finest beach resorts and accessible natural wonders —plus one of the highest numbers of rum bars per square mile. Seven Mile Beach epitomizes “tropical paradise” in the best sense, with white sand lined with palm trees and luxury resorts on one side, while the other side sparkles turquoise in the sun.

Nature in Jamaica

Once you’ve basked in the sun on a luxury resort beach and indulged at the spa, you’ll carry the positive vibrations you get here—and maybe a bottle of rum—all the way home. Jamaica is buzzing with life, with 200 species of exotic orchids and even more nature thriving both above and below the water. Dive below for some of the best reef sites in the world or trek through dense greenery where waterfalls, rushing rivers and mountain bike trails thrill.

21 things to know before traveling to Jamaica

Apr 18, 2024 • 10 min read

Be ready for your vacation to Jamaica with these top tips on health, safety and etiquette © Peter Phipp / Getty Images

Pulsating reggae and dancehall beats aside, Jamaica ’s natural beauty – gorgeous beaches, jungle-covered mountains and tropical waterfalls – and  world-renowned culinary scene , are what set it apart from other islands in the Caribbean . 

Learning the nation's unspoken rules and etiquette goes a long way toward helping you understand what makes Jamaica such a remarkable place and manage any travel concerns you might have. Here's everything you should know before you go.

1. Choose where to stay wisely

Jamaica is one of the largest islands in the Caribbean, so where you decide to stay depends on what you’re into. For beaches and water sports, Negril and the north coast are your best bets. 

Montego Bay and Ocho Rios combine excellent dining scenes with proximity to natural attractions and buzzy nightlife, though when it comes to the Jamaican music scene, Kingston – the capital – reigns supreme.

Treasure Beach (south coast) and Port Antonio (north coast) offer a taste of low-key, laid-back Jamaica, while those interested in traditional Maroon culture can visit Charles Town on the northeastern coast.

Hiking up Blue Mountain peak and trekking in remote Cockpit Country are best organized from Kingston or Falmouth, respectively.

2. Bring a mosquito net (just in case)  

Jamaican mosquitoes do not carry malaria but there are occasional outbreaks of dengue fever. Some of the guesthouses and hotels don’t provide mosquito nets, so bring your own. 

The best repellent for no-see-ums (midges) – tiny biting insects that live near water, whose bites are extremely itchy – is Avon Skin So Soft.

3. Carry some cash

In upmarket hotels, shops and restaurants credit cards are almost universally accepted. Elsewhere in Jamaica, cash (Jamaican dollars) is king, though in touristy destinations you can largely get by with US dollars.

ATMs and currency exchanges are plentiful in Montego Bay, Kingston and Ocho Rios, though currency exchanges ( cambios ) give you the best rates. A

irport rates are not great, and you’ll get hit with ATM charges if you withdraw cash. Small change is best for buying from street vendors and using public transport. 

4. You can travel during hurricane season

Jamaica is vulnerable to hurricanes during the Atlantic hurricane season (early June to late November); most storms occur between August and October. Timing your visit to Jamaica during hurricane season is possible if you follow a few basic rules:

• Take out travel insurance that covers hurricanes.
• Download a hurricane tracker app.
• Decide (as soon as possible) whether you’ll try to catch an early flight home (which may be expensive/difficult) or hunker down in case of a hurricane.
• Find out whether your hotel/guesthouse has a hurricane shelter, and whether it’s likely to be affected by flooding or landslides, bearing in mind that only hotels with private generators are unlikely to get hit by power outages.
• Charge your electronics and make sure you have a flashlight, first aid kit, and a supply of food and water.
• Comply with evacuation orders.
• Consider relocating closer to the airport in Kingston or Montego Bay to make it easier to get help/get out after a hurricane.
• If Jamaica is hit by a hurricane, have plenty of patience and be prepared to extend your trip.

5. You don't need to hire a car

The main towns in Jamaica are served by a combination of comfortable, air-conditioned buses, crowded minibuses and route taxis.

It’s entirely possible to get around Jamaica using public transportation, though for exploring more remote destinations, you’ll need either ample time and patience or your own set of wheels.

If you plan on  taking a road trip , car hire is available at airports in Kingston and Montego Bay.

Planning to travel around the island? Here's what you need to know about transportation

6. Feel free to let loose on a night out

Casual summer wear is perfectly acceptable for most occasions, though some upscale resorts and pricier restaurants expect smart casual attire. 

At nightclubs in Kingston and Montego Bay, “batty riders” (skin-tight shorts) and similarly figure-hugging tops are a popular choice for women, while men tend to wear jeans and shirts. Remember, the vibe is laid-back and nonjudgemental so staring or judging is unacceptable. 

If something casual and low-key is more your fashion speed, come as you are. It’s a party after all. 

If you’re a newcomer to the dancehall scene , it can be a real eye-opener. The dancing can be pretty suggestive and locals try to outdo each other when it comes to “whining” – gyrating hips and waists to the music.

You’ll likely get pushed into the melee, and then it’s sink or swim time! You’ll get a lot of good-natured remarks from regulars if you give the dancing your best shot, and they might even offer to teach you to dance.

