How does an all inclusive Jamaica vacation sound? Great! If this is your first time planning an all inclusive Caribbean vacation to the great island of Jamaica, continue reading on for a helpful list of dos and don’ts.
DO remember that all inclusive resorts vary. We often associate all inclusive resorts with upscale accommodations and this is how they should be, but no two resorts are the same. Ensure you truly are getting a good deal by price comparing, reviewing the list of inclusions, and looking at ratings and reviews from former guests.
DON’T just compare costs. As previously stated, you want to find a good deal by comparing prices, but that is not all you should consider. When on a Caribbean vacation, don’t aim for the lowest price. Rather, aim for the best value for your money. This means the money you do spend is spent wisely. An inland resort is likely to have better rates, but not offer beachfront activities as inclusions. For that reason, it is worth it to pay more to vacation along the beach.
DO remember to order your passport. As you know, a passport is required for travel to and from the Caribbean (including Jamaica). If you don’t have a passport, order yours now; don’t wait until the last minute. You may spend weeks prepping for trip, but that preparation becomes useless if you don’t have the necessary travel documents to enter or leave Jamaica.
DON’T wait until the last minute to book your Jamaica all inclusive travel package. Jamaica resorts are huge; you never have to worry about getting a room. What you do have to worry about is having upgrades available. Would you rather spend your trip in a presidential oceanfront suite? If so, you are not alone but there are a limited number of suites available. On average, most travel experts recommend booking your trip no later than a month beforehand. With that said, it wouldn’t hurt to make your travel arrangements two, three, or even more months in advance.
DO look at resort pictures. On the websites of all inclusive Jamaica resorts, you will find lots of pictures. The pictures for resort rooms or suites are standard pictures, meaning your room will be similar but it may vary. Still, dissect these pictures. Look at the décor and the atmosphere created. Ensure you could see yourself staying there and having a good time. Also, examine pictures of restaurants and other facilities, like the beach or swimming pools. Once again, just image yourself there; are you happy? You should be.
DON’T forget that you are getting more than just a roof over your head. First time all inclusive travelers are often unfamiliar with the setup of all inclusive resorts. Basically, just about everything is included in with the cost of your stay. A stay at an inclusive resort should include your room or suite, qualifying airport transfers, food, snacks, drinks, tips, and some forms of onsite entertainment. For that reason, the cost will seem higher at first, but you get the best value for your money. In the end, you will likely see that you saved money too!
DO print a list of your resort’s inclusions; familiarize yourself with this list before leaving for your trip. It is easy to forget what is or isn’t included when you booked your trip beforehand. The best way to save money and get the most out of your Jamaica vacation is to make use of all that your resort has available. This handy little list or chart (which is available on most resort websites) will let you know what is included or what costs extra.
DON’T overfill your suitcase. It is easy to over pack for a trip, especially a Jamaica all inclusive vacation. You want to ensure you don’t leave anything you need at home, but there are risks to packing too much. What if your airline charges you an extra baggage fee? What if you don’t have room for souvenirs? Check the weather forecast before you leave and pack accordingly. Also, all resorts have laundry facilities available to guests, so you don’t really need to pack 14 outfits for a 7 day trip.
DO remember to relax and have fun. If you are visiting Jamaica for the first time, it is normal to be excited and worried at the same time. Jamaica is new to you, but don’t let your wide range of emotions make or break your trip. Once you step off the plane or arrive at their all inclusive Jamaica resort, take a deep breath, let loose, and have fun. In fact, do more than just have fun; have the time of your life!