7. Stay up for the nightlife

Jamaica never sleeps. At least, that’s true for Kingston, Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Negril is best for beach parties while Kingston has the slickest nightclubs, the best music events and street dances.

Things rarely get going before midnight and revelers party until sunrise. Overnight reggae and dancehall concerts involve at least a dozen performers, with the audience expressing their enthusiasm with shouts of “bullet bullet,” and two-finger gun salutes. It’s raucous, but typically all in good fun.

Dancehall is more than just music. Learn more about this Jamaican way of life  

8. Do talk to strangers

Unlike many other big cities where striking up conversations with strangers is a massive faux pas, in Jamaica, the opposite is true.

Some Jamaicans will talk with you in the hopes of doing business (see “How to handle hustling and harassment”). Still, many are genuinely interested in learning more about you, and find standoffishness offensive. You’ll find yourself saying “good morning” “good afternoon” and “good night” (in greeting as well as farewell) a whole lot.

Elders are treated with extra respect. An exchange of friendly banter with vendors trying to sell you fruit or souvenirs is infinitely preferable to coldly ignoring people just trying to make a living.

9. Respect Rastafarianism

Around 1% of Jamaicans practice Rastafarianism. This religious and political movement combines Biblical teachings with seeing Ethiopia as the Promised Land, using ganja in order to commune with Jah (God), and living a “natural” lifestyle involving I-tal food (free from artificial additives), and the growing of locs and beards for men.

Some Rastafarians live in small, secluded and self-sustaining communities – outsiders may only visit if they contact the elders in advance to request permission. The Rastafari Indigenous Village outside Montego Bay is a more accessible (and much more touristy) experience.

10. Gentle bartering over prices is common in markets

Gentle haggling is common and expected when you’re buying souvenirs from individual sellers or shopping in local markets.

Elsewhere, you’re expected to pay the stated price. As always, be respectful of the fact this is someone's livelihood and if you're not happy with the price, walk away with a smile.

11. Jamaica is not an LGBTIQ+ friendly country

Jamaican society is largely homophobic and the gay scene in Kingston is firmly underground, with public displays of affection between gay couples strongly inadvisable – sexual acts between men are illegal and punishable by up to 10 years in prison. 

That said, in popular tourist destinations, there are hotels (including some all-inclusive) that welcome LGBTIQ+ travelers.

12. Clean public bathrooms are not easily found

Shopping malls, cafes and restaurants charge for the use of their facilities, which don’t always meet basic hygiene standards, and woe betide you if you need the bathroom away from the hospitality sector.

13. Jamaican tap water is generally drinkable

Jamaica’s tap water is generally safe to drink in most parts of the island. Avoid faucet water in far-flung rural areas, and steer clear of ice, sold at street stands as "bellywash," "snocones" or "skyjuice" (shaved-ice cones sweetened with fruit juice).

While bottled water is readily available, recycling plastic is an issue, so it’s best to bring reusable flasks with you.

14. Vegetarian and vegans can eat well in Jamaica

Plant-based I-tal ("vital") food, an essential tenet of Rastafarianism, is widely available and delicious.

Expect freshly squeezed fruit juices, plantain fritters, steamed callaloo (Jamaica’s answer to spinach), tropical fruit and much more. In non-Rasta eateries, rice ‘n’ peas (rice with kidney beans) is the most common accompaniment to most dishes.

15. Expect hustlers to hustle and sometimes harass

Travelers are extremely likely to encounter constant sales pitches from hustlers, particularly around the major tourist centers or Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios.

Some may be aggressively persistent in the hopes that you’ll buy whatever it is they’re selling just to be left alone; be firm yet polite in your refusals.

16. Avoid common payment scams when taking tours

Common scams involve young men offering transportation to a popular tourist attraction (waterfall, swimming hole) and then claiming that you only paid a one-way fee.

Self-appointed “guides” may come up with various add-ons at the end of tours, so in both cases, be absolutely clear as to what the agreed-upon fee covers before accepting their services.

17. Gang violence doesn't target tourists

Organized crime in Jamaica revolves around gang violence. In the 1970s, Jamaica’s two rival political parties armed their supporters in Kingston’s neighborhoods and set in motion deadly feuds lasting generations.

Today, neighborhoods are controlled by local dons who are no longer reliant on politicians for guns or money.

Gang violence does not target visitors unless you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Opportunistic muggings and pickpocketing do occur, however, so it’s best to take common sense precautions (taking a taxi back at night, carrying as little cash as possible). 

18. Female travelers have reported assaults

If you’re a single woman, you may well find yourself on the receiving end of anything from flirting to blunt propositioning – constant come-ons can be wearying. Be polite yet firm if you are not interested.

There have been a number of assaults on female tourists by staff at some of Jamaica’s top beach resorts over the years, with the allegations mishandled, covered up or with trips refunded in exchange for signing non-disclosure agreements. 

19. Smoking ganja (weed) in public is still illegal

Smoking “di holy herb” is an integral part of life not just for the Rastafari but also for a substantial number of Jamaicans. Weed is ubiquitous and cheap, and you are very likely to be approached by vendors selling joints.

Since 2015, ganja has been decriminalized, and while smoking weed in public is still illegal and punishable with a fine of J$500, you may have up to two ounces for personal use without it going on your criminal record.

Exceptions are made for religious and medical purposes. Several medical dispensaries have opened up around the country (in Kingston, St Ann’s Bay, Falmouth and Montego Bay) where visitors may legally purchase marijuana with a doctor’s prescription, and make use of on-site smoking rooms.

But if you try to take some ganja home at the end of your vacation, you’ll find your Jamaica stay extended by two years in Fort Augusta prison (for women) or Spanish Town prison (for men).

Weed might be decriminalized, but there are still rules.  Here's the situation in Jamaica

20. Other drugs and law enforcement

Besides ganja, cocaine is also widely available (Jamaica is a major trans-shipment point for the Colombia–US route), along with hallucinogenic “tea” made from wild mushrooms.

The global drugs trade helps to fuel gang violence (particularly in Kingston and Montego Bay) and penalties for possession of hard drugs are severe.

You may encounter roadblocks and random car searches, performed by police in combat gear; occasional extortion to supplement wages is not unheard of. Don’t accept drinks from strangers in nightclubs since date rape drugs are a concern.

21. Driving in Jamaica is not for the fainthearted

In contrast to their typical laid-back attitude, many Jamaicans drive hard and fast, especially around cities and along winding mountain roads.

Watch out for drivers overtaking around blind corners and swerving onto the opposite side of the road to avoid ubiquitous potholes. Drive on the left, and perhaps avoid Kingston and Montego Bay if you’re a first-timer.

Your guide to Jamaica Beach

Welcome to jamaica beach.

Jamaica Beach is a tiny collection of stilt houses in pastel yellows, vibrant greens, and bright blues that sits on a narrow strip of land on Galveston Island in southern Texas. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of a place bordered on the east and west by the city of Galveston and everywhere else by water.

Just 30 minutes’ drive from downtown Galveston and 90 minutes from Houston, Jamaica Beach was once a weekend vacation destination, but the town was incorporated in 1975 and it’s now a tight-knit community with a relaxed, small-town feel. The northwestern half of Jamaica Beach is carved through with canals that feed into West Bay and are great for kayaking and birdwatching, and the city also boasts a park and a public swimming pool that’s particularly popular during those hot Texas summers. But the main attraction here is the beach itself, with its wide stretches of sand and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Jamaica Beach

Summer is the busiest time of year in Jamaica Beach, especially on weekends and holidays. Vacationers, as well as daytrippers from Houston, flock to the Gulf Coast to escape the heat and humidity by splashing around in the surf. However, July, August, and September also bring a slight risk of hurricanes, so be sure to check the forecast.

Winters here are mild and lovely, but the best times of year are really spring and fall, when the weather is still warm but not scorching, and the crowds thin out, allowing Jamaica Beach to resume its laid-back pace. These shoulder season months are also when you’ll catch local events such as the annual Easter egg hunt, city-wide garage sale, and beach cleanups, and when birders come to watch the spring and fall migrations along the Central Flyway.

Top things to do in Jamaica Beach

Galveston island state park.

Immediately adjacent to Jamaica Beach, the 2,000-acre Galveston Island State Park also stretches across the barrier island from the bay to the Gulf and contains long, clean beaches; picnic areas; four miles of hiking paths and boardwalks; and even paddling trails for canoes and kayaks.

Local fishing

Galveston Island is an angler’s paradise, and more than 100 species of fish are regularly pulled from its surrounding waters, including redfish, black drum, tuna, mahi-mahi, and marlin. Fish from the shore, paddle out into the bay to drop a line, or head into Galveston and book a deep sea charter, then grill up your catch at the end of the day.

History of Piracy

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the shores of the Gulf Coast were overrun with pirates, including the infamous French privateer Jean Lafitte, who spent a great deal of time at the eastern end of Galveston Island. Jamaica Beach nods to this legacy, with streets named after real-life seafaring scoundrels and nautical figures from legends. Nearby Galveston also has a themed museum and entertainment venue where you can dig deeper into local piratical lore.

Ocho Rios also referred to as Ochi, is a tourist-friendly area in what the locals call 'the garden parish'. Here you will find an incredible variety of natural beauty, world-class resorts, and local flavors. The Mystic Mountain Rainforest and Dunn's River Falls are just two of the top experiences found in this area of the island.

Negril is the center of relaxation on the island. Known for its beautiful sunsets, picturesque sea cliffs, and white-sandy beaches, in Negril, time slows down. If a romantic escape is what you are seeking, look no further than Negril.

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
• For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
• December through February: 88° to 86° (Winter)

Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory

Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.

Top Experiences

Beaches : White-sand beaches and clear blue waters make a perfect backdrop for any vacation day.

Dunn's River Falls : Multiple waterfalls cascade down limestone ledges and flow out to sea.

Golf : Golfers will delight in the variety of courses, primarily in the Montego Bay area.

Local Flavors : Across the island, visitors will discover a unique blend of seasonings and spices that create the famous 'jerk' flavor known worldwide.

Music : The birthplace of reggae came right from Jamaica's shores and is celebrated throughout the island.
